Abstract

Background

Mothers need a competent electronic health literacy (eHL) skill for beneficial gains for the health of their children in the virtual environment, which is a new health platform. We predict that a competent eHL of mothers who play a central role in early childhood will positively affect the health of their children. This study aimed to determine the level of eHL of mothers of young children and investigate the relationship between mothers' eHL and early childhood development (ECD) and early parenting practices (EPP).

Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted on mothers with children aged 36–59 months using eHealth. Sociodemographic and personal characteristics form, Early Childhood Development Module and eHealth Literacy Scale were administered to the participating mothers.

Results

The data from 440 mother–child pairs were analysed. Children of mothers with sufficient eHL levels were more likely to be Early Childhood Development Index (ECDI)-on-track, adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.16 (1.29–3.61); have adequate support in learning, AOR (%95 CI): 3.23 (1.69–6.18); and have adequate daily meals and snacks, AOR (%95 CI): 2.43 (1.56–3.78).

Conclusion

These results revealed that there is a need for interventions that will contribute to child health by improving mothers' eHL levels.

探索相互作用：孕产妇电子健康知识及其对幼儿发展和育儿实践的影响

背景母亲需要具备合格的电子健康素养（eHL）技能，才能在虚拟环境这一新型健康平台中为子女的健康带来益处。我们预测，在幼儿期发挥核心作用的母亲具备合格的电子健康素养将对其子女的健康产生积极影响。本研究旨在确定幼儿母亲的 eHL 水平，并调查母亲的 eHL 与幼儿发展（ECD）和早期养育实践（EPP）之间的关系。方法这项横断面研究是针对有 36-59 个月大孩子的母亲使用电子保健进行的。对参与研究的母亲进行了社会人口学和个人特征表、儿童早期发展模块和电子健康素养量表的测量。结果分析了 440 对母子的数据。拥有足够电子健康素养水平的母亲的子女更有可能达到儿童早期发展指数（ECDI），调整后的几率比（AOR），95% 置信区间（CI）：2.16（1.29-3.61）；在学习方面获得充分支持，AOR（95% CI）：3.23（1.69-6.18）；以及获得充足的每日膳食和零食，AOR（95% CI）：2.43（1.56-3.78）。结论这些结果表明，有必要采取干预措施，通过提高母亲的电子保健水平来促进儿童健康。

期刊介绍： Child: care, health and development is an international, peer-reviewed journal which publishes papers dealing with all aspects of the health and development of children and young people. We aim to attract quantitative and qualitative research papers relevant to people from all disciplines working in child health. We welcome studies which examine the effects of social and environmental factors on health and development as well as those dealing with clinical issues, the organization of services and health policy. We particularly encourage the submission of studies related to those who are disadvantaged by physical, developmental, emotional and social problems. The journal also aims to collate important research findings and to provide a forum for discussion of global child health issues.
