摘要

引言虽然互联网是了解健康问题的宝贵资源，但对于那些没有足够电子健康知识技能的人来说，它可能会对不必要的焦虑和网络痴呆症风险产生不利影响。提高电子健康素养对于控制健康和死亡焦虑以及降低网络成瘾风险至关重要。本研究旨在确定大学生的电子健康素养、健康焦虑、网络成瘾和死亡焦虑水平，从自变量的角度对其进行评估，并研究量表之间的关系：研究对象为在某大学卫生系接受教育的 568 名学生。使用电子健康素养量表、健康焦虑量表、网络成瘾严重程度量表和死亡焦虑量表获取数据。采用卡方检验、Mann-Whitney U、Kruskal-Wallis、Tamhane's T2 post hoc检验和Spearman相关性检验对数据进行分析：电子健康素养平均得分为（28.63±4.65）分，健康焦虑为（19.11±8.37）分，网络心理为（86.30±18.28）分，死亡焦虑为（7.34±2.14）分。女性和不进行网上健康研究者的网络焦虑程度较低。收入高于最低工资者的电子健康素养较高。男性和不进行网上健康相关研究的人对健康和死亡的焦虑程度较低。健康焦虑与网络焦虑和死亡焦虑呈正相关，与电子健康素养呈负相关。网络焦虑和电子健康素养与死亡焦虑之间呈正相关。本研究强调了电子健康素养、健康焦虑、网络成瘾和死亡焦虑之间的复杂关系。它表明，低电子健康素养会增加健康焦虑，而健康焦虑又会加重网络病症和死亡焦虑。通过强调电子健康素养在健康教育中的重要性，研究结果可帮助学生控制焦虑，做出明智的健康决定，并提高他们的专业能力。

The Relationship Between E-Health Literacy, Health Anxiety, Cyberchondria, and Death Anxiety in University Students That Study in Health Related Department.

Introduction: While the Internet can be a valuable resource for learning about health issues, for those without adequate e-health literacy skills, it can have adverse effects on unwanted anxiety and cyberchondria risk. Improving e-health literacy is essential to manage health and death anxiety and help reduce the risk of cyberchondria. The aim of this study is to determine the e-health literacy, health anxiety, cyberchondria and death anxiety levels of university students, evaluate them in terms of independent variables and examine the relationship between the scales.

Methods: The study was completed with 568 students receiving education in the health department of a university. Data were obtained using the e-Health Literacy Scale, Health Anxiety Inventory, Cyberchondria Severity Scale, and Death Anxiety Scale. The chi-square, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, Tamhane's T2 post hoc tests, and Spearman correlation were used to analyze the data.

Results: The mean score of e-health literacy was 28.63±4.65; health anxiety was 19.11±8.37, cyberchondria was 86.30±18.28 and death anxiety was 7.34±2.14. Cyberchondria is low in women and those who do not conduct online research on health. E-health literacy was higher in those earning above the minimum wage. Health and death anxiety was low in men and in those who did not conduct online health-related research. Health anxiety was positively correlated with cyberchondria and death anxiety and negatively correlated with e-health literacy. There was a positive relationship between cyberchondria and E-health literacy and death anxiety. This study highlights the complex relationship between eHealth literacy, health anxiety, cyberchondria and death anxiety. It shows that low e-health literacy can increase health anxiety, which in turn can worsen cyberchondria and death anxiety. By emphasising the importance of e-health literacy in health education, the findings may help students manage their anxiety, make informed health decisions, and increase their professional competence.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare (JMDH) aims to represent and publish research in healthcare areas delivered by practitioners of different disciplines. This includes studies and reviews conducted by multidisciplinary teams as well as research which evaluates or reports the results or conduct of such teams or healthcare processes in general. The journal covers a very wide range of areas and we welcome submissions from practitioners at all levels and from all over the world. Good healthcare is not bounded by person, place or time and the journal aims to reflect this. The JMDH is published as an open-access journal to allow this wide range of practical, patient relevant research to be immediately available to practitioners who can access and use it immediately upon publication.
