Abstract

Objective: to investigate factors associated with digital health literacy, hand hygiene knowledge and behavior among Brazilian adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Method: cross-sectional study with 473 adolescents aged 15 to 19. Data were collected virtually between June and August 2021 through a questionnaire on sociodemographic characteristics, digital health literacy, knowledge and behavior regarding hand hygiene. Variables were adjusted using multiple linear regression models with normal response.

Results: the average digital health literacy score was 29.89 ±5.30; for hand hygiene knowledge and behavior was 13.1 ±1.5 and 11.1±2.7, respectively. Higher knowledge and behavior scores for hand hygiene were associated with having completed high school, compared to those attending college, among those who attend health courses, seek information about the pandemic and in scientific articles. Higher digital health literacy scores in adolescents who did not wear masks when playing sports (p= 0.017). There was an association between digital health literacy and knowledge (p = 0.000) and behavior (p = 0.000) regarding hand hygiene.

Conclusion: there is an association between higher digital health literacy scores and hand hygiene knowledge and behavior.

COVID-19大流行期间青少年手部卫生的数字保健知识、行为和知识。

目的：调查在 COVID-19 大流行期间，与巴西青少年的数字健康知识、手部卫生知识和行为相关的因素。数据是在 2021 年 6 月至 8 月期间通过问卷调查收集的，内容涉及社会人口学特征、数字健康知识、手部卫生知识和行为。结果显示：数字健康素养的平均得分为（29.89 ± 5.30）；手卫生知识和行为的平均得分为（13.1 ± 1.5）和（11.1 ± 2.7）。手卫生知识和行为得分较高与高中毕业、上过大学、参加过卫生课程、寻求过大流行病信息和科学文章有关。运动时不戴口罩的青少年的数字健康知识得分更高（p= 0.017）。结论：较高的数字健康素养得分与手部卫生知识和行为之间存在关联。
