Changes in Nurse-Patient Communication Through Health Technologies and Nursing Practices to Recognize and Support Limited Digital Health Literacy: Qualitative Study
Our findings show that health technologies have significantly influenced nurse-patient communication in the hospital setting. The results highlight the need for tailored training programs to strengthen nurses' competencies in identifying and supporting patients with limited digital health literacy. This is essential to ensure more comprehensible and accessible care and promote equitable patient engagement with health technologies.
