Seeking Behavior

BACKGROUND Amid to the COVID-19 pandemic, digital health literacy (DHL) has become a significant public health concern. OBJECTIVE This research aims to assess information seeking behavior, as well as the ability to find relevant information and deal with DHL among university students in Pakistan. METHODS An online-based cross-sectional survey, using a web-based interviewing technique, was conducted to collect data on DHL. Simple bivariate and multivariate linear regression was performed to assess the association of key characteristics with DHL. RESULTS The results show a high DHL related to COVID-19 in 54.3% of students. Most of the Pakistani students demonstrated ~50% DHL in all dimensions, except of reliability. Multivariate findings showed that gender, sense of coherence and importance of information were found to be significantly associated with DHL. However, a negative association was observed with students’ satisfaction with information. CONCLUSIONS This led to the conclusion that critical operational and navigations skills are essential to achieve COVID-19 DHL and cope with stress, particularly to promote both personal and community health. Focused interventions and strategies should be designed to enhance DHL amongst university students to combat the pandemic.

The purpose of this study is to observe: (1) Gender difference in mental health literacy of Yogyakarta State University students and (2) Differences in mental health literacy of Yogyakarta State University students based on vignette character’s gender. The type of this study was factorial survey. In this study, respondents were presented with short descriptions called vignette that were constructed and contained elements that had been manipulated by the researcher to control certain variables, namely gender and mental disorders that the characters had. Then, subjects were asked to answer closed questions (Mental Health Literacy Test) based on the vignettes. The subjects in this study were 377 undergraduate students from Yogyakarta State University. The sampling techniques used in this study were cluster random sampling and incidental sampling. Chi-Square was performed to analyze the data. The results of this study indicated that: (1) There were gender differences in mental health literacy aspect positive attitudes toward professional help where more male respondents did not recommend seeking professional help for depression (2) There were differences in mental health literacy aspects knowledge about the causes of mental disorders and positive attitudes towards professional help based on gender vignette characters for depression.

Abstract Background: Comprehensive tool is not available to assess health literacy status across different languages, contexts and population structures except European health literacy survey scale (HLS-EU-Q47) which is widely used adapted and tested in different countries and languages. However, it was not tested for Ethiopian populations. This study aim was to validate and test the reliability of the Amharic version of the HLS-EU-Q47 survey questionnaire (HLS-Amh) among school adolescents and university students in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia. Method: A cross-sectional study with multistage random sampling was done on urban school adolescents and university students from public schools and Dire Dawa University in Dire Dawa city, Ethiopia, Africa. After translating HLS‐EU‐Q47 into Amharic by translation and back- translation, data was collected using a self-reported questionnaire from samples of 744 participants with 9% non-response rate in October and November, 2018. Confirmatory factor analysis and correlation analysis was done using SPSS and AMOS. Goodness of fit indices, item-scale convergent validity, Pearson correlation coefficient, floor and ceiling effects, Cronbach's alpha and split-half spearman-brown coefficient was computed taking the cut-off values from guidelines and literatures. Ethical issue was contemplated and informed consent was obtained from institutions and participants. Result: Amharic version of HLS- EU-Q47, (HLS-Amh) was reliable but weak for its validity to measure health literacy among urban school adolescents and university students in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia. Goodness-of-fit indices (GFI, AGFI, CFI and IFI) were within range of 0.90-0.80. Although, RMSEA indices were less 0.10, others have made it insufficient to be said as a good model-data fit and was not tolerable for its validity, and the model lacked strength to meet the model-fit indices satisfaction with higher apparent floor/ceiling effects. However, it showed high levels of internal consistency of reliability with relatively higher Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (α=0.910). Conclusions: HLS-Amh was reliable but weak for its validity on these population groups. It can be used for a general survey on awareness and knowledge other than screening substantial and clinical related inquiries. It needs further adaptation and validation for comprehensiveness for demographic, multi-lingual and cultural contexts in Ethiopia.
