The Adult Inpatient eHealth Literacy Scale (AIPeHLS): Development and Validation Study
The 44-item AIPeHLS was found to be a reliable and valid instrument for assessing eHL in adult inpatients in the evolving Web 3.0 context. Its comprehensive framework and strong psychometric properties make it an effective tool for health care providers to understand patients' digital health competencies and tailor interventions accordingly. For researchers, our findings provided opportunities to explore the relationship between eHL and health outcomes, while offering valuable insights into the development of more effective eHealth interventions and policies.
