Description
Summary:Objective. To assess the factors influencing the self-care behavior among nursing students with dysmenorrhea. Background. The practice of self-care behavior for dysmenorrhea has gradually attracted immense attention from society; however, thus far, only a few studies have been conducted to predict this behavior and analyze the associated factors by creating a structural equation model. Methods. A cross-sectional multistage cluster sampling study was conducted among nursing students within six universities in Shaanxi province, China. A model was constructed, and structured questionnaires were adopted to measure model variables, including e-health literacy, negative emotion, self-efficacy, self-care agency, degree of dysmenorrhea, and self-care behavior for dysmenorrhea. Descriptive data analysis was performed using SPSS 23.0 software, and AMOS 23.0 was used to verify and analyze the structural model. Results. In total, 1851 valid questionnaires were collected; the effective recovery rate was 93.15%, and the prevalence of dysmenorrhea was 64.51%. e-Health literacy (B = 0.171, P
