Abstract :According the current definition of the world health organization health literacy is the desire and capacity of people to form opinions and make decisions about health services throughout their lives, to access health-related information resources in order to protect, maintain, improve and improve their health, and to perceive health-related information and messages correctly. Misuse and abuse of emergency services is a common problem in our country. As authors, we think that the increase in the level of health literacy may prevent this misuse and abuse.Keywords : sağlık okuryazarlığı, acil servis
