Brief summary
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines digital health as the field of knowledge and application related to any aspect of the adoption of digital technology in the stages of improvement. The combination of digital health with technology brings about a new transformation in digital media. This transformation allows for the development of communication and information in health services, the ability to conduct health-related research on digital media and the evaluation of this data. The ease of access to information and the provision of a timely feedback mechanism in the face of problems have enabled the spread of digital health systems, and have also enabled chronic disease management and epidemic disease monitoring. It is recommended that the term digital readiness be used to cover the combination of digital access and use, digital literacy and digital health literacy. Digital health readiness is also defined as the main determinant of health and is thought to contribute to the improvement of health processes with the development of digital health literacy and to be a useful solution against health problems that may arise in the follow-up of chronic diseases. Although there are tools in the literature that evaluate digital health readiness, there is no Turkish assessment tool that facilitates the follow-up of non-communicable chronic diseases. Therefore, the aim of our study is to evaluate the translation, validity, and reliability of the Digital Health Readiness Questionaire into Turkish in individuals with chronic non-infectious diseases.
