The relationship between diabetes distress and eHealth literacy among patients under 60 years of age with diabetes: a multicenter cross-sectional survey
This study shows that eHealth literacy significantly influences the perception of distress among patients with diabetes, with social support and psychological status playing important mediating roles. Enhancing eHealth literacy, especially patients' ability to access and apply health information, may help reduce diabetes distress. Future research should explore more representative samples and long-term study designs to validate these findings and evaluate the effectiveness of various interventions.
