What this trial studies
This observational study aims to evaluate the health literacy levels of parents with infants aged 0-28 days regarding neonatal jaundice. It will explore the relationship between parents' health literacy and various characteristics of both parents and infants. The study will utilize a descriptive relational design, employing the Turkey Health Literacy Scale (TSOY-32) to gather data. A sample of approximately 170 parents will be recruited through a snowball sampling method in Turkey.

Not a fit: Parents who do not meet the inclusion criteria, such as those with communication disabilities or who do not speak Turkish, may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of parental knowledge about neonatal jaundice, leading to improved health outcomes for newborns.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited data on similar studies, the approach of assessing health literacy in relation to neonatal conditions has shown promise in other contexts.
