The Influence of Digital Literacy, Health Literacy, Depression on Nursing Students' Health Promoting Behavior

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to examine digital literacy, health literacy, depression, and health-promoting behavior among nursing students, and to identify the factors influencing their health-promoting behavior. Method : Data collection occurred from May 27 to June 10, 2024. Nursing students were provided with an explanation of the study and, upon consent, were given a survey URL. A total of 162 responses were analyzed. Using the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program, the general characteristics of the nursing students, digital literacy, health literacy, depression, and health-promoting behavior were analyzed for frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Differences in health-promoting behavior according to general characteristics were analyzed using independent t-tests and ANOVA, followed by post-hoc analysis with the Scheffe test. Relationships among digital literacy, health literacy, depression, and health-promoting behavior were examined using Pearson's correlation coefficients. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to identify factors influencing health-promoting behavior. Results : Factors influencing health-promoting behavior included academic year dummy variable b (β＝.14, p ＜.001), subjective health status dummy variable b (β＝.51, p＜.001), subjective health status dummy variable c (β＝.16, p＝.003), health literacy (β＝.55, p＜.001), and depression (β＝-.20, p＝.003). Conclusion : The explanatory power of these factors was 54.6% (F＝25.16, p＜.001). To enhance the health-promoting behavior of nursing students, it is necessary to increase their awareness of subjective health, improve their ability to discern and understand health information, and consider their emotional state through tailored education programs.
