To investigate the associations of eHealth Literacy with health-promoting behaviours among hospital nurses in South Korea.
Health-promoting behaviours of nurses are crucial for their own improved health and health-related behaviours of patients. eHealth literacy refers to the ability to search, understand and evaluate health information available online. With the growing use of the Internet, eHealth literacy is emerging as an important factor enhancing health-promoting behaviours.
Descriptive cross-sectional design with self-reported questionnaires.
Data were collected between March-May 2016 from five hospitals in South Korea. Health-promoting behaviours and eHealth literacy were assessed using Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II and K-eHEALS, respectively. Multiple linear regression models were used to examine the associations of eHealth literacy and health-promoting behaviours.
Nurses with high level of eHealth literacy had significantly positive overall health-promoting behaviours, stress management, interpersonal relations, self-actualization and health responsibility, but not for nutrition and physical activity.
Improving eHealth literacy through various strategies could be an effective way to boost health-promoting behaviours among nurses. However, improvement of actual health-promoting behaviours such as nutrition and physical activity will require systematic and organizational changes.
调查电子健康素养与韩国医院护士健康促进行为之间的关联。
护士的健康促进行为对他们自身健康的改善和患者的健康相关行为至关重要。电子健康素养是指在线搜索、理解和评估健康信息的能力。随着互联网的普及，电子健康素养作为一种增强健康促进行为的重要因素正在兴起。
横断面描述性研究，采用自我报告问卷。
2016 年 3 月至 5 月期间，在韩国的五家医院收集数据。使用健康促进生活方式量表-Ⅱ和 K-eHEALS 分别评估健康促进行为和电子健康素养。采用多元线性回归模型来检验电子健康素养和健康促进行为之间的关联。
电子健康素养水平较高的护士在整体健康促进行为、压力管理、人际关系、自我实现和健康责任方面表现出显著的积极行为，但在营养和身体活动方面则不然。
通过各种策略提高电子健康素养可能是促进护士健康促进行为的有效途径。然而，要改善实际的健康促进行为，如营养和身体活动，则需要进行系统和组织的变革。
