What the paper says

In today’s digital age, young individuals living in urban centers are awmong the most advantaged groups in terms of access to information. This research examines the technology readiness (TR) levels of young people in Istanbul, Turkey, and its impact on their eHealth literacy (eHL). In this cross-sectional research, data were collected through convenience sampling between February and April 2023, and analyzed using frequency, factor, reliability, correlation and regression analyses using the SPSS 25 package program. The results indicate that young individuals’ motivating perceptions of technology (optimism and innovativeness) are stronger than their inhibiting perceptions (discomfort and insecurity). Additionally, while TR’s motivating factors have a significant, positive, and moderate effect on eHL and its sub-dimensions (functional, communicative, critical, and translational); the inhibiting factors do not show a statistically significant effect on eHL and its sub-dimensions. These results demonstrate that young individuals’ positive attitudes towards TR increase their adaptation to eHealth solutions. Moreover, the lack of change in eHL levels among those with negative views on TR underscores the growing indispensability and significance of technology use at the individual level in healthcare services.
