An interventional study of E-Health Literacy Based Education in Older Adults, Nursing Homes and Artifical Intelligence, sponsored by Ondokuz Mayıs University. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to participants aged 65 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-19.
Sponsored by Ondokuz Mayıs University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
Objective The aim of this research is to evaluate how improving the technology use skills of older adults in nursing homes changes their perceptions of access to safe health information and the use of artificial intelligence.
Hypotheses H1: Improving the technology use skills of older adults in nursing homes changes their perceptions of access to safe health information and the use of artificial intelligence.
The rapid increase in the older population worldwide and in our country necessitates new approaches to accessing healthcare services. With the impact of digitalization on healthcare, e-health applications (online appointment systems, telehealth services, electronic health records, etc.) have become widespread; however, the ability of older adults to effectively use these systems largely depends on their e-health literacy levels. Older adults in nursing homes, in particular, require more support in accessing healthcare services due to both physical and social limitations, and stand out as a disadvantaged group in adapting to digital technologies. This situation makes it crucial to improve the technology usage skills of older adults, thereby changing their perceptions regarding access to reliable health information and the use of artificial intelligence.

Exclusion Criteria:
-A score below 24 on the Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination and having a serious psychiatric disorder (e.g., dementia or schizophrenia) that would prevent participation in the study
In the study, older adults in the experimental group will receive e-health literacy-based education once a week for 6 weeks, for a total of 6 sessions.
Other: E-Health Literacy Based Education
Individuals in the control group will not participate in the intervention. Individuals in control group will continue their routine activities in nursing home.
Older adults in the experimental group will participate in education sessions based on the E-Health Literacy Model.
Standardized Mini Mental State Examination
Standardized Mini Mental State Examination was developed by Folstein et al. (1975) to be used in dementia screening and adapted into Turkish by Güngen et al. (2002) to assess cognitive status. This scale is examined under five main headings and evaluated as recording memory (3 points), orientation (10 points), recall (3 points), attention and calculation (5 points) and language (9 points). There are two separate forms of the Mini Mental State for educated and uneducated individuals. The scale is evaluated out of 30 points; 24-30 is considered as normal, below 24 as cognitive impairment, 18-23 as mild dementia, 12-17 as moderate dementia and below 12 as severe dementia.
Time frame: The scale will be applied at baseline, pre-intervention.
E-Health Literacy Scale
The E-Health Literacy Scale was developed by Norman and Skinner (2006a) and its Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Uskun et al. (2022). In the Turkish adaptation, the Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.97. The scale consists of 2 items related to internet use and 8 items measuring internet attitudes. The scale items were designed using a 5-point Likert scale method. The lowest possible score on the scale is 8, and the highest possible score is 40.
Time frame: This scale will be applied at baseline and after the 6 weeks experiment.
