Adoption of health-promoting behaviors is crucial for improving people's well-being. As future health promoters, nursing students are encouraged to lead healthy lifestyles. The aim of this study was to investigate the status of health-promoting behaviors among nursing students and determine their associations with e-health literacy. The mediating effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between e-health literacy and health-promoting behaviors was also explored. A cross-sectional design was adopted to enroll 494 nursing students from the Hunan College of Foreign Studies in China. An online survey based on the simplified Chinese version of the e-Health Literacy Scale (SC-eHEALS), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), and the Chinese version of the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-IICR) were used to collect data. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 27.0 and PROCESS macro. It was observed that self-efficacy mediated the relationship between e-health literacy and health-promoting behaviors among nursing students, and the mediating effect accounted for 35.10%% of the total effect ( < 0.001). Collectively, these findings indicate that nursing students have a moderate level of health-promoting behaviors, and that e-health literacy can improve health-promoting behaviors by enhancing self-efficacy.
采用促进健康的行为对于改善人们的福祉至关重要。作为未来的健康促进者，鼓励护理专业学生养成健康的生活方式。本研究旨在调查护理专业学生促进健康行为的现状，并确定其与电子健康素养的关联。还探讨了自我效能感在电子健康素养与促进健康行为之间关系中的中介作用。采用横断面设计，招募了来自中国湖南外国语职业学院的494名护理专业学生。基于电子健康素养量表简体中文版（SC-eHEALS）、一般自我效能感量表（GSE）和健康促进生活方式概况-II中文版（HPLP-IICR）进行在线调查以收集数据。使用SPSS 27.0和PROCESS宏进行统计分析。结果发现，自我效能感在护理专业学生的电子健康素养与促进健康行为之间起中介作用，中介效应占总效应的35.10%（<0.001）。总体而言，这些研究结果表明，护理专业学生的促进健康行为处于中等水平，并且电子健康素养可以通过增强自我效能感来改善促进健康行为。
