Digital Health Literacy on Diabetes Knowledge Among Older Adults in the United States

Nurses should be knowledgeable about the impact of digital health literacy on diabetes knowledge for older adults. Nurses and healthcare providers should assess patients' digital literacy levels as part of routine diabetes care and guide the older adults to gain the ability to utilize digital health information resources. Given that diabetes is a chronic illness, older adults should be able to manage it independently, and nurses play a pivotal role in supporting their effective self-care and providing age-tailored health education and interventions.
