Özet:

 Objectives: This study was conducted to examine the electronic health e-health literacy of elderly individuals. Materials and Methods: The study, which used a cross-sectional and descriptive design, was completed with 159 participants who were over the age of 65, used the internet, volunteered to participate and registered in Family Health Centers. The information form created by the researchers and the E-Health Literacy Scale were used as data collection tools. Results: It was found that men had significantly higher e-health literacy than women b- 2.200; p0.044, that e-health literacy increased significantly when the ability to use the Internet increased b0.854, p0.001, and that other variables included in the regression model, including education level, had no significant effect on e-health literacy. The lowest median score was found for the item  I know how to find helpful health resources on the Internet of the E-Health Literacy Scale 3, 253, 754. Conclusion: In light of these results, it appeared that the most important factors affecting e-health literacy among older people are gender and ability to use the Internet, and that there are difficulties in accessing accurate information from the Internet. It is considered that when planning e-health training for the elderly, it may be necessary and beneficial to consider women, improve their Internet skills, and conduct studies to help individuals access accurate health information from high-quality sources.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, yaşlı bireylerin elektronik ortamda sağlık e-sağlık okuryazarlığının incelenmesi amacıyla yürütüldü. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı tasarım kullanılan çalışma; 65 yaş üzeri, internet kullanan, katılmaya gönüllü olan ve Aile Sağlığı merkezlerine kayıtlı 159 katılımcı ile tamamlandı. Veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulmuş bilgi formu ve E-Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği kullanıldı. Bulgular: Erkeklerin kadınlardan anlamlı düzeyde yüksek e-sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyine sahip olduğu b- 2,200; p0,044, internet kullanma becerisi artıkça e-sağlık okuryazarlık puanının anlamlı düzeyde arttığı b0,854, p0,001, eğitim düzeyi dahil regresyon modeline dahil edilen diğer değişkenlerin ise e-sağlık okuryazarlık puanı üzerine anlamlı bir etkisinin olmadığı belirlendi. E-Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeğinin İnternetteki yararlı sağlık kaynaklarını nasıl bulacağımı biliyorum. maddesinde en düşük ortanca değeri tespit edildi 3, 253, 754. Sonuç: Bu bulgular ışığında yaşlı bireylerin e-sağlık okuryazarlığını etkileyen en önemli faktörlerin cinsiyet ve internet kullana becerisi olduğu ve internetten doğru bilgilere ulaşmada zorluklar bulunduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Yaşlı bireylere yönelik planlanacak e-sağlık eğitimlerinde, kadınların gözetilmesi, internet becerilerinin geliştirilmesi ve bireylerin yüksek kalitedeki kaynaklardan doğru sağlık bilgisine ulaşmasını destekleyecek çalışmaların yapılmasının gerekli ve faydalı olabileceği düşünülmektedir.
