Core Tip
Core Tip: This study explores the relationship between health literacy, self-control, and organ donation and transplantation awareness. Findings reveal that self-control mediates the positive impact of health literacy on awareness. By enhancing health literacy, individuals can develop better self-control, leading to increased awareness of organ donation and transplantation. These insights highlight the importance of targeting health literacy and self-regulation in public health initiatives to promote organ donation.
