Effects of Digital Literacy Mentoring Delivered by Young Migrants on eHealth and Digital Literacy Among Older Migrants: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Обзор

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.
