The Relationship Between Parents' E‐Health Literacy and Attitudes Toward Childhood Vaccination: A Descriptive‐Correlational Study

This study showed that parents with higher e-health literacy tend to have more positive attitudes toward childhood vaccination. However, the relationship between these two variables was weak, suggesting only a limited association between e-health literacy and vaccination attitudes. In addition, parents with higher education and better economic status had higher e-health literacy scores. Due to the weak correlation observed, it is important for nurses to understand that increasing e-health literacy alone is unlikely to produce significant improvements in parental vaccination attitudes. Despite the weak correlation, these results may help guide future research exploring the broader context of vaccine attitudes among parents.

Abstract

This study showed that parents with higher e-health literacy tend to have more positive attitudes toward childhood vaccination. However, the relationship between these two variables was weak, suggesting only a limited association between e-health literacy and vaccination attitudes. In addition, parents with higher education and better economic status had higher e-health literacy scores. Due to the weak correlation observed, it is important for nurses to understand that increasing e-health literacy alone is unlikely to produce significant improvements in parental vaccination attitudes. Despite the weak correlation, these results may help guide future research exploring the broader context of vaccine attitudes among parents.
