“…Huhman et al showed how a mass media campaign increased physical activity, produced positive changes, and prevented negative changes in health-related behaviors (9). Yoğurtcu and Ozturk Haney (10) showed that the development of strategies to improve media literacy among nurses can contribute to the maintenance of health-promoting behaviors among both nurses and their patients (37). Health information-seeking behavior and media use significantly influence healthy lifestyles, early diagnosis, and sensible disease management (38).…”

“…Unfortunately, this increase was accompanied by the dissemination of numerous false and incorrect pieces of information and data. Consequently, it became challenging for audiences to differentiate between reliable information and misleading content, hindering their ability to effectively diagnose and adopt the practical solutions provided by healthcare providers ( 10 ). In some cases, this issue prevented people from receiving vaccines or health care and led to a lack of trust in government and public health processes ( 11 ).…”

“…Furthermore, there has been a lack of systematic analysis to identify the key components that render interventions effective in promoting the accuracy and reliability of information. The understanding of how best to use information in a trustworthy Ziapour et al 10.3389/fdgth.2024.1277499 manner remains limited. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to conduct a systematic review that examines the role of SML in effectively addressing the challenges posed by the infodemic.…”

BackgroundThe term infodemic refers to the proliferation of both accurate and inaccurate information that creates a challenge in identifying trustworthy and credible sources. Among the strategies employed to mitigate the impact of the infodemic, social media literacy has emerged as a significant and effective approach. This systematic review examines the role of social media literacy in the management of the infodemic.MethodsSix databases, including SID, Magiran, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar and Web of Science were systematically searched using relevant keywords. We included the relevant publications between 2012 and 2023 in our analysis. To ensure a qualitative assessment of the studies, we used the STROBE and AMSTAR checklists as evaluation tools. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) guideline was used for the design of this review study. Finally, we organized the studies into groups based on similarities and retrieved and analyzed evidence pertaining to the challenges and opportunities identified.ResultsEleven papers were included in this study after reviewing the retrieved studies. Five of them examined the effect of social media literacy and health literacy on acceptance of health behaviors. Four studies investigated the role of media literacy in managing misinformation and fake news related to health. Two studies focused on infodemic management and promoting citizen engagement during health crises. Results showed that health-related infodemics are derived from the users' lack of media knowledge, distrust of government service systems, local influencers and peers, rapid circulation of information through mass media messages, weakness of solutions proposed by health care providers, failure to pay attention to the needs of the audience, vertical management, and inconsistency of published messages.ConclusionThe findings of this study highlight the importance of increasing social media literacy among the general public as a recognized strategy for managing the infodemic. Consequently, it is recommended that relevant organizations and institutions, such as the Ministry of Health, develop targeted training programs to effectively address this need.

“…Recent studies have highlighted that 81% of adults in the United States possess the ability to search the internet, with 72% using online sources for health-related information [ 2 ]. The rapid and discreet nature of the internet considerably increases the public’s inclination to use the internet for accessing health-related information [ 3 , 4 ]. However, online health information may contain complex, inaccurate, or even misleading content, resulting in low comprehensibility and reliability [ 5 ].…”

“…Studies have also proved that high eHealth literacy predicts balanced eating, regular exercise, and good sleep behaviors [ 17 , 23 ]. Additionally, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have indicated that people with high eHealth literacy can successfully cultivate a health-promoting lifestyle that includes health responsibility, exercise, nutrition, self-actualization, stress management, and interpersonal support [ 4 , 24 , 25 ].…”

Background The popularization of the internet and rapid development of mobile devices have led to an increased inclination and opportunities to obtain health-related information online. The eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS), widely used for measuring eHealth literacy, assesses an individual’s ability to search, understand, appraise, and use eHealth information. However, the Chinese version of the eHEALS multiple-factor model remains to be validated, and the correlation between eHEALS and the health-promoting lifestyle profile (HPLP) among university students is rarely explored in Taiwan. Objective This study aimed to examine the fit, validity, and reliability of the Chinese eHEALS multiple-factor model and to clarify the predictive effects of eHEALS on the HPLP among university students. Methods University students in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, were recruited, and 406 valid questionnaires including sociodemographic characteristics, eHEALS, and HPLP responses were collected. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to validate the Chinese eHEALS. Independent sample t test, 1-way ANOVA, and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between sociodemographic variables and the HPLP. Pearson product-moment correlation and binary logistic regression analyses were performed to ascertain the predictive effects of eHEALS on the HPLP. Results The Chinese eHEALS exhibited an optimal fit when delineated into the search, usage, and evaluation 3-factor model (comparative fit index=0.991, Tucker-Lewis index=0.984, root mean square error of approximation=0.062), and its validity and reliability were confirmed. The mean eHEALS score of university students was 3.17/4.00 (SD 0.48) points, and the score for the evaluation subscale was the lowest (mean 3.08, SD 0.56 points). Furthermore, there were significant sex, institution orientation, daily reading time, daily screen time, primary information channel, and perceived health status differences in the HPLP: male participants (t404=2.346, P=.02), participants attending general university (t404=2.564, P=.01), those reading ≥1 hour daily (F2,403=17.618, P<.001), those spending <3 hours on mobile devices or computers daily (F2,403=7.148, P<.001), those acquiring information from others (t404=3.892, P<.001), and those with a good perceived health status (F2,403=24.366, P<.001) had a significantly higher score. After adjusting for sociodemographic variables, the eHEALS score remained an independent predictor of the HPLP. Compared to students with relatively high eHEALS scores, those with relatively low eHEALS scores had a 3.37 times risk of a negative HPLP (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=3.37, 95% CI 1.49-7.61), which could explain 14.7%-24.4% of the variance (Cox-Snell R2=0.147, Nagelkerke R2=0.244, P=.004). Conclusions There is room for improvement in eHealth literacy among university students in Taipei. eHEALS may be used to screen students who require HPLP improvement, thereby providing appropriate eHealth literacy training programs, particularly those targeting evaluation literacy. Additionally, the 3-factor model of the Chinese eHEALS used in this study results in more definite scale content, thus increasing the practicality and applicability of this scale in health-promoting studies.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Gesundheitseinrichtungen sind gefordert, Patient*innen in ihrer Gesundheitskompetenz zu unterstützen und zu fördern. Dabei kommt Pflegefachpersonen eine bedeutsame Rolle zu, auf die Informationsfähigkeiten und -bedarfe von Patient*innen einzugehen. Bislang ist jedoch kaum untersucht, inwieweit die Pflegepraxis auf diese Aufgabe vorbereitet ist. Ziel Ziel der Studie ist es, die Ausgangslage in pflegerischen Informations- und Beratungssituationen zu beschreiben, auf die die Bestrebungen der Förderung der organisationalen Gesundheitskompetenz treffen. Methode Es wurden 21 leitfadengestützte Interviews mit Pflegefachpersonen durchgeführt. Die Auswertung erfolgte thematisch kodierend. Ergebnisse Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich Pflegefachpersonen auf eine Ad-hoc-Informationsvermittlung spezialisiert haben, in der Aufklärung und Wissensvermittlung im Vordergrund stehen. Beratende und schulende Ansätze finden sich kaum. Adressiert wird ein breites Feld an Informationsthemen, das von Gesundheitsförderung und Prävention bis zu Fragen der Behandlung, Koordination und des Selbstmanagements reicht. Hier zeigt sich eine direkte Passfähigkeit an Konzepte der organisationalen Gesundheitskompetenz. Deutlich wird jedoch, dass es nach dem Berufseinstieg an strukturierten Qualifikationsmöglichkeiten für Pflegefachpersonen zum Thema Kommunikation mangelt. Informationstechniken erarbeiten sie sich durch Erfahrungslernen mit zunehmender Berufserfahrung überwiegend selbst. Schlussfolgerungen Die Ergebnisse liefern Hinweise auf die aktuelle Praxis der Vermittlung von gesundheitskompetenzfördernden Informationen durch Pflegefachpersonen. Sie bieten Ansatzpunkte für die zukünftige Konzeptentwicklung, etwa Pflegefachpersonen gezielter in ihrem Qualifikationsbedarf zu unterstützen.
