Key Words Digital health literacy; Preventive health service utilization; Mental health; Hospital staff; Mediating effect; Retrospective cohort study
Core Tip This retrospective cohort study investigated the relationships among preventive health service utilization (PHSU), digital health literacy (DHL), and mental health in 688 hospital employees. Data analysis, including correlation and regression methods, revealed a significant association between higher levels of DHL and better mental health. Crucially, DHL was identified as a key mediating variable in this relationship. The findings indicate that while PHSU directly promotes employee mental health, its positive effects are also indirectly enhanced through improved DHL.
