Abstract

Abstract

Objective To understand the level of electronic-health(e-health)literacy and safe sexual behaviors among migrant workers, and to analyze the impact of e-health literacy on condom negotiation efficacy, so as to provide a basis for further interventions to promote the sexual health of migrant workers. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted. The migrant workers' demographic characteristics, e-health literacy and condom negotiation efficacy were measured. In addition, Linear regression models were used to analyze the related factors that affect condom negotiation efficacy. Results The e-health literacy among migrant industrial workers was at the middle level(score=3.01±0.92), but there were significant differences by their gender, age, education, and income(all P < 0.05). Higher-educated (β=0.210, P < 0.001), higher-income (β=0.155, P < 0.001) and male (β=-0.136, P < 0.05) migrant workers had higher e-health literacy. In addition, migrant workers differed in their efficacy of using comdoms (β=0.035, P < 0.001), communicating (β=0.402, P < 0.001), and refusing sex (β=0.278, P < 0.001), which correlated positively with their e-health literacy. The higher the e-health literacy, the stronger the condom negotiation efficacy. Conclusion The improved e-health literacy of migrant workers has a positive effect on migrant workers' ability to negotiate condoms effectively. Improving e-health literacy of migrant workers should be considered for future sexual behavior promotion projects, in order to achieve a broader meaning of AIDS prevention and treatment.
