Abstract:
Objective:To explore the current status and related factors of eHealth literacy in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients by selecting an appropriate digital eHealth literacy scale.Methods:From February to May 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 310 cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients from the Department of Cardiology and Neurology of two ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Beijing as study subjects. E-Health Literacy Scale (EHLS), the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS), and the Mobile eHealth Literacy Scale (m-eHEALS) were used to survey patients. Correlation analysis, internal consistency analysis, and structural validity analysis were used to select the main scale for the study. Binomial Logistic regression was used to explore the related factors of eHealth literacy in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients.Results:A total of 310 questionnaires were distributed, and 302 were effectively collected, with an effective rate of 97.42%. Among the three scales, the EHLS had good reliability and validity. The EHLS score of 302 patients was (37.73±9.66), with a qualified rate of 13.91% (42/302). Binomial Logistic regression analysis showed that the course of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease ( OR=0.615, 95% CI: 0.465-0.813) and the level of concern for one's own health status ( OR=0.669, 95% CI: 0.478-0.937) were related factors for eHealth literacy in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patient ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The qualification rate of eHealth literacy for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients is relatively low. A short course of disease and a high level of concern for one's own health status are protective factors for eHealth literacy in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients.
