During the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic, could be observed an established use of online information in the field of coronavirus disease worldwide. As a systematic review study, the present investigation aimed to evaluate related studies about digital health/e-health literacy among university students in the coronavirus disease 2019 era.
Three electronic bibliographic databases (PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Google Scholar) were searched from 2020 until June 2022, and articles were screened according to pre-established inclusion criteria.
Fifteen studies were included in this systematic review study. All of the studies were cross-sectional in design, and in total, 45,255 students were evaluated. The majority of studies report health literacy scores among university students that are lower compared to reference samples. Students' health literacy is influenced by different variables (age, gender, socioeconomic background, sources of online information, well-being, and satisfaction with data).
Digital health literacy (DHL) shapes health behaviors and actions. To enhance DHL, multidisciplinary teams from diverse fields can design curricula suitable for students. The internet's role in DHL is crucial, but it can also spread misleading content. Therefore, professionals should provide clear, evidence-based information and encourage critical data evaluation. Future studies should use robust sampling methods, consider students with limited internet access, and address the unique needs of specific populations, such as those with disabilities and low socioeconomic status.
在严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2大流行期间，可以观察到冠状病毒病领域在全球范围内对在线信息的既定使用。作为一项系统评价研究，本调查旨在评估关于2019冠状病毒病时代大学生数字健康/电子健康素养的相关研究。
检索了三个电子文献数据库（PubMed/Medline、Scopus和谷歌学术），检索时间从2020年至2022年6月，并根据预先确定的纳入标准筛选文章。
本系统评价研究纳入了15项研究。所有研究均为横断面设计，共评估了45255名学生。大多数研究报告称，与参考样本相比，大学生的健康素养得分较低。学生的健康素养受到不同变量（年龄、性别、社会经济背景、在线信息来源、幸福感和对数据的满意度）的影响。
数字健康素养（DHL）塑造健康行为和行动。为了提高数字健康素养，来自不同领域的多学科团队可以设计适合学生的课程。互联网在数字健康素养方面的作用至关重要，但它也可能传播误导性内容。因此，专业人员应提供清晰、基于证据的信息，并鼓励对数据进行批判性评估。未来的研究应采用可靠的抽样方法，考虑到互联网接入有限的学生，并满足特定人群（如残疾人和社会经济地位较低者）的独特需求。
