Abstract(s)
Este estudo pretendeu caracterizar o nível de e-literacia em saúde em jovens adultos portugueses. Participaram 109 indivíduos, com idades entre 18 e 25 anos, que responderam a um questionário sociodemográfico e à Escala de E-literacia em Saúde. Globalmente, os jovens apresentam razoável e-literacia em saúde funcional, níveis medianos de e-literacia crítica, e fraca e-literacia comunicacional. Os resultados revelam não existirem diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os dois sexos quanto à e-literacia em saúde global, funcional, comunicacional, e crítica, e que a e-literacia crítica em saúde é superior nos participantes que completaram o mestrado do que nos jovens com menor escolaridade.
The present study aimed to characterize the level of ehealth literacy in young Portuguese adults. 109 participants, aged between 18 and 25, answered to a sociodemographic questionnaire and to the e-Health Literacy Scale. Globally, participants present reasonable functional e-health literacy, median levels of critical ehealth literacy, and poor communicational e-health literacy. The results show that there are no statistically significant differences between the two genders in global, functional, communicational, and critical e-health literacy, and that critical e-health literacy is higher in participants who completed a master degree than in those with lower academic degrees.
