The data was analyzed utilizing descriptive statistics, Hotelling T2, and MANCOVA. The findings were: 1) the learning management processes to enhance the health literacy of nursing students by applying design-based research consisted of five steps: (i) learning and understanding of self and others, (ii) inquiry and exchange, (iii) consideration and decision making, (iv) modifying the actions, and (v) reflections and transfers; 2) The health literacy scores of nursing students in the experimental group after intervention were significantly higher than for the control group at a level of .05 and the health literacy scores of nursing students in the experimental group on the posttest after manipulation were significantly higher than for the control group at.05

“…The e-book creation skills of teachers were at a very good level, and teachers' satisfaction with the e-book creation training course was at the highest level. Finally, some outcomes of this research are consistent with the findings of Sarnkhaowkhom and Suwathanpornkul (2022), who did research on designing and implementing a learning management process for enhancing health literacy among nursing students (an application of design-based research), which found that health literacy scores of nursing students in the experimental group on the post-test after manipulation were significantly higher than for the control group at 0.05. This is a part for guarantee that the post-tests are always more effective than before.…”
