Summary

The aim of the study was determined to examine the relationship between the health literacy scales of the patients who came to the smoking cessation clinic and their smoking cessation success. The patient follow-up files registered in the archive of the smoking cessation clinic will be scanned for the last 2 years and the demographic data and follow-up information of the patients will be reached. Patients who have completed the 1-year follow-up period will be contacted by phone, questioning whether they smoke or not, and will be invited to answer the health literacy scale. Accepting patients will be divided into two groups as those who quit smoking and those who cannot, and health literacy scales will be compared.

BEHAVIORAL	Health literacy scale	The Turkish version of The European Health Literacy Survey (HLS-EU) Health Literacy Questionnaire scale (ASOY-TR) was used to measure health literacy. This scale consists of 47 questions. Each item has 4 degrees such that 1 = Very difficult, 2 = Difficult, 3 = Easy, 4 = Very easy. Code 5 is used for the expression "I don't know". The total score that can be obtained from the scale is between 47-188. For the sake of ease of calculation, the total score is standardized with the following formula to take a value between 0-50. Formula = Index = (arithmetic mean-1) x \[50/3\] High score means better health literacy.
