The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between post characteristics, health literacy characteristics and user responses of Facebook posts by governmental and nongovernmental health organizations in Taiwan. A quantitative content analysis was adopted. A total of 3,305 posts published between December 2020 and November 2021 were collected from the Facebook pages of two governmental health organizations and four non-governmental health organizations. A sample of 600 posts was randomly selected using a proportional sampling method. The analysis variables included basic characteristics, content attributes, and health literacy characteristics. User responses were measured by the numbers of likes, shares, and comments. Non-parametric statistical methods were employed for statistical testing. Posts with pictures or content related to health education received a higher level of likes and shares. On the other hand, posts with videos, links, hashtags, or content related to organizational promotion tended to receive fewer user responses. The higher the level of health literacy characteristics of the post text and pictures, the higher the ordinal positions of numbers of likes, shares, and comments were received. Posts that fully corresponded to health literacy indicators received more user responses than those that partially corresponded to. When health organizations manage social media, designing posts that compliance with health literacy principles will help increase user responses. |
