Abstract

Background : The telemanagement model in chronic diseases needs older patients to have a certain level of e-Health literacy. According to Electronic Health Literacy model, factors associated with the e-Health literacy among older patients could be comprehensively investigated from individual, situational, and environmental aspects. Objectives: To investigate the e-Health literacy levels among older patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and explore associated factors. Methods : A cross-sectional study was conducted among older patients with COPD. The e-Health Literacy Scale was used to measure individuals' e-Health literacy. The multiple linear regression was applied to identify factors associated with e-Health literacy. Results : A total of 230 responses were included in the final analysis. The average score of e-Health literacy for older COPD patients was 24.66 (6.86). After adjusting the model, the results of multiple linear regression demonstrated that aging attitudes ( B = 0.067, p < 0.001), technophobia ( B = − 0.285, p < 0.001), and self-efficacy ( B = 0.431, p < 0.001) accounted for 68.3% ( p < 0.001) of the total variation in e-Health literacy. Conclusion : This study identifies significant correlations of technophobia, aging attitudes, and self-efficacy, respectively, with e-Health literacy, and self-efficacy and technophobia may be constant predictive factors of e-Health literacy. In the future, intervention research on e-Health literacy should be conducted from a social psychology perspective, with particular emphasis on addressing negative aging attitudes and technophobia. That will promote the tele-management model of chronic diseases. Trial Registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR): ChiCTR1900028563; http://apps.who.int/trialsearch/default.aspx.
