This study aimed to investigate the factors that contribute to urban-rural differences in eHealth literacy among Chinese nursing students and measure their respective contributions. A multisite cross-sectional study. In China. A total of 967 nursing students were involved in this study. Multivariate linear regression models were used to explore the associations between sociodemographic and health-related factors and the eHealth literacy of Chinese nursing students. Additionally, Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition was employed to scrutinize the factors attributing to the urban-rural differences in eHealth literacy among Chinese nursing students, elucidating their respective contributions. The mean eHealth literacy score for urban nursing students (mean: 20.26, SD: 3.61) exceeded that of rural nursing students (mean: 19.53, SD: 3.56) (p < 0.001). Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition analysis indicated that 84.82 % of the urban-rural differences in eHealth literacy among nursing students can be explained. The urban-rural differences are primarily explained by family health (40.05 %). The study emphasizes the importance of tailoring educational curricula to address urban-rural differences in eHealth literacy among nursing students in China. Specifically, incorporating content related to family health in educational programs is crucial. • Urban nursing students scored higher in eHealth literacy than rural peers. • Interventions are needed to address urban-rural eHealth literacy gaps. • Integrating family health is proposed to enhance eHealth literacy.
