This study aims to examine digital media use and eHealth literacy among patients receiving chemotherapy. Digital media has become an important tool for accessing health information, communicating with healthcare providers, and supporting self-management.
This observational study will be conducted with adult patients receiving chemotherapy in an outpatient setting. Data will be collected using a sociodemographic information form and the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS). The findings are expected to contribute to a better understanding of digital media use and digital health literacy levels in chemotherapy patients.
Cancer is a major global health problem, and chemotherapy is one of the most commonly used treatment methods. With the increasing use of digital media, patients frequently access health-related information, communicate with healthcare providers, and engage in self-management. Digital health literacy plays a key role in this process.
This study aims to describe digital media use and eHealth literacy levels among patients receiving chemotherapy. It will also explore the relationship between digital media use and selected patient characteristics.
The study will be conducted as a descriptive, cross-sectional observational study in an outpatient chemotherapy setting. Data will be collected using a sociodemographic information form and the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS).
