Background:
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly increased public interest in e-health literacy, especially among university students. However, gaps remain in their ability to find and use credible online health information.
Purpose:
This study explores the effects of public health emergencies on e-health literacy among Chinese university students, aiming to identify influencing factors and propose solutions to improve digital health education.
Methods:
A structured survey using the eHEALS scale and additional questionnaires was administered to 300 students in Northern China. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 25.0, focusing on literacy levels and their determinants.
Results:
The pandemic heightened interest in e-health, leading to modest improvements in literacy levels. However, challenges persist, including evaluating the credibility of information and addressing privacy concerns. Apps emerged as the most widely used e-health tools.
Discussion:
Findings highlight the importance of targeted health education programs to bridge gaps in e-health literacy and support students in effectively using digital health tools. The results emphasize integrating privacy safeguards and enhancing user trust in e-health systems.
Conclusions:
Enhancing e-health literacy can empower students to make informed health decisions, fostering better self-management and resilience during public health crises.
