Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between the health literacy of employees and smoking, drinking, diet and exercise, and provide scientific basis for health education and targeted intervention. Methods: From February to July 2019, a cluster random sampling method was adopted to select enterprise employees in Shihezi City to conduct a questionnaire survey. Self-made questionnaires and "National Resident Health Literacy Monitoring Questionnaire" were used to assess the social demographics, health literacy, and Health-related behaviors were investigated, and 1053 valid questionnaires were collected. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between health literacy and the three dimensions with smoking, drinking, diet and exercise. Results: Total score of health literacy of enterprise employees is (42.06±11.03) points and the employee health literacy rate of Shihezi City in 2019 is 19.47%. Univariate analysis showed that non-smokers had higher health literacy and three-dimensional health literacy availability than smokers (P<0.01) ; fewer drinkers had higher health literacy availability than overdrinkers (P<0.05) ; balanced diet health literacy availability The health literacy availability rates in the three dimensions were higher than those in the unbalanced diet (P<0.01) . In the logistic regression analysis, healthy lifestyle and behavioral literacy were independently related to smoking behavior (OR=1.571, P<0.05) ; the presence of health literacy and the three dimensions of health literacy were not statistically related to alcohol consumption (P>0.05) ; there is a statistical correlation between health literacy, healthy lifestyles, behaviors, and health skills and regular exercise among employees (OR=1.829、2.503、1.395, P<0.05) ; employees with health literacy and three dimensions of health literacy are more likely to have a balanced diet (P<0.01) . Conclusion: There is a correlation between the health literacy of enterprise employees and diet and exercise. The improvement of health literacy level is an important way to interfere with unhealthy behaviors.
