What this trial studies

This observational study assesses the relationship between health and digital health literacy and attitudes toward complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) among patients at a physical medicine and rehabilitation outpatient clinic. It aims to understand how low health literacy may influence patients' decisions to use potentially unsafe herbal products. The study will involve at least 200 volunteer patients aged 18 to 65, who will complete questionnaires measuring their health literacy and attitudes toward CAM. The findings are expected to inform educational efforts to enhance health literacy and improve rehabilitation outcomes.
