Health literacy among college students majoring in kinesiology is higher than that among students in other majors. However, the structure of interactive health literacy is poorly understood, which may affect overall health literacy. Despite existing research on health literacy, studies targeting college students majoring in kinesiology are scarce, and a gap remains in translating study results into practical strategies. Therefore, this study constructed a theoretical model of interactive health literacy among college students majoring in kinesiology.
Qualitative data were collected from online posts, a literature review, and semi-structured interviews with 11 college students majoring in kinesiology, physical education teachers, and six physical fitness experts in China. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Interview questions focused on participants' perceptions of the structure and characteristics of interactive health literacy among college students majoring in kinesiology. Data were analyzed based on the grounded theory.
The analysis derived three categories with eight subcategories, 60 concepts, and 288 labels. The categories and subcategories were harnessing health information (comprising obtaining health information and comprehending health information), promoting health interactions (comprising perceiving health functions, shaping health awareness, and participating in health communication), and addressing health problems (comprising forming health motivation, making healthy decisions, and practicing healthy living).
College students majoring in kinesiology in China exhibited unique trends in interactive health literacy compared to students in other countries. Further large-scale surveys are required to revise and validate the initial exploration of perceptions and investigate the structural system of interactive health literacy in various groups.
运动机能学专业大学生的健康素养高于其他专业的学生。然而，互动健康素养的结构却鲜为人知，这可能会影响整体健康素养。尽管已有关于健康素养的研究，但针对运动机能学专业大学生的研究却很少，而且在将研究结果转化为实际策略方面仍存在差距。因此，本研究构建了运动机能学专业大学生互动健康素养的理论模型。
通过在线帖子、文献综述以及对11名中国运动机能学专业大学生、体育教师和6名体能专家进行半结构化访谈收集定性数据。采用目的抽样法选取参与者。访谈问题聚焦于参与者对运动机能学专业大学生互动健康素养的结构和特征的看法。基于扎根理论对数据进行分析。
分析得出三个类别，八个子类别，60个概念和288个标签。这些类别和子类别包括利用健康信息（包括获取健康信息和理解健康信息）、促进健康互动（包括感知健康功能、塑造健康意识和参与健康交流）以及解决健康问题（包括形成健康动机、做出健康决策和践行健康生活）。
与其他国家的学生相比，中国运动机能学专业大学生在互动健康素养方面呈现出独特的趋势。需要进一步开展大规模调查，以修订和验证对认知的初步探索，并调查不同群体中互动健康素养的结构体系。
