eHealth literacy is a critical factor that influences caregivers' well-being. The purpose of this study is to examine the association between eHealth literacy, education, and caregiver burden among Chinese caregivers of older adults with cognitive impairment. Data came from structured interviews with 300 primary family caregiver-care recipient dyads in Wuhan, China. We used logistic regression to examine the association between eHealth literacy, education, and caregiver burden. An interaction effect between eHealth literacy and education on caregiver burden was identified. eHealth literacy was positively associated with caregiver burden among caregivers with less than a high school education, but not among those with a high school education or above. eHealth literacy is salient in the burden experienced by caregivers with low education. eHealth literacy needs to be enhanced with health information verification from health professionals and programs to support caregiving efficacy to realize its positive impact on caregivers' mental health.
电子健康素养是影响照料者健康的一个关键因素。本研究旨在探讨电子健康素养、教育程度与中国认知障碍老年患者主要照顾者负担之间的关系。数据来自于对武汉市 300 对主要家庭照顾者-被照顾者的结构式访谈。我们使用逻辑回归检验了电子健康素养、教育程度与照顾者负担之间的关系。电子健康素养与教育程度对照顾者负担的交互作用显著。电子健康素养与低教育程度照顾者的负担呈正相关,但与高中学历及以上的照顾者的负担无关。电子健康素养在教育程度较低的照顾者的负担中很突出。需要通过健康专业人员和计划来增强电子健康素养,并验证健康信息,以支持照顾者的效能,从而实现其对照顾者心理健康的积极影响。
