Objective: This study aimed to examine HL and eHL levels among nursing students across different years of the educational programme and identify distinct subgroups of students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among undergraduate nursing students enrolled in all years of a single Italian university programme. Literacy profiles were assessed using validated questionnaires. A Two-Step Cluster Analysis was applied to identify homogeneous literacy profiles. Group differences were examined using appropriate statistical tests. Results: Four distinct clusters were identified, showing heterogeneous patterns of literacy profiles across the training course. Significant differences emerged in demographic and educational variables across clusters. Conclusions: The findings highlight the coexistence of diverse literacy profiles among nursing students and suggest the need for tailored educational strategies. Due to the cross-sectional design, causal inferences cannot be drawn. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
