Official title
Effects of Digital Literacy Mentoring Delivered by Young Migrants on eHealth and Digital Literacy Among Older Migrants: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
Purpose This study is a randomized controlled experimental trial aiming to evaluate the effects of mentoring-based digital literacy training delivered by young migrants on older migrants' eHealth literacy and their ability to seek and verify health information in digital environments. The study will be conducted among young and older Ahiska Turkish migrants living in the Üzümlü district of Erzincan province. Method The study will be conducted in two phases. In the first phase, young migrants will receive digital literacy training that includes mentoring skills. In the second phase, these individuals will provide training to older migrants. The sample size has been determined based on a power analysis and will consist of a total of 80 participants. Data will be collected using the eHealth Literacy Scale and the Digital Health Information Seeking and Verification Scale. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software, and appropriate parametric and/or non-parametric tests will be applied. Training sessions will be conducted in controlled environments, in small groups, and tailored to participants' needs. Participant follow-up will be maintained throughout the process to support the sustainability of the intervention. Research Hypotheses Primary Hypothesis * H0: Mentoring-based digital literacy training delivered by young migrants has no effect on older migrants' levels of eHealth literacy and digital literacy. * H1: Mentoring-based digital literacy training delivered by young migrants has a significant effect on older migrants' levels of eHealth literacy and digital literacy. Secondary Hypothesis * H0: Mentoring-based digital literacy training delivered by young migrants has no effect on older migrants' eHealth literacy levels. * H2: Mentoring-based digital literacy training delivered by young migrants has a significant effect on older migrants' eHealth literacy levels. Third Hypothesis * H0: Mentoring-based digital literacy training delivered by young migrants has no effect on older migrants' digital literacy levels. * H3: Mentoring-based digital literacy training delivered by young migrants has a significant effect on older migrants' digital literacy levels.
Interventions
- Other MEDOYE
Participants who agree to take part in the study will be enrolled in a mentoring-based training program. The training content will include group process management, warm-up activities, computer-assisted instruction (PowerPoint presentations), verbal instruction, role-playing, demonstration and practice, small group discussions, and question-answer techniques. A total of nine training sessions will be conducted twice a week, each lasting 45-90 minutes. Short breaks not exceeding 15 minutes will - Other control grup
Participants in the control group will receive no intervention during the study period. At baseline, participants will complete the pre-test assessments, including the Personal Information Form, the eHealth Literacy Scale, and the Digital Health Information Seeking and Verification Scale. After the completion of the experimental group intervention, post-test assessments will be administered. Following the study, digital literacy training will also be provided to control group participants.
