The authors applied an explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis: quantitative data is collected first, followed by qualitative research to explain and assess quantitative findings. In the quantitative research, 47 key employees participated in pre- and post-testing and N-Gain analyses in six domains: basic health communication concepts, audience segmentation, key message design, cultural adaptation, risk communication, and digital/media literacy. In the qualitative research, the participants’ essays were analysed using thematic coding to identify changes in their understanding of the media, power and their professional communication responsibilities. The quantitative data showed a significant improvement in total test scores from pre-test to post-test, with N-Gain figures indicating moderate to high learning gains, particularly in fundamentals and key message formulation. Thematic analysis demonstrated a shift from a transmission-oriented model of communication to critical, participatory and self-reflective models, highlighting the importance of fact-checking, information integrity, and the use of culturally relevant messages. The research emphasizes the potential of health communication training for public-sector professionals in low- and middle-income societies to develop the critical media literacy, thereby providing empirical and pedagogical grounds for enhancing trust, legitimacy, and media literacy education in complex information environments.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье рассмотрены различные аспекты программы обучения, способной повысить навыки критической медиаграмотности специалистов по пропаганде здорового образа жизни, тем самым изменив способы взаимодействия государства с обществом в условиях инфодемии. В исследовании было использовано сочетание методов - последовательный сбор и анализ сначала количественных данных (опрос 47 сотрудников здравоохранения, прошедших предварительное и итоговое тестирование), а затем качественных данных, призванных уточнить и объяснить результаты количественного этапа. К последним был применен N-Gain анализ по шести областям: основные концепции коммуникации в сфере здравоохранения, сегментация аудитории, разработка ключевых сообщений, культурная адаптация, информирование о рисках и цифровая/медийная грамотность. Материалы качественного этапа были проанализированы с помощью тематического кодирования для выявления изменений как в понимании респондентами роли средств массовой информации и государства, так и своих профессиональных обязанностей в сфере коммуникации, необходимых для ведения диалога с разными социальными группами и сообществами. Количественные данные показали значительное улучшение общих результатов тестирования специалистов по пропаганде здорового образа жизни после обучения (средние и высокие показатели усвоения материала, особенно в плане понимания основ формулирования ключевых сообщений). Тематический анализ подтвердил переход респондентов после обучения от модели коммуникации, ориентированной на передачу информации, к критическим, основанным на участии и саморефлексии моделям (осознание и признание важности проверки фактов, целостности информации и использования сообщений, соответствующих культурным особенностям регионального сообщества). Исследование подчеркивает значение обучения специалистов государственного сектора в сфере здравоохранения в странах с низким и средним уровнем дохода для повышения уровня их критической медиаграмотности, поскольку такое обучение выступает фактором повышения социального доверия и институциональной легитимности в сложных информационных средах.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>N-Gain analyses</kwd><kwd>health communication</kwd><kwd>state-society relations</kwd><kwd>public health promotion</kwd><kwd>infodemic</kwd><kwd>digital literacy</kwd><kwd>mixed-methods</kwd><kwd>Indonesia</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>N-Gain анализ</kwd><kwd>коммуникация в сфере здравоохранения</kwd><kwd>отношения между государством и обществом</kwd><kwd>содействие общественному здравоохранению</kwd><kwd>инфодемия</kwd><kwd>цифровая грамотность</kwd><kwd>смешанные методы исследования</kwd><kwd>Индонезия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Afrilyasanti R., Basthomi Y., Zen E.L.
