■COVID-19大流行对全球的医疗保健服务产生了重大影响。在这场危机中,数字工具成为维护医疗保健服务的首选解决方案。这项研究旨在评估2020-2023年埃塞俄比亚医疗保健专业人员的数字健康素养水平。
遵循系统评价和荟萃分析(PRISMA)指南的首选报告项目进行系统评价和荟萃分析。2020年至2023年发表的文章使用各种电子数据库进行了审查,如Medline,PubMed,和Cochrane图书馆,CINAHL,Hinari,科学直接,谷歌学者,全球健康。使用STATA17进行Meta分析,评估发表偏倚和异质性。
■六项研究共涉及2739名参与者纳入分析。大流行期间埃塞俄比亚卫生专业人员的高数字健康素养汇总水平为56.0%(95%CI:55,58)。几个因素被确定为高数字健康素养的重要贡献者,包括互联网使用(AOR=2.72,95%CI:1.86,3.98),感知易用性(AOR=2.79,95%CI:1.83,4.25),有利态度(AOR=2.49,95%CI:1.61,3.85),感知有用性(AOR=2.29,95%CI:1.65,3.18),信息通信技术培训(AOR=6.09,95%CI:1.83,24.27),和文化程度(AOR=3.60,95%CI:2.96,4.37)。
■研究结果显示,埃塞俄比亚卫生专业人员的数字健康素养处于中等水平。互联网使用等因素,积极的态度,和信息通信技术培训与高水平的数字健康素养有关。为了提高数字健康素养,为医疗保健专业人员提供及时的培训和改善互联网接入至关重要。此外,促进对数字工具有用和支持循证决策的认识,可以进一步提高数字健康素养。应实施全面的信息通信技术培训计划,为医疗保健专业人员提供必要的技能,以有效对抗COVID-19大流行等疫情。
UNASSIGNED: The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on healthcare delivery worldwide. Digital tools emerged as a preferred solution for maintaining healthcare services during this crisis. This study aimed to assess the magnitude of digital health literacy among healthcare professionals in Ethiopia in 2020-2023.
UNASSIGNED: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Articles published from 2020 to 2023 were reviewed using various electronic databases such as Medline, PubMed, and Cochrane Library, CINAHL, HINARI, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Global Health. Meta-analysis was performed using STATA 17, and publication bias and heterogeneity were assessed.
UNASSIGNED: Six studies involving a total of 2739 participants were included in the analysis. The pooled level of high digital health literacy among health professionals in Ethiopia during the pandemic was found to be 56.0% (95% CI: 55, 58). Several factors were identified as significant contributors to high digital health literacy, including internet use (AOR = 2.72, 95% CI: 1.86, 3.98), perceived ease of use (AOR = 2.79, 95% CI: 1.83, 4.25), favorable attitude (AOR = 2.49, 95% CI: 1.61, 3.85), perceived usefulness (AOR = 2.29, 95% CI: 1.65, 3.18), information-communication-technology training (AOR = 6.09, 95% CI: 1.83, 24.27), and educational level (AOR = 3.60, 95% CI: 2.96, 4.37).
UNASSIGNED: The study findings revealed a moderate level of high digital health literacy among Ethiopian health professionals. Factors such as internet use, favorable attitude, and information-communication-technology training were associated with high-level digital health literacy. To enhance digital health literacy, it is crucial to provide timely training and improve internet access for healthcare professionals. Additionally, promoting the perception of digital tools as useful and supporting evidence-based decision-making can further improve digital health literacy. Comprehensive information-communication-technology training programs should be implemented to equip healthcare professionals with necessary skills to effectively combat outbreaks like the COVID-19 pandemic.
