Article Abstract
Aims: To examine the factorial validity of the eHealth Literacy Scale among hospital nurses and to investigate the associations of its components with health-promoting behaviours and nursing performance quality.
Design: This cross-sectional study used survey data of 484 Korean hospital nurses, which were collected between March-May 2016.
Methods: The three-factor structure was tested using confirmatory factor analyses. Multiple linear regression was conducted to test associations of the three components' scores with health-promoting behaviours and self-rated nursing performance quality.
Results: The eHealth Literacy Scale supported a three-factor structure: awareness of internet health resources (awareness), having skills needed to access resources (skills), and the ability to evaluate the quality of internet health resources (evaluation). All the three components were significantly associated with higher quality of nursing performance and better interpersonal relations. Stress management, spiritual growth, and health responsibility were linked with evaluation or skills but physical activity and nutrition were not.
Conclusion: Strategies to enhance eHealth literacy among nurses could improve nurses' health and further patient care. Training to build nurses' self-efficacy to evaluate internet health information could improve eHealth literacy and should be developed and examined.
Impact: To improve nurses' health and patient care, training programs to build nurses' self-efficacy to access and evaluate internet health information should be developed.

Objectives: Urinary calculi are characterized by a high recurrence rate, and patients' adherence to self-management after discharge directly affects health outcomes. Traditional offline follow-up models often face problems such as poor compliance and uneven allocation of medical resources, making it difficult to meet individualized health management needs. Remote follow-up provides a novel solution to optimize long-term management, improve health literacy, and enhance clinical outcomes.

Introduction: Digital health literacy (DHL), also known as eHealth literacy, refers to an individual's ability to locate, understand, evaluate, and apply health information from electronic sources to make informed health decisions. This skill is increasingly regarded as essential for navigating the modern healthcare landscape, promoting health equity, and improving health outcomes.

Background: Health care continues to advance through digital innovation, and technology-enabled processes and interventions are increasingly being introduced to deliver and expand access to care. In this evolving digital health ecosystem, health care professionals (HCPs), learners, and organizations may not be prepared or equipped with the knowledge, skills, and behaviors required to navigate these new digital tools while simultaneously sustaining and integrating compassionate care. Moreover, the tools may not be designed and implemented in a manner that facilitates digital compassion.

Background: Tailoring intervention content, such as those designed to improve physical activity (PA) behavior, can enhance effectiveness. Previous Bayesian network research showed that it might be relevant to tailor PA interventions based on demographic factors such as gender, revealing differences in determinants' roles between subpopulations. In order to optimize tailoring, one needs to understand the differences between subpopulations based on different characteristics.
