Assessment of eHealth literacy among cardiovascular disease patients and analysis of influencing factors

Our findings reveal that the eHealth literacy among cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients remains at a relatively low level. This situation underscores the urgent need for interventions aimed at enhancing patients' proactive health awareness and delivering targeted eHealth training programs. Specifically, such initiatives should be designed to enable patients to accurately access, comprehensively understand, critically evaluate, and effectively apply health information in the digital realm. By doing so, we can empower CVD patients to better manage their health in the context of the digital age, ultimately leading to an improvement in their eHealth literacy levels. These efforts are not only crucial for individual patient care but also have broader implications for optimizing health outcomes at a population level.
