Abstract:
Objective To explore the current status and its influencing factors of electronic health literacy of caregivers of total laryngectomy patients and its influencing factors.Methods A total of 145 caregivers of total laryngectomy patients who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from August 2018 to August 2023 were selected by convenience sampling.A questionnaire survey was conducted on these caregivers by demographic data questionnaire,electronic health literacy scale(e-HLS),and general self-efficacy scale.Results The average total score of electronic health literacy among the caregivers was 25.09±5.31.One-way analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences in the scores of e-HLS among caregivers with different age,education level,self-efficacy,frequency of online health information search,and disease course(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age,education level,self-efficacy,frequency of online health information search,and disease course were the main factors affecting the electronic health literacy of caregivers of total laryngectomy patients.Conclusion Electronic literacy of caregivers of total laryngectomy patients is at a low level,and it was affected by many factors.Appropriate guidance can be provided to caregivers with low electronic health literacy,so as to improve the electronic health literacy of caregivers and the quality of care for total laryngectomy patients.
