“…This could be because the nurses had a relatively high educational level and consistent access to health information while working at the hospital. Although the total mean score was higher than in previous studies, the nurses also showed a similar pattern in item means with previous studies (Kim & Son, ; Park & Lee, , ). Previous studies indicated that their participants were proficient in searching and using the information they found (e.g.…”

“…Lee, Byoun, & Lim () examined the relations between eHealth literacy and communication of patients and doctors. Park and Lee (, ) assessed eHealth literacy of nursing students, and Kim and Son () examined relationships between eHealth literacy and health‐related behaviours among a young general population. Therefore, research evaluating the relationships between eHealth literacy and health‐promoting behaviours among hospital nurses was not available.…”

“…Nurses' health-promoting behaviours have a positive impact on quality of care; however, a previous study reported that the level of nurses' health-promoting behaviours was lower than that of the general population (Park & Lee, 2015a, 2015b. This is likely because many of the nurses had non-standard work schedules, such as shift work and weekend work (Han, Trinkoff, Storr, & Geiger-Brown, 2011), high workload, low staffing levels and short breaks (Faugier, Lancaster, Pickles, & Dobson, 2001).…”

“…Within that literature, studies have shown that college students possess functional and interactive health literacy and seem to underperform when it comes to the higher level of critical health literacy. Relevant studies have shown that college students are confident that they are able to find, read, and understand online health information [3,12]. However, a high proportion of these students are less assured in their ability to discriminate between high and low-quality health resources…”

Background: The world's Internet penetration rate is increasing yearly; approximately 25% of the world's population are Internet users. In Asia, Taiwan has the fifth highest Internet usage and has an Internet penetration rate higher than the world average. eHealth literacy is the ability to read, understand, and utilize online health information. eHealth literacy is gaining attention worldwide.Objectives: This study uses "age" as a background variable, comparing the differences in eHealth literacy among college students and senior university students.To examine this issue further, this study also summarizes the college students' and senior university students' online health information experiences and performances.This study aims to explore the difference between eHealth literacy rates among college students and senior university students. It examined the differences in eHealth literacy among the senior university student (over age 55) and college students to gain an in-depth understanding of the differences that exist across age groups.Methods: A mixed method approach was used, including questionnaire surveys.College students (aged 18-22) and senior university students (aged 55-72) were investigated. A total of 208 respondents-65 (31.25%) college students and 143 (68.75%) senior university students-were interviewed.Results: There were significant differences in the overall eHealth literacy scores (t 207 = 2.98; P < .01) and the functional eHealth literacy dimension (t 207 = 12.17; P < .001).The findings showed gaps in eHealth literacy among the two groups . Most study participants believed that most online health information could be read and understood; however, they were doubtful when evaluating information quality. and noted that it was divided into subjective judgments and objective standards. College students preferred aesthetically pleasing health information, while senior university students focused on its promotion. Furthermore, the former often used websites for solving health problems, while the latter forwarded health information through communication software.Keywords: EHealth literacy, Generation gap, College students, Senior university students, Mixed methods IntroductionThe Internet usage rate has generally increased, and the issue of eHealth literacy has become apparent eHealth literacy is gaining an increasing amount of attention worldwide. Individuals 2 with eHealth literacy have better health capital and can further promote the overall health and competitiveness of the country. In 2017, the Taiwan Broadband Internet Usage Survey reported that 3,153 valid sample analysis results showed that individuals were used to having an Internet access rate of over 83%, of whom 84.7%agreed that "the use of the Internet has improved the quality of your life." However, 55.9% disagreed that "the use of the Internet can increase your trust in information"[1]. Thus, even if individuals possessed little knowledge of eHealth information, it was still possible for them to take appropriate action. Diffe...

Purpose As Internet technology evolves, electronic health (e-health) literacy gradually becomes a key factor in healthy behaviors and health-related decision-making. However, little is known about the influencing factors of e-health literacy among cancer survivors. Thus, the objective of this study was to systematically review the status quo, assessment tools, and influencing factors of e-health literacy in cancer patients. Methods We conducted a comprehensive search in several databases, including PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycInfo, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, Chinese BioMedical Literature Database, and Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database between January 2000 and December 2021. Results A total of nine articles were included in this review, all of which were cross-sectional studies. Following the JBI critical appraisal tool, seven of them were rated as high quality. The e-Health Literacy Scale (eHEALS) was the most commonly used measurement for e-health literacy in cancer patients. The level of e-health literacy in cancer survivors was not high, which was associated with a variable of factors. The behavioral model of health services use was adopted to summarize related influencing factors. From an individual’s perspective, predisposing characteristics and enabling resources were the most significant factors, without factors related to needs characteristics. Conclusion The study has identified the influencing factors of e-health literacy among cancer survivors, including age, gender, domicile place, education level, information-seeking behavior, and social support. In the future, e-health literacy lectures need to be carried out for elderly cancer patients, especially those who live in rural areas and have no access to the Internet. Families and friends of cancer survivors should also be encouraged to offer them more support. Implications for Cancer Survivors These findings of this review provide novel insights for both family members and medical workers to improve e-health literacy in cancer patients. Further research is required to develop easy-to-use electronic health information acquisition devices and establish propagable e-health literacy intervention programs for cancer survivors.
