Year 2022, Issue: 35, 126 - 136, 29.05.2022

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı; en az bir kronik hastalığı bulunan bireylerin e-sağlık okuryazarlık düzeylerinin incelenmesidir. Bunun yanında internette sağlıkla ilgili bilgilere ulaşma sıklığının, hangi mecraların kullanıldığının incelenmesi ve çeşitli demografik değişkenler açısından farklılığın olup olmadığının tespit edilmesidir. Kolayda örnekleme yoluyla Isparta il merkezinde yaşayan ve kronik hastalığı bulunan 405 bireye ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplamak için anket tekniği kullanılmıştır. Ankette e-sağlık okuryazarlığı ölçeği ve demografik bilginin toplanmasına yönelik sorular yer almaktadır. E-sağlık okuryazarlık ortalamasının 3,70 olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların cinsiyet, yaş ve medeni durumu grupları bağlamında e-sağlık okuryazarlık ortalamasında anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilmemiştir. Öte yandan eğitim düzeyi, gelir durumu, internetteki sağlık kaynaklarına erişebilmenin önem derecesi ve sağlık hakkında karar vermede internetin yararlılık düzeylerinin grupları bağlamında anlamlı farklıklar tespit edilmiştir. Kronik hastaların eğitim düzeyleri ve gelir durumları yükseldikçe e-sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyleri daha da yükselmektedir. Ayrıca e-sağlık okuryazarlığın gelişmesinde sağlıkla ilgili bilgi kaynaklarına internetten erişmenin önemli ve yararlı olduğu söylenebilir.

A RESEARCH ON E-HEALTH LITERACY LEVELS OF CHRONIC PATIENTS

Year 2022, Issue: 35, 126 - 136, 29.05.2022

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the e-health literacy levels of individuals with at least one chronic disease. In addition, it is to examine the frequency of accessing health-related information on the Internet, which channels are used, and to determine whether there is a difference in terms of various demographic variables.By using convenience sampling, 405 individuals living in the city center of Isparta and having chronic diseases have been reached. Questionnaire technique has been used to collect data in the study. The questionnaire includes questions about the e-health literacy scale and demographic information. It has been determined that the average of e-health literacy is 3.70. No significant difference has been found in the mean e-health literacy in the context of the gender, age and marital status groups of the participants. On the other hand, significant differences have been determined in terms of education level, income status, the importance of accessing health resources on the internet and the level of usefulness of the internet in making decisions about health. As the education levels and income levels of chronic patients increase, so do their e-health literacy levels. In addition, it can be said that accessing health-related information resources from the internet is important and beneficial in the development of e-health literacy.
