Moderation modelling of COVID-19 digital health literacy and sense of coherence across subjective social class and age among university students in Ghana

Résumé

BACKGROUND: The study assessed the moderation modelling of digital health literacy and sense of coherence across subjective social class and age among university students in Ghana during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A total of 1160 students were conveniently sampled from two universities namely, the University of Education, Winneba and University of Cape Coast, using the descriptive cross-sectional survey design. Preliminary analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, whilst multivariate multiple regression and moderation analyses (Haye's Model) were employed to analyze the main data. RESULTS: The study revealed that COVID-19 digital health literacy is directly and positively associated with sense of coherence among university students. Further, higher subjective social class positively and strongly moderated the relationship between COVID-19 digital health literacy and sense of coherence among university students. Additionally, the relationship between COVID-19 digital health literacy and sense of coherence was indirectly prominent among relatively older university students than younger ones. CONCLUSIONS: The findings have implications for university management/authorities and public health agencies to organize effective orientation and self-management training programmes for university students.
