Graduate Nursing Students' Awareness of Digital Resources for Patient Education

Digital health literacy is increasingly important in health care delivery. The purpose of this study was to assess graduate nursing students' awareness of the role of digital resources in patient education. A required learning activity regarding the analysis of health care websites was performed by graduate nursing students. Pre-and postactivity surveys were completed. After analyzing health care websites through a digital health literacy learning activity, students reported increased awareness of digital health resources and an increased awareness of the low readability level of many sites. Curricular initiatives can increase knowledge and skills related to digital health literacy. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
