Abstract:
Objective:A scoping review of factors influencing eHealth literacy in older adults to inform future research and clinical practice.Methods:Accordance with the scope review methodological framework, research questions were established, and PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases were systematically searched for the timeframe of the search from the time the database was constructed to November 24, 2023.Results:A total of 29 articles were included in the literature, which met the criteria of inclusion exclusion. The main factors influencing eHealth literacy among older adults included sociodemographic factors, disease-related factors, Internet use characteristics, psychosocial factors, healthy aging, and perceived health risks.Conclusions:eHealth literacy in older adults is affected by many complex factors.
