To explore the relationship between eHealth literacy and attitudes towards internet/computer (I/C) technology use in healthcare.
Analysis of data from 16 cross-sectional studies, involving literature search from databases like PubMed, EBSCO, JMIR, up to April 2023. Studies were selected based on a quantitative cross-sectional design, with no restrictions on participant characteristics.
A significant positive correlation (0.36; 95% CI 0.37-0.38, p < 0.05) was found between eHealth literacy and positive attitudes towards I/C technology use. Age and regional differences, especially in participants over 50 and from Asian and Middle Eastern countries, were notable.
Lower eHealth literacy is associated with more negative attitudes towards I/C technology in healthcare. This trend is consistent across diverse demographics and regions.
探讨电子健康素养与对医疗保健中互联网/计算机(I/C)技术使用的态度之间的关系。
对截至 2023 年 4 月从 PubMed、EBSCO、JMIR 等数据库中进行文献检索的 16 项横断面研究的数据进行分析。研究的选择基于定量横断面设计,对参与者特征没有任何限制。
电子健康素养与对 I/C 技术使用的积极态度之间存在显著正相关(0.36;95%CI 0.37-0.38,p<0.05)。年龄和地区差异,特别是在 50 岁以上和来自亚洲和中东国家的参与者中,是显著的。
较低的电子健康素养与对医疗保健中 I/C 技术更消极的态度相关。这种趋势在不同的人口统计学和地区都是一致的。
