The Effect of Health Literacy of Teachers and Parents on the Quality of Life of Primary School Students

Moreover, it is well-established that parents serve as role models in fostering positive health behaviours and improving the quality of life of their children. Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the impact of the health literacy of teachers and parents, who are thought to influence school-age children's perceptions of health and life, on the quality of life of primary school students.
