Background: With the advent of the information age, rapid progress has been made in Chinese medical and health services. As the main force to give thorough, systematic and integral services for patients, nurses play an important role in the development of information-based medical care. However, there is a lack of research on the information literacy of nurses in the hospitals of different levels in China.Methods: We selected 30 hospitals in Shaanxi Province by convenient sampling method and distributed 3,480 questionnaires from March to July 2020. The self-reported questionnaire included general information of nurses and their information literacy scale which was filled in the form of anonymity on the Internet. We then performed descriptive analyses, univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis on the collected data.Results: We obtained 3,011 valid questionnaires, with the response rate of 94.71% (n=3,296). The total score of information literacy of 3,011 nurses was 114.18 ± 18.62, including 115.39 ± 17.66 for tertiary hospital nurses, 114.65 ± 19.02 for secondary hospital nurses and 105.00 ± 18.68 for primary hospital nurses (F=33.755, P=0.000). The nurses who were in primary hospital, with low education background or at older age, could not use database, had not participated in information literacy training, spent less spare time on learning, read less literature, had lower information literacy level (F＝39.687, P＝0.000). Conclusions: There are differences in nurses' information literacy among hospitals of different levels and several factors are associated with the information literacy. Since the information literacy of nurses in primary hospitals is the lowest, we should pay special attention to improving their information literacy, in particular. The government should strengthen information support and organize information literacy training. The hospitals should offer courses, lectures, seminars to improve the information literacy of nurses. Nurses should improve their information skills, read the latest professional literature, and constantly improve themselves.

“…Health literacy is an essential issue to consider in the programmes planned for decreasing the inequalities and increasing the health selfresponsibility in disadvantaged groups for health promotion (Mahamed, Parhizkar, & Shirazi, 2012;Mahdizadeh & Solhi, 2018;Mas et al, 2015). Women are a disadvantaged group, who yet play a key role in protecting and promoting the health of both their society and their family (Cho, Han, & Park, 2018;Komenaka et al, 2015;Messadi et al, 2018;Wang, Lin, Yang, Tsai, & Huang, 2012). Therefore, it is vital to increase the health literacy levels of women.…”

“…The WHO (2012) emphasizes the importance of increasing health literacy levels in its health promotion programmes based on empowering individuals and increasing community participation. In the literature, it is reported that the health literacy level of women is related to developing healthy life style habits and positive health behaviours (Cho et al, 2018;Mahamed et al, 2012;Mahdizadeh & Solhi, 2018;Plummer & Chalmers, 2017). It is accepted that "adequate" health literacy for women is a significant indicator of the health-promoting behaviours such as healthy eating, normal body mass index, quitting smoking and alcohol drinking, regular physical activity, and regular medical screening (Knobf, Erdos, & Jeon, 2018;Komenaka et al, 2015;Plummer & Chalmers, 2017;Wang et al, 2012).…”

Aim The aim of this study was to determine whether implementation of a healthy lifestyle education programme resulted in improved health literacy levels and healthy life style behaviours. Methods A one‐group pretest‐posttest study design was used. This study was carried out with 30 women who were enrolled in a family health centre. A questionnaire comprising the Adult Health Literacy Scale, Healthy Lifestyle Behaviour Scale‐II, Perception of Health Scale, and Short Test of Functional Health Literacy was used for data collection. Eight home visits including training and follow‐up followed the first interview at the family health centre. The healthy lifestyle training was applied once per week during home visits. After the training sessions were completed, women were followed‐up through four home visits biweekly in the second and the third months. Results The difference between the Adult Health Literacy Scale and Short Test of Functional Health Literacy pretest‐posttest mean scores was statistically significant (P < .05). Although the Perception of Health Scale and the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviour Scale‐II posttest scores were higher than the pretest scores, the difference between the groups was not statistically significant. Conclusion The training and counselling intervention visits increased health literacy but did not significantly change the healthy life style behaviours and health perceptions of the women.

Aims To examine the factorial validity of the eHealth Literacy Scale among hospital nurses and to investigate the associations of its components with health‐promoting behaviours and nursing performance quality. Design This cross‐sectional study used survey data of 484 Korean hospital nurses, which were collected between March–May 2016. Methods The three‐factor structure was tested using confirmatory factor analyses. Multiple linear regression was conducted to test associations of the three components' scores with health‐promoting behaviours and self‐rated nursing performance quality. Results The eHealth Literacy Scale supported a three‐factor structure: awareness of internet health resources (awareness), having skills needed to access resources (skills), and the ability to evaluate the quality of internet health resources (evaluation). All the three components were significantly associated with higher quality of nursing performance and better interpersonal relations. Stress management, spiritual growth, and health responsibility were linked with evaluation or skills but physical activity and nutrition were not. Conclusion Strategies to enhance eHealth literacy among nurses could improve nurses' health and further patient care. Training to build nurses' self‐efficacy to evaluate internet health information could improve eHealth literacy and should be developed and examined. Impact To improve nurses' health and patient care, training programs to build nurses' self‐efficacy to access and evaluate internet health information should be developed.

Associations of eHealth literacy with health‐promoting behaviours among hospital nurses: A descriptive cross‐sectional study

Abstract: Improving eHealth literacy through various strategies could be an effective way to boost health-promoting behaviours among nurses. However, improvement of actual health-promoting behaviours such as nutrition and physical activity will require systematic and organizational changes.
