COVID-19 is a new disease in human life and has become pandemic. Pandemic Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) has been speeding up digital transformation in every sector. Implementation of digital technology in health should be supported by the community's readiness, such as digital health literacy to achieve the goals, optimize health service performance, and blockage infodemics and miss information. Implementation of digital technology in health should be supported by the community's readiness, such as digital health literacy to achieve the goals, optimize health service performance, and blockage infodemics and miss information. This study aims to develop a tool to measure digital health literacy in the community through three stages such as expert review, pre-test and field test. DHLC adopted the five competencies areas into 18 questions and put eight questions related to health literacy; the total items question of DHLC are 26 items questions. This study reveals that all of the score digital competencies areas below 4. Score 4 in DHLC indicates that the community still need guidance to doing activity in the digital environment. Elevating digital health literacy in the citizens is urgent to control the spreading misinformation and disinformation that could worsen pandemics. Future studies need to conduct to test the validity and reliability of DHLC in various settings.
COVID-19是人类生活中的一种新疾病，已成为大流行病。大流行冠状病毒病（COVID-19）一直在加速各个部门的数字化转型。卫生领域数字技术的实施应得到社区准备情况的支持，例如数字健康素养，以实现目标、优化卫生服务绩效，并阻止信息疫情和错误信息。卫生领域数字技术的实施应得到社区准备情况的支持，例如数字健康素养，以实现目标、优化卫生服务绩效，并阻止信息疫情和错误信息。本研究旨在通过专家评审、预测试和现场测试三个阶段开发一种工具，以测量社区中的数字健康素养。数字健康素养问卷（DHLC）将五个能力领域纳入18个问题，并设置了八个与健康素养相关的问题；DHLC的总项目问题为26个项目问题。本研究表明，所有数字能力领域的得分均低于4分。DHLC中得4分表明社区在数字环境中开展活动仍需要指导。提高公民的数字健康素养对于控制可能使大流行恶化的错误信息和虚假信息的传播至关重要。未来的研究需要在各种环境中测试DHLC的有效性和可靠性。
