“…This nurse‐led transitional care programme could improve participants' self‐efficacy to implement various health‐promoting behaviours in the domains of nutrition, psychological well‐being, exercise and health responsibilities. Previous studies indicated that health‐promoting behaviours in patients with CAD were predicted by self‐efficacy (Chiou, Hsu, & Hung, ; Kang, Yang, & Kim, ). This study is an evidence for the use of transitional care as an effective approach to enhance CAD patients' ability to adopt health‐promoting behaviours.…”

“…In addition, given that the factors that influence health-promoting lifestyles are complex and interdependent, future studies should explore which factors are critical and how these factors influence one another. For example, self-efficacy has been found to be a significant predictor of health-promoting lifestyles [2,42]. Future studies could further examine whether the measurement of self-efficacy and other critical factors add value to our understanding of the pathway from eHealth literacy to perceptions of health-promoting lifestyles.…”

“…A health-promoting lifestyle, including self-actualization, health responsibility, exercise, nutrition, interpersonal support, and stress management, can be viewed as positive actions or perceptions directed toward maintaining or enhancing health and well-being [1]. A health-promoting lifestyle can help individuals attain positive health outcomes [2]. Therefore, understanding individuals’ health-promoting lifestyles can help us identify health problems and develop interventions to promote health.…”

BackgroundeHealth literacy is gaining importance for maintaining and promoting health. Studies have found that individuals with high eHealth literacy are more likely to adopt healthy eating, exercise, and sleep behaviors. In addition, previous studies have shown that various individual factors (eg, frequency of seeking information on health issues, degree of health concern, frequency of eating organic food, and students’ college major) are associated with eHealth literacy and health-promoting lifestyles. Nevertheless, few studies have explored the associations among individual factors, eHealth literacy, and health-promoting lifestyles among college students. Moreover, there is a lack of studies that focus on eHealth literacy as a predictor of psychological health behaviors.ObjectiveTo examine the associations among various individual factors, eHealth literacy, and health-promoting lifestyles.MethodsThe eHealth Literacy Scale is a 12-item instrument designed to measure college students’ functional, interactive, and critical eHealth literacy. The Health-promoting Lifestyle Scale is a 23-item instrument developed to measure college students’ self-actualization, health responsibility, interpersonal support, exercise, nutrition, and stress management. A nationally representative sample of 556 valid college students in Taiwan was surveyed. A questionnaire was administered to gather the respondents’ background information, including the frequency of seeking information on health issues, the frequency of eating organic food, the degree of health concern, and the students’ major. We then conducted a multiple regression analysis to examine the associations among individual factors, eHealth literacy, and health-promoting lifestyles.ResultsThe study found that factors such as medical majors (t550=2.47-7.55, P<.05) and greater concern with health (t550=2.15-9.01, P<.05) predicted college students’ 4-6 health-promoting lifestyle dimensions and the 3 dimensions of eHealth literacy. Moreover, critical eHealth literacy positively predicted all 6 health-promoting lifestyle dimensions (t547=2.66-7.28, P<.01), functional literacy positively predicted 2 dimensions (t547=2.32-2.98, P<.05), and interactive literacy predicted only the self-actualization dimension (t547=2.81, P<.01).ConclusionsThis study found that participants who majored in medical fields had greater concern with their health and frequently sought health information, exhibited better eHealth literacy, and had a positive health-promoting lifestyle. Moreover, this study showed that college students with a higher critical eHealth literacy engaged better in health-promoting activities than those with functional and interactive literacy.

“…In addition to the attitudes toward aging variable, independent variables (gender, age, education, economic status, marital status, and self-perceptions of health) that were significant in the univariate analysis were included in the multiple linear regression model. Independent variables found to be effective in promoting healthy behaviours were used (Chiou, Hsu & Hung, 2016;Kulakçı, Kuzlu Ayyıldız, Emiroğlu, & Köroğlu, 2012;Lee et al, 2006;Polat & Bayrak Kahraman, 2013;Rakhshani et al, 2014;Sohng, Sohng, & Yeom, 2002). P values lower than .05 were considered significant.…”
