Self-assessed vs. reported digital competence among health students in Germany, Ukraine and Kazakhstan: a DigComp 2.2–based cross-sectional study
The findings suggest a mismatch between self-assessed and actual digital competence, particularly among German students, who may underestimate their skills. This highlights the importance of triangulating quantitative self-reports with qualitative diagnostics. The study underscores the need for embedded digital skills training, especially in Digital content creation, across national contexts in health education.
