Objectives: Although maternal characteristics are important predictors with regard to population-based health promotion, they have not been fully identified in many countries and cultures. This study explores the effects of maternal capacity and health communication behaviors on children¡¯s health statuses in Korea, China and Japan.
Methods: The dataset came from a survey of respondents drawn from a nationally representative online sample of women in East Asia. We conducted computer-assisted web interviews with married women in their 20s-40s holding South Korean, Chinese, or Japanese nationality (n=1580). We designed a cross-sectional study to examine the effects of certain maternal capabilities, in this case self-efficacy, empowerment, and e-health literacy, on the low health status of the participants¡¯ children with health-information-seeking behavior (HISB) as a potential moderator.
Results: The results showed that the likelihood of belonging to the low health status group among children was a mother with low self-efficacy, a mother who was poorly empowered, and a mother who had poor e-health literacy. However, a positive association was found between active HISB by the mother and low health status of the child.
Conclusion: Factors constituting maternity capacity differentially influenced children¡¯s health status according to the social context of East Asian countries.
