About this trial

This study aims to examine digital media use and eHealth literacy among patients receiving chemotherapy. Digital media has become an important tool for accessing health information, communicating with healthcare providers, and supporting self-management.

This observational study will be conducted with adult patients receiving chemotherapy in an outpatient setting. Data will be collected using a sociodemographic information form and the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS). The findings are expected to contribute to a better understanding of digital media use and digital health literacy levels in chemotherapy patients.
