背景:残疾大学生需要从以儿科为中心的护理过渡到成人护理。然而,他们可能会被多重责任淹没,如学术活动,同伴关系,职业准备,求职,独立生活,以及管理他们的健康和促进健康的行为。
目的:随着使用智能手机和可穿戴设备收集个人健康数据变得越来越流行,本研究旨在比较残疾大学生和残疾大学生自我跟踪健康实践的特点。此外,这项研究检查了残疾状况之间的关系,自我跟踪健康实践,电子健康素养,和大学生的主观幸福感。
方法:基于网络的问卷是使用Qualtrics进行横断面在线调查设计的。调查数据收集于2023年2月至2023年4月,包括702名参与者的回复。
结果:超过80%(563/702,80.2%)的受访者自愿参加了自我跟踪健康实践。残疾大学生(n=83)的电子健康素养和主观幸福感水平明显低于无残疾大学生(n=619)。残疾人组报告使用智能手机健康应用程序和可穿戴设备时,满意度(t411=-5.97,P<.001)和感知效能(t411=-4.85,P<.001)明显较低。最后,研究发现大学生主观幸福感与残疾状况之间存在显著相关性(β=3.81,P<.001),自我跟踪健康实践(β=2.22,P=0.03),和电子健康素养(β=24.29,P<.001)。
结论:考虑到残疾状况之间的显著关系,自我跟踪健康实践,电子健康素养,和大学生的主观幸福感,建议检查他们利用数字技术进行自我护理的能力。在校园环境中提供学习机会以提高电子健康素养和自我跟踪健康策略可能是提高大学生生活质量和福祉的战略方法。
BACKGROUND: College students with disabilities need to transition from pediatric-centered care to adult care. However, they may become overwhelmed by multiple responsibilities, such as academic activities, peer relationships, career preparation, job seeking, independent living, as well as managing their health and promoting healthy behaviors.
OBJECTIVE: As the use of smartphones and wearable devices for collecting personal health data becomes popular, this study aimed to compare the characteristics of self-tracking health practices between college students with disabilities and their counterparts. In addition, this study examined the relationships between disability status, self-tracking health practices, eHealth literacy, and subjective well-being among college students.
METHODS: The web-based questionnaire was designed using Qualtrics for the cross-sectional online survey. The survey data were collected from February 2023 to April 2023 and included responses from 702 participants.
RESULTS: More than 80% (563/702, 80.2%) of the respondents participated voluntarily in self-tracking health practices. College students with disabilities (n=83) showed significantly lower levels of eHealth literacy and subjective well-being compared with college students without disabilities (n=619). The group with disabilities reported significantly lower satisfaction (t411=-5.97, P<.001) and perceived efficacy (t411=-4.85, P<.001) when using smartphone health apps and wearable devices. Finally, the study identified a significant correlation between subjective well-being in college students and disability status (β=3.81, P<.001), self-tracking health practices (β=2.22, P=.03), and eHealth literacy (β=24.29, P<.001).
CONCLUSIONS: Given the significant relationships among disability status, self-tracking health practices, eHealth literacy, and subjective well-being in college students, it is recommended to examine their ability to leverage digital technology for self-care. Offering learning opportunities to enhance eHealth literacy and self-tracking health strategies within campus environments could be a strategic approach to improve the quality of life and well-being of college students.
