“…SS also moderates the association between HL and health information searching by older adults (Tang & Wang, 2023). However, studies on the association between online health information searching and HL and SS in middle‐aged and older adults are scarce (Hamid et al, 2023; Jia et al, 2021; Liu, 2022), and these associations thus remain unclear. Moreover, although Japanese people are suspected of having low HL, previous research mainly has focused on reading/comprehension measures or traits (Lee et al, 2021; Lorini et al, 2020).…”

Given the rapid increase in health information available, health literacy is now more important than ever when searching for health information online. Furthermore, health literacy and online health information searching are reported to be associated with support from others. In this study, we examined the associations of health literacy and social support with online health information searching among individuals in their 50s and 60s. Between March and May 2022, an anonymous self‐administered questionnaire was administered among 750 middle‐aged and older adults (age 50–69) living in northern Japan. The questionnaire items included personal characteristics, frequency of online health information searching, health literacy domains, and social support. A total of 237 respondents answered all the items (response rate: 31.6%). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that communicative health literacy was significantly associated with searching for information about illnesses and health promotion, while critical health literacy was significantly associated with searching for information about medical institutions. Controlling for personal characteristics, health literacy, was associated with online health information searching, suggesting that improving health literacy is important in a digital and information society.

Background There are numerous symptoms related to cancer and its treatments that can affect the psychosomatic health and quality of life of patients with cancer. The use of electronic symptom management systems (ESMSs) can help patients with cancer monitor and manage their symptoms effectively, improving their health-related outcomes. However, patients’ adhesion to ESMSs decreases over time, and little is known about their real experiences with them. Therefore, it is necessary to gain a deep understanding of patients’ experiences with ESMSs. Objective The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize qualitative studies on the experiences of patients with cancer using ESMSs. Methods A total of 12 electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EBSCOhost, Embase, PsycINFO, ProQuest, Scopus, Wanfang database, CNKI, CBM, and VIP, were searched to collect relevant studies from the earliest available record until January 2, 2024. Qualitative and mixed methods studies published in English or Chinese were included. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement checklist) and the ENTREQ (Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research) statement were used to improve transparency in reporting the synthesis of the qualitative research. The Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) checklist was used to appraise the methodological quality of the included studies, and a meta-synthesis was conducted to interpret and synthesize the findings. Results A total of 21 studies were included in the meta-synthesis. The experiences of patients with cancer using ESMSs were summarized into three major categories: (1) perceptions and attitudes toward ESMSs; (2) the value of ESMSs; and (3) barriers, requirements, and suggestions for ESMSs. Subsequently, 10 subcategories emerged from the 3 major categories. The meta-synthesis revealed that patients with cancer had both positive and negative experiences with ESMSs. In general, patients recognized the value of ESMSs in symptom assessment and management and were willing to use them, but they still encountered barriers and wanted them to be improved. Conclusions This systematic review provides implications for developing future ESMSs that improve health-related outcomes for patients with cancer. Future research should focus on strengthening electronic equipment and technical support for ESMSs, improving their functional contents and participation forms, and developing personalized applications tailored to the specific needs and characteristics of patients with cancer.
