Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Digitale Technologien stellen ein großes Potenzial für Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung im Hinblick auf die Reichweite und individualisierte sowie bedürfnisorientierte Gestaltung von Informationen dar. Diese müssen von Nutzer*innen verstanden, aber auch innerhalb der Settingprävention vor allem von Organisationen adäquat eingesetzt und in Prozesse der Sturkturentwicklung überführt werden. Das Konzept der eHealth Literacy setzt verschiedenen Determinanten dafür in Zusammenhang. Ziel und Methodik Um einen Einblick über die Verwendung des Konzepts eHealth Literacy in der Forschung zu digitalen Technologien der Gesundheitsförderung und Prävention zu erhalten, wurde eine systematisierte Literaturrecherche durchgeführt. Dabei wurden die Datenbanken MEDLINE, CINAHL, SocINDEX, PsycINFO, Psyndex, IEEE Xplore, BASE und Web of Science durchsucht. Ergebnisse Es wurden 35 Artikel identifiziert, die Health Literacy in Bezug zu digitalen Technologien fokussieren. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine marginale wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit dem Konzept. Bisher findet keine Anpassung digitaler Technologien an die Health Literacy der Nutzer*innen statt. Das führt zu einer verkürzten Perspektive und zu ungenutztem Potenzial, welches das Konzept bietet. Schlussfolgerung Es besteht ein dringender Bedarf, ein evidenzbasiertes eHealth-Literacy-Konzept zu entwickeln und anzuwenden, um digitale Technologien und Gesundheitsinformationen zielgruppenspezifisch und ressourcenorientiert modifizieren und in Settings einsetzen zu können.

Young men who have sex with men (YMSM) living with HIV experience challenges with retention in care, which negatively affects viral suppression. To address this, researchers piloted Bijou, a program designed to provide health education through electronically delivered behavior and risk reduction modules. Participants were 29 YMSM aged 19-24 living with HIV from the southeastern US. Participants completed pre, post, and 3-month follow-up (3MFU) surveys assessing knowledge, intervention acceptability, satisfaction, self-efficacy, ehealth literacy, and usability. Findings revealed significant improvement in knowledge and e-health literacy from pre-test to post-test but lost significance at 3MFU. Self-efficacy scores did not show significant differences from pre-test to post-test or 3MFU. Participants who completed all modules considered Bijou usable and acceptable; however, many did not complete the program. Findings suggest a need for adaptations to promote knowledge retention, e-health literacy, engagement over time, and research with a larger, more representative sample.

Abstract Background According to recent projections, even 10% of Polish gross domestic product is contributed by Ukrainian immigrants. There is also a considerable number of Ukrainians continuing university education in Poland. The level of health literacy in Ukrainian society has not been studied so far. The aim of the study was the comparison of health literacy (HL) and e-health literacy (eHL) of young adult Ukrainian (UA) women with their Polish (PL) counterparts Methods A snowball technique was used to recruit a sample of UA women working or studying in Poland to the Internet-based survey. The questionnaire used in the study consisted of the 16-item European HL Survey questionnaire (HLS-EU-16), eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS), the set of the questions asking about health behaviours (HB), self-assessment of health status (HS) and items exploring sociodemographic variables. For comparison, the data of an age-matched sample of 100 respondents was extracted from the online survey performed in a representative sample of PL women. Results The mean age (standard deviation, SD) of 57 UA respondents was 20.23 (1.78) years and in Polish sample 20.25 (1.79). HL did not differ between both groups (11.06 (4.22) vs 11.44 (4.34), respectively, p = 0.53), but eHL was significantly lower in UA group (25.91 (5.36) vs 28.17 (5.37), U Mann-Whitney test, p = 0.01). Only 58.5% of UA respondents vs 80.5% of PL ones assessed their HS as at least good (Fisher exact test, p < 0.001). The rates of active smoking (34.6% vs. 35.0%, p = 0.55), using e-cigarettes (35.3% vs 34.0%, p = 0.99), frequent alcohol consumption (26.9% vs. 20%, p = 0.41), and intensive physical activity (49.0% vs. 38.0%, p = 0.22) did not differ between study groups. Conclusions Young UA women show lower eHL than PL counterparts. Although HL and HB in both groups did not differ significantly, UA respondents have assessed their HS much lower than PL participants. Key messages E-health literacy and self-assessed health status were significantly lower among young Ukrainian than among Polish women. Both groups did not differ for health literacy and health behaviours.

ObjectivesThe objective of this review was to assess the benefit of using electronic, mobile and telehealth tools for vulnerable patients with chronic disease and explore the mechanisms by which these impact patient self-efficacy and self-management.DesignWe searched MEDLINE, all evidence-based medicine, CINAHL, Embase and PsychINFO covering the period 2009 to 2018 for electronic, mobile or telehealth interventions. Quality was assessed according to rigour and relevance. Those studies providing a richer description (‘thick’) were synthesised using a realist matrix.Setting and participantsStudies of any design conducted in community-based primary care involving adults with one or more diagnosed chronic health condition and vulnerability due to demographic, geographic, economic and/or cultural characteristics.ResultsEighteen trials were identified targeting a range of chronic conditions and vulnerabilities. The data provided limited insight into the mechanisms underpinning these interventions, most of which sought to persuade vulnerable patients into believing they could self-manage their conditions through improved symptom monitoring, education and support and goal setting. Patients were relatively passive in the interaction, and the level of patient response attributed to their intrinsic level of motivation. Health literacy, which may be confounded with motivation, was only measured in one study, and eHealth literacy was not assessed.ConclusionsResearch incorporating these tools with vulnerable groups is not comprehensive. Apart from intrinsic motivation, health literacy may also influence the reaction of vulnerable groups to technology. Social persuasion was the main way interventions sought to achieve better self-management. Efforts to engage patients by healthcare providers were lower than expected. Use of social networks or other eHealth mechanisms to link patients and provide opportunities for vicarious experience could be further explored in relation to vulnerable groups. Future research could also assess health and eHealth literacy and differentiate the specific needs for vulnerable groups when implementing health technologies.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Die Nahinfrarot-Fluoreszenzbildgebung (NIR) ist eine neue Technik zur intraoperativen Identifizierung von Sentinel-Lymphknoten (SLN). Sie hat in mehreren chirurgischen Fachgebieten vielversprechende Ergebnisse gezeigt. Dieser Artikel gibt einen Überblick über die aktuelle Studienlage der NIR-SLN-Diagnostik des Kopf-Hals-Malignoms. Material und Methoden Systematische Literaturrecherche in folgenden Online-Datenbanken: PubMed, MEDLINE, Thompson Reuters Web of Science und SPIE nach den Suchbegriffen: sentinel node, sentinel node biopsy, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, near-infrared imaging, indocyanine green, icg. Bewertung der wissenschaftlichen Relevanz der Arbeiten nach festgelegten Kriterien. Ergebnisse Es wurden Arbeiten in Bezug auf die klinische Anwendung, die klinische Befunderhebung, die Identifikationsrate und die Falsch-Negativ-Rate analysiert. Die Identifikationsrate des SLN liegt bei 97–100 %, mit durchschnittlich 1,2–3,4 Fluoreszenz positiven Lymphknoten pro Untersuchung. Die Rate falsch-negativer Befunde variiert insgesamt zwischen 0 und 20 %. Schlussfolgerungen In Zusammenschau der aktuell publizierten Ergebnisse verspricht die NIR-Bildgebung ein großes Potenzial, die Diagnostik des SLN bei Karzinomen im Bereich der Mundhöhle und des Pharynx zu verbessern. Vorteilhaft ist die einfache und schnelle Durchführung mit guter räumlicher Auflösung ohne Strahlenexposition.
