Barriers and Enablers of Electronic Health Literacy in Colorectal Cancer Patients: A Phenomenological Study

Patients with colorectal cancer's eHealth literacy is hindered by low willingness and ability to seek information. Healthcare professionals should motivate patients with colorectal cancer to actively seek information related to their disease; develop a healthcare provider-family-patient coordinated support system; and develop an information platform specifically focusing on patients with colorectal cancer. These integrated interventions at the individual, family, clinical, and systemic levels can collectively improve eHealth literacy and health outcomes.
