Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the associations between eHealth literacy in adolescents and their levels of perception of control over COVID-19. Method: This descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 303 adolescents who volunteered to participate in the research between April and August 2021. Data were collected online through the Participant Information Form, eHealth Literacy Scale in Adolescents and COVID-19 Control Perception Scale (PCo-COVID-19). Results: The mean age of the participants was 19.36±2.29 years, 76.6% were female, 23.4% were male, and 71.3% were university graduates. The mean score of the eHealth Literacy Scale in Adolescents was 27.49±6.51. The mean total score of the PCo-COVID-19 was 2.85±0.50. There was a positive correlation between adolescents’ eHealth literacy and perception of COVID-19 control (r=0.262, p<0.001). It was found that the ehealth scores of those whose mothers had a university education or higher were higher than those who were illiterate (p< 0.05). The PCo-COVID-19 scores of those who perceived their health condition as good were higher than those who perceived it as medium (p<0.05). Conclusion and Suggestions: The result showed that eHealth literacy is important in increasing adolescents' perception of control of COVID-19. Thus, eHealth literacy should be used in interventions to promote adolescents' perceptions and attitudes regarding COVID-19.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, adölesanlarda e-sağlık okuryazarlığı ile COVID-19’un kontrolü algısı arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı türde planlanan araştırma, Nisan-Ağustos 2021 tarihleri arasında araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan 303 adölesan ile gerçekleştirildi. Veriler, çevrimiçi olarak Katılımcı Bilgi Formu, Adölesanlarda E-Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği ve COVID-19’un Kontrolü Algısı Ölçeği (PCo-COVID-19) ile toplandı. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 19.36±2.29 yıl, %76.6'sı kadın, %23.4'ü erkek ve %71.3'ü üniversite mezunudur. Adölesanlarda E-Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği puan ortalaması 27.49±6.51'dir. PCo-COVID-19'un toplam puan ortalaması 2.85±0.50 olarak belirlendi. Adölesanların E-Sağlık okuryazarlığı ile COVID-19 kontrolü algısı arasında pozitif bir ilişki bulundu (r=0.262, p<0.001). Anne eğitim düzeyi üniversite ve üzeri olanların E-Sağlık okuryazarlığı puanları, okur-yazar olmayanlara göre daha yüksek olduğu bulundu (p< 0.05). Sağlık algısı iyi olanların PCo-COVID-19 puanlarının, sağlık algısı orta düzeyde olanlardan daha yüksek olduğu saptandı (p<0.05) Sonuç ve Öneriler: E-sağlık okuryazarlığının adölesanlarda COVID-19 kontrolü algısını artırmada önemli olduğu görüldü. Bu nedenle, adölesanların COVID-19 pandemisi ile ilgili algı ve tutumları geliştirmeye yönelik yapılacak girişimlerle e-sağlık okuryazarlığı kavramı ele alınmalıdır.
