Abstract

Health literacy of students plays a key role in ensuring their health. The present study aims to structurally analyze students’ health literacy based on hidden curriculum, teaching effectiveness, and teachers’ health literacy through the mediation of academic performance. The research method is descriptive-correlational type of structural equation model. The statistical population includes all 12th grade students (N=6940) of female high schools of all 5 districts, who have passed health course as well as all of the health course teachers (N=131) who are teaching in these schools. Using Krejcie and Morgan Table and by applying proportional stratified random sampling, the sample size of students was 365 and the sample size of health teachers based on the schools of the selected students was 100. The data of the present study were collected using three questionnaires of health literacy, teaching effectiveness, hidden curriculum and the final scores of students. Validity and reliability of questionnaires were examined and confirmed to be higher than 0.7. The results of structural equations modelling by PLS software showed that health literacy of students based on hidden curriculum, teaching effectiveness and health literacy of teachers through the mediation of academic performance of 12th grade in female high schools of Tabriz is predictable (p<0.01).schools and teachers have the main role and responsibility of promoting health literacy in students, and providing appropriate curricula to promote health literacy will lead to the improvement of health behaviors in students.
