With the popularization of the Internet, it has become possible to widely disseminate health information social media. Medical staff's health communication through social media can improve the public's health literacy, and improving the intention of health communication among nursing undergraduates is of great significance for them to actively carry out health communication after entering clinical practice.
To explore the relationship among eHealth literacy, social media self-efficacy, and health communication intention and to determine the mediating role of social media self-efficacy in the relationship between eHealth literacy and health communication intention.
A cross-sectional descriptive correlation design was used in this study.
Stratified cluster sampling was used to select 958 nursing students from four nursing colleges in Jiangsu Province, China, from June to July 2021.
Data were collected using the eHealth Literacy Scale, the Social Media Self-efficacy Scale, and the Health Communication Intention Questionnaire. Sociodemographic data were also collected. Correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to determine the relationship between eHealth literacy, social media self-efficacy, and health communication intention.
Health communication intention is positively correlated with eHealth literacy and social media self-efficacy. There is a significant positive correlation between eHealth literacy and health communication intention (β = 0.57, < 0.001), and social media self-efficacy played a mediating role in the influence of eHealth literacy on health communication intention (the mediating effect accounted for 37.2% of the total effect).
The study found that eHealth literacy and social media self-efficacy had an impact on health communication intention. Because there is a correlation between eHealth literacy and social media self-efficacy and health communication intention, in order to promote health communication intention of nursing students, it is also important to cultivate eHealth literacy and social media self-efficacy of nursing students. In view of these results, targeted educational programs must be developed to improve eHealth literacy and social media self-efficacy among nursing undergraduates, thereby promoting their health information transmission.
随着互联网的普及，通过社交媒体广泛传播健康信息成为可能。医务人员通过社交媒体进行健康传播，可以提高公众的健康素养，提高护理本科生健康传播意愿，对他们进入临床实践后积极开展健康传播具有重要意义。
探讨电子健康素养、社交媒体自我效能与健康传播意愿的关系，确定社交媒体自我效能在电子健康素养与健康传播意愿之间的中介作用。
本研究采用横断面描述性相关性设计。
采用分层整群抽样法，于 2021 年 6-7 月选取江苏省 4 所护理学院的 958 名护理学生作为研究对象。
采用电子健康素养量表、社交媒体自我效能感量表和健康传播意愿问卷进行调查，同时收集学生的人口学资料。采用相关性分析和回归分析探讨电子健康素养、社交媒体自我效能与健康传播意愿的关系。
健康传播意愿与电子健康素养和社交媒体自我效能呈正相关。电子健康素养与健康传播意愿呈显著正相关（β=0.57，<0.001），社交媒体自我效能在电子健康素养对健康传播意愿的影响中起中介作用（中介效应占总效应的 37.2%）。
本研究发现，电子健康素养和社交媒体自我效能对健康传播意愿有影响。由于电子健康素养与社交媒体自我效能和健康传播意愿之间存在相关性，为了提高护理学生的健康传播意愿，培养护理学生的电子健康素养和社交媒体自我效能也很重要。鉴于这些结果，必须制定有针对性的教育计划，以提高护理本科生的电子健康素养和社交媒体自我效能，从而促进他们传播健康信息。
