Abstract
The aim of this study was to find the relationship between Health Literacy (HL) and Mental Health Status of Undergraduate Students in Bandung, Indonesia. In this study, 102 undergraduate students were recruited. This correlational study held with two types of psychological measurement that translated to Indonesian, those are Health Literacy Quetionnaire (HLQ) and Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ).. Data was collected by online questionnaire, then statistically processed with Spearman-rank test.. The results showed that there’s a negaitve correlation between Health Literacy and Mental Health Status (r=-0.266, p<0.05). Our results suggest that the undergraduate students should improve their health literacy, because the students with higher Health Literacy levels report lower indication of mental disorder. Further research is needed to recruite more participants in more wide population.
