Abstract | Background: Electronic health literacy has been considered a public health goal in the present century so that having electronic health literacy is essential to improve healthcare status. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the electronic health literacy level in nurses working at selected military hospitals in Tehran in 2019. Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical, cross-sectional study on 135 nurses in selected military hospitals in Tehran selected through a stratified convenience sampling method in 2019. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS) filled in by nurses. The Spearman correlation test was used to assess the relationship between research variables and Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare different groups. Data were analyzed using SPSS-23 at a significance level of 0.05. Results: In this study, 135 questionnaires were analyzed. The mean score of the electronic health literacy of nurses was 31.72 ± 5.51. Nurses’ electronic health literacy was significantly correlated with age, working hospital, and education level (P < 0.05). Conclusions: According to the results, nurses’ electronic health literacy was desirable. Also, it seems that continuing education and pursuing higher academic degrees will increase nurses’ electronic health literacy. | en |
