Abstract：
BACKGROUND: In an increasingly digital age, students rely heavily on web resources to access health information. However, evaluating the reliability and relevance of such information is crucial for informed decision-making. This study examines the importance of students\' health information literacy skills (HILS) as mediators, particularly their ability to utilize web resources and successfully evaluate health information.
OBJECTIVE: This research investigates the mediating role of students\' HILS in the relationship between their utilization of web resources and their proficiency in evaluating health information.
METHODS: An online survey was distributed to current students at a public university in Bangladesh as part of the data collection process for this study. Using Google Forms, the authors created a structured questionnaire. The survey was distributed through Messenger groups, Facebook pages and email invitations to reach the target audience effectively. The researchers thoroughly analysed the gathered data using structural equation modelling (SEM) techniques and SmartPLS-4 software to look for correlations between the variables.
RESULTS: The study revealed that among the 122 participants, a significant number (N = 47) accessed internet health information on an occasional basis, whereas 30 individuals reported using it infrequently. The data revealed that 58 individuals, accounting for 47.5% of the sample, possessed the necessary abilities to access and assess online health information. Additionally, 57 participants, representing 46.7% of the sample, demonstrated proficiency in conducting online health information searches. The measurement model demonstrated good convergent validity, as evidenced by composite reliability (CR) scores and Cronbach\'s ⍺ values over 0.700 and an average extracted variance (AVE) of 0.500. The structural model demonstrated R2 values exceeding 0.1, thus validating its dependable forecasting capability. Notable effects were seen, with f2 values of 0.335 and 0.317 for the challenges in accessing and evaluating health information (CAEHI) to health information evaluation (HIE) and CAEHI to HILS relationships, respectively. The mediation analysis found that HILS act as a mediator between types of web resources (TWRs) and HIE, with TWR having an indirect impact on HIE through HILS.
CONCLUSIONS: The result supports all hypotheses. Therefore, it is evident that students\' HILS mediate the relationship between utilization of web resources and their proficiency in evaluating health information.
CONCLUSIONS: This study\'s findings could significantly impact instructional practices meant to raise students\' health information literacy. This initiative seeks to enable students to make informed decisions about their health by providing them with the necessary tools to analyse and evaluate health-related information.
UNASSIGNED: Research on health information literacy can assist patients and the general public by instructing them on how to assess trustworthy online health resources. Students gave insightful feedback that assisted in shaping the study and guaranteeing its relevancy. If they better comprehend health information literacy, patients and the general public can use web-based resources and critically evaluate health information more accurately.

摘要：
背景：在日益数字化的时代，学生严重依赖网络资源来获取健康信息。然而,评估这些信息的可靠性和相关性对于明智的决策至关重要。本研究考察了学生健康信息素养技能(HILS)作为中介的重要性，特别是他们利用网络资源和成功评估健康信息的能力。
目的：这项研究调查了学生\'HILS在网络资源利用与评估健康信息的能力之间的关系中的中介作用。
方法：将在线调查分发给孟加拉国一所公立大学的当前学生，作为本研究数据收集过程的一部分。使用Google表单，作者创建了一份结构化问卷。该调查是通过Messenger小组分发的，Facebook页面和电子邮件邀请，以有效地达到目标受众。研究人员使用结构方程建模（SEM）技术和SmartPLS-4软件彻底分析了收集到的数据，以寻找变量之间的相关性。
结果：研究显示，在122名参与者中，大量(N=47)偶尔访问互联网健康信息，而30个人报告不经常使用它。数据显示，58个人，占样本的47.5%，具有访问和评估在线健康信息的必要能力。此外,57名与会者占样本的46.7%，表现出在进行在线健康信息搜索方面的熟练程度。测量模型表现出良好的收敛有效性，如复合可靠性（CR）得分和Cronbach的值超过0.700和平均提取方差（AVE）为0.500所证明。结构模型显示R2值超过0.1，从而验证了其可靠的预测能力。看到了显著的效果，f2值为0.335和0.317，用于访问和评估健康信息（CAEHI）到健康信息评估（HIE）以及CAEHI到HILS关系方面的挑战，分别。中介分析发现，HILS充当网络资源类型(TWR)和HIE之间的中介，TWR通过HILS对HIE产生间接影响。
结论：结果支持所有假设。因此,很明显，学生\'HILS调解网络资源的利用和他们在评估健康信息的能力之间的关系。
结论：这项研究的发现可以显著影响旨在提高学生健康信息素养的教学实践。该计划旨在通过为学生提供分析和评估健康相关信息的必要工具，使学生能够做出关于他们健康的明智决定。
■关于健康信息素养的研究可以通过指导患者和公众如何评估值得信赖的在线健康资源来帮助他们。学生们提供了有见地的反馈，有助于塑造研究并保证其相关性。如果他们更好地理解健康信息素养，患者和公众可以使用基于网络的资源，并更准确地批判性地评估健康信息。
