Abstract(s)
O rápido desenvolvimento das tecnologias digitais conduziu a um aumento da sua aplicação nas mais diversas áreas, incluindo na área da saúde. Contudo, para retirar o maior benefício da tecnologia no acesso à saúde é necessário que os utilizadores possuam competências básicas de compreensão, obtenção e avaliação de informações. A literacia digital em saúde surge como a convergência de dois conceitos isolados: literacia em saúde e literacia digital. Através de uma scoping review, sustentada na metodologia de Joanna Briggs Institute, procurou caracterizar-se de que forma a literacia digital em saúde determina o acesso à mesma. A pesquisa dos artigos foi realizada recorrendo às bases de dados PubMed, Scopus e Web of Science utilizando palavras-chave definidas. Foram encontrados 114 artigos, tendo sido incluídos 11, de acordo com os critérios de inclusão e exclusão estabelecidos. No atual contexto de transformação digital dos Sistemas de Saúde, a literacia digital em saúde desempenha um papel crucial como determinante de acesso. Há que avaliar e identificar as necessidades dos utilizadores, promover a literacia digital em saúde e garantir a equidade de acesso quebrando barreiras sistémicas e sociais.
ABSTRACT The fast development of science and digital technologies has led to an increase in their application in the most diverse areas, including healthcare. However, to make the most of technology in accessing healthcare, users must have basic skills in understanding, obtaining, and evaluating information. The concept of digital health literacy emerges as the combination of two isolated concepts: digital literacy and health literacy. Through a scoping review based on the Joanna Briggs Institute, it was described how digital literacy determines access to health. The search for articles was carried out using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using defined keywords. 114 articles were found, and 11 articles were included according to the established inclusion and exclusion criteria. In the current context of digital transformation of Health Systems, digital health literacy plays a crucial role as a determinant of access. It is necessary to evaluate and identify users' needs, promote digital health literacy, and guarantee equity of access by breaking systemic and social barriers.
