摘要
背景:数字健康素养是指利用信息和通信技术来支持健康和卫生保健。在COVID-19等大流行期间,随着个人继续从各种基于网络的来源(特别是社交媒体)寻求医疗建议,数字健康素养变得越来越重要。目的:本研究旨在评估2021年埃塞俄比亚西南部卫生专业人员的数字健康素养水平及其相关因素。方法:于2021年1月至4月在埃塞俄比亚进行了一项基于机构的横断面研究。采用简单随机抽样方法,在卫生专业人员中抽取423名研究对象。采用SPSS (version 20)软件进行数据录入和分析。使用预先测试的自我管理问卷收集所需数据。采用多变量logistic回归检验数字健康素养技能与相关因素之间的关系。结果:共有401名研究对象参与了本研究。总体而言,43.6% (n=176)的受访者具有较高的数字健康素养技能。较高的计算机素养(调整优势比[AOR] 4.43, 95% CI 2.34-5.67;P = . 01);硕士及以上学历(AOR 3.42, 95% CI 2.31-4.90;P = .02点);互联网使用(AOR 4.00, 95% CI 1.78-4.02;P = . 03);感知易用性(AOR 2.65, 95% CI 1.35-4.65;P = .04点);月收入>15,000埃塞俄比亚比尔(> 283.68美元);Aor 7.55, 95% ci 6.43-9.44;结论:总体而言,只有不到一半的研究参与者具有较高的数字健康素养水平。高计算机素养,硕士及以上学位,经常使用互联网,感知易用性,收入>15,000埃塞俄比亚比尔(> 283.68美元),良好的数字健康素养知识,良好的态度和感知有用性是研究中最重要的决定因素。拥有较高的计算机素养、经常使用互联网、感知易用性、感知有用性、良好的态度和较高的教育水平将有助于促进高水平的数字健康素养。
Digital Health Literacy During the COVID-19 Pandemic Among Health Care Providers in Resource-Limited Settings: Cross-sectional Study.
Background: Digital health literacy is the use of information and communication technology to support health and health care. Digital health literacy is becoming increasingly important as individuals continue to seek medical advice from various web-based sources, especially social media, during the pandemics such as COVID-19.
Objective: The study aimed to assess health professionals' digital health literacy level and associated factors in Southwest Ethiopia in 2021.
Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from January to April 2021 in Ethiopia. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 423 study participants among health professionals. SPSS (version 20) software was used for data entry and analysis. A pretested self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the required data. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the association between the digital health literacy skill and associated factors. Significance value was obtained at 95% CI and P<.05.
Results: In total, 401 study subjects participated in the study. Overall, 43.6% (n=176) of respondents had high digital health literacy skills. High computer literacy (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 4.43, 95% CI 2.34-5.67; P=.01); master's degree and above (AOR 3.42, 95% CI 2.31-4.90; P=.02); internet use (AOR 4.00, 95% CI 1.78-4.02; P=.03); perceived ease of use (AOR 2.65, 95% CI 1.35-4.65; P=.04); monthly income of >15,000 Ethiopian birr (>US $283.68; AOR 7.55, 95% CI 6.43-9.44; P<.001); good knowledge of eHealth (AOR 2.22, 95% CI 1.32-4.03; P=.04); favorable attitudes (AOR 3.11, 95% CI 2.11-4.32; P=.04); and perceived usefulness (AOR 3.43, 95% CI 2.43-5.44; P=.02) were variables associated with eHealth literacy level.
Conclusions: In general, less than half of the study participants had a high digital health literacy level. High computer literacy, master's degree and above, frequent internet use, perceived ease to use, income of >15,000 Ethiopian birr (>US $283.68), good knowledge of digital health literacy, favorable attitude, and perceived usefulness were the most determinant factors in the study. Having high computer literacy, frequent use of internet, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, favorable attitude, and a high level of education will help to promote a high level of digital health literacy.
