Abstract

To unpack the process of how health information seeking influences health behaviors, we examined the mediating roles of interpersonal discussion and online information sharing in the associations between health information seeking and healthy lifestyle behaviors and the moderating role of health literacy in the associations among health information seeking, interpersonal discussion, online information sharing, and healthy lifestyle behaviors. Data from a large-scale, representative survey (N = 916) revealed that interpersonal discussion and online information sharing mediated the associations between health information seeking and healthy lifestyle behaviors. The associations between health information seeking and interpersonal discussion and between health information seeking and online information sharing were stronger for individuals with high health literacy than those with low health literacy. Findings advance the understanding of the influence of health information seeking and provide practical guidance for promoting a healthy lifestyle.

寻求健康信息对健康生活方式的间接影响：健康素养很重要

为了揭示健康信息寻求如何影响健康行为的过程，我们研究了人际讨论和在线信息共享在健康信息寻求与健康生活方式行为之间的关联中的中介作用，以及健康素养在健康信息寻求、人际讨论、在线信息共享和健康生活方式行为之间的关联中的调节作用。一项大规模、有代表性的调查（N = 916）数据显示，人际讨论和在线信息共享对健康信息寻求与健康生活方式行为之间的关联起着中介作用。与健康素养较低的人相比，健康素养较高的人寻求健康信息与人际讨论之间以及寻求健康信息与在线信息共享之间的关联性更强。研究结果加深了人们对健康信息寻求的影响的理解，并为促进健康生活方式提供了实用指导。
