Abstract

Introduction: Electronic health literacy is a combination of skills in terms of health, information, science, computer, and internet. Improving Students’ scientific and practical abilities and promoting their academic achievement require good General Health. Objective: The present study aimed at assessing the relationship between E-Health Literacy and General Health of Students of Aja University of Medical Sciences in 2018. Material and Methods: The present cross sectional, descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 305 Students of Aja University of Medical Sciences in 2018 enrolled with convenience sampling. Data collection tools included demographic questionnaire, E-Health Literacy scale (e-Heals), and General Health questionnaire (GHQ-28). The relationship between variables was assessed using Spearman correlation test, and groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney U and the Kruskal-Wallis tests. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23 and P <0. 05 was considered significant. Results: A total of 305 questionnaires were analyzed. Students’ mean score of E-Health Literacy was 28. 15± 5. 9, and that of General Health was 27. 24± 16. 67. According to GHQ-28, a lower score indicates better General Health; a significant and inverse correlation was observed between Students’ E-Health Literacy and General Health (r=-0. 139, P=0. 015). E-Health Literacy had no significant relationship with the subscales of physical status, anxiety, insomnia, and social dysfunction, but it had a significant and inverse relationship with the subscale of depression (r=-0. 198, P=0. 001). Discussion and Conclusion: Better General Health was associated with higher E-Health Literacy. This relationship affects General Health improvement and it seems that taking measures to promote E-Health Literacy improves General Health in Students. Further studies are recommended to examine how these factors affect one another.
