Abstract

Bu çalışma, Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesinde öğrenim gören birinci ve dördüncü sınıf öğrencilerinin e-sağlık okuryazarlığı ve siberkondri düzeylerini karşılaştırmayı ve bu iki değişken arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu araştırma, kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı bir çalışma olarak tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini, bir devlet üniversitesinin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesinde öğrenim gören 466 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Veriler, E-Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği ve Siberkondri Ciddiyet Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. İstatistiksel analizlerde bağımsız örneklem t-testi, ANOVA, Pearson korelasyon analizi ve doğrusal regresyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular, dördüncü sınıf öğrencilerinin e-sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeylerinin birinci sınıf öğrencilerine göre anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir (p < 0.001). Ancak, siberkondri düzeyleri açısından sınıf düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark tespit edilmemiştir (p = 0.057). Korelasyon analizleri, e-sağlık okuryazarlığı ile siberkondri arasında sınıf düzeyine göre pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir (r= 0.189, p < 0.01; r = 0.259, p < 0.01). Regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre, e-sağlık okuryazarlığının siberkondri düzeyi üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etkisi bulunmaktadır (p = 0.001). Ancak, modelin açıklayıcı gücü düşük olup (R² = %3.4 - %6.7), e-sağlık okuryazarlığının siberkondriyi tek başına yeterli düzeyde açıklamadığını göstermektedir. Elde edilen bulgular, e-sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyi daha yüksek olan öğrencilerin çevrimiçi sağlık bilgisi arama davranışlarının da daha sık olduğunu ve bunun siberkondri ile ilişkili olabileceğini göstermektedir. Ancak, bu ilişkinin doğasının nedensel olup olmadığını belirlemek için ileri araştırmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Araştırma sonuçları, siberkondriyi daha kapsamlı bir şekilde anlamak için sağlık kaygısı, anksiyete düzeyi ve internet kullanım alışkanlıkları gibi ek değişkenlerin ilerleyen çalışmalarda modele dahil edilmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır.

eHealth Literacy and Cyberchondria Among Health Sciences Students: A Comparative Analysis of First-Year and Final-Year Students

Year 2025, Volume: 8 Issue: 2, 230 - 239, 20.06.2025

Abstract

This study aims to compare the levels of e-health literacy and cyberchondria among first-year and fourth-year students in a faculty of health sciences and to examine the relationship between these two variables. This research was designed as a cross-sectional and descriptive study. The sample consisted of 466 students enrolled in the Faculty of Health Sciences at a public university. Data were collected using the E-Health Literacy Scale and the Cyberchondria Severity Scale. Statistical analyses included independent sample t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis.The findings indicate that fourth-year students had significantly higher levels of e-health literacy compared to first-year students (p <0.001). However, no statistically significant difference was found in cyberchondria levels between the class levels (p = 0.057). Correlation analyses revealed a positive and significant relationship between e-health literacy and cyberchondria, varying by class level (r = 0.189, p <0.01; r = 0.259, p <0.01). According to the regression analysis results, e-health literacy had a statistically significant effect on cyberchondria levels (p = 0.001). However, the explanatory power of the model was low (R² = 3.4%- 6.7%), indicating that e-health literacy alone is not sufficient to fully explain cyberchondria. The findings suggest that students with higher levels of e-health literacy engage more frequently in online health information-seeking behaviors, which may be associated with cyberchondria. However, further research is needed to determine whether this relationship is causal. The results highlight the need to include additional variables such as health anxiety, anxiety levels, and internet usage habits in future studies to gain a more comprehensive understanding of cyberchondria.
