Health Literacy and Quality of Life: A pilot study among Klang Valley public university students

Health literacy is vital in individual health outcomes and quality of life, particularly for university students facing key life transitions. This pilot study assesses the impact of health literacy on students' quality of life (QoL) at public universities in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. Using a structured questionnaire, students self-reported their QoL across social, mental, and physical domains and health literacy levels. A total of 45 students from public universities participated in the pilot survey. The study examined three dimensions of student performance: health behaviours, health knowledge, and health skills.
