Abstract：
Mobile application (app), with its expansive reservoir of data and content, harbors considerable promise in advancing health outcomes at both the individual and population levels. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of scholars that concretely examine the dynamics of health information acquisition within mobile app. This research presents a conceptual model aimed at investigating the potential ramifications of health information acquisition on both individuals\' psychological and physical well-being. Concurrently, this research attempts to illuminate the underlying mechanisms behind these correlations through evaluating the mediating role of bonding and bridging social capital. The obtained results of a web-based survey conducted among 656 college students in mainland China suggest a positive association between health information acquisition and bonding and bridging social capital. Moreover, the study reveals that the impact of health information acquisition via mobile applications on psychological and physical well-being is significantly mediated by college students\' bonding and bridging social capital. The cultivation of bonding social capital could exert a direct and positive influence on college students\' physical well-being. However, there appears to be no discernible correlation between bridging social capital and physical well-being. Taken collectively, these findings not only complement extant theoretical perspectives within the scholarship concerning mobile app usage for health improvement, but also furnish several pragmatic guidelines for healthcare professionals and mobile app designers.
摘要：
移动应用(app),凭借其庞大的数据和内容库，在促进个人和人口层面的健康结果方面拥有相当大的希望。然而，很少有学者具体研究移动应用程序中健康信息获取的动态。这项研究提出了一个概念模型，旨在调查健康信息获取对个体心理和身体健康的潜在影响。同时,这项研究试图通过评估联结和桥接社会资本的中介作用来阐明这些相关性背后的潜在机制。在中国大陆656名大学生中进行的基于网络的调查所获得的结果表明，健康信息获取与结合和桥接社会资本之间存在正相关关系。此外，研究表明，通过移动应用程序获取健康信息对心理健康和身体健康的影响是由大学生的结合和桥接社会资本显著介导的。结合力社会资本的培养对大学生的身体健康有直接的积极影响。然而,桥接社会资本和身体健康之间似乎没有明显的相关性。集体采取，这些发现不仅补充了关于使用移动应用程序改善健康的奖学金中现存的理论观点，而且还为医疗保健专业人员和移动应用程序设计师提供了一些务实的指南。
