“…To determine the model most appropriate for the measurement of eHealth literacy in Malaysia, the local digital health landscape must be considered. Developed nations are focusing on eHealth literacy as part of the evaluation of digital health services such as online interactions between doctor and patient as well as electronic health records (Srivastava et al, 2015). Developing nations have different eHealth literacy needs as their health systems may not be as advanced and approaches/ solutions applied in the developed world may not be effective.…”

“…In countries such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the United States of America, an array of health services are now being moved to online platforms. These services include consultations with general practitioners, access to medical records and acquisition of personalised health advice and information (Srivastava, Pant, Abraham & Agrawal, 2015). Although these services are not yet being implemented in Malaysia, an assessment of our eHealth literacy levels would inform the future development of such services.…”

Health literacy is an important component to the self-management of one's health decisions. As information on the Internet becomes more easily accessible, individuals need to be properly equipped to seek and evaluate the health information available to them. Digital health literacy, or eHealth literacy, refers to an array of skills required to properly seek, access, understand and apply health information on the Internet. To date, a number of different models and instruments have been developed to measure eHealth literacy, including the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS), the eHealth Literacy Framework (eHLF), the Digital Health Literacy Instrument (DHLI), the eHealth Literacy Questionnaire (eHLQ), the eHealth Literacy Assessment Toolkit (eHLA) and the Transactional eHealth Literacy Instrument (TeHLI). While some of these instruments rely on the individual's self-assessment of eHealth literacy, others also test for functional information, communication and technological competencies. This paper presents these different eHealth literacy instruments and how they have been applied in current research. The similarities and differences between the instruments are examined. The discussion concludes with a summary of the measures and potential ways forward in developing an eHealth Literacy instrument for the Malaysian population. It is hoped that this paper may benefit researchers, health care providers, practitioners, ministries and governing bodies interested in understanding eHealth literacy and its measures.

“…It is a challenge to reach and maintain ideal levels of adherence to ART due to individual, social, and systemic barriers that hamper this process 4 . Studies indicate that despite the availability of ART drugs, some difficulties concerning adherence to therapy and prevalence rates of non-adherence ranging from 51.3% 1,5 to 25% 6 are observed.…”

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar a eficácia do uso do telefone para adesão de pessoas com HIV/AIDS à terapia antirretroviral. Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática, nas bases de dados: Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs/Bireme), Scopus, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline/PubMed), Web of Science; e nas bibliotecas Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO) e Cochrane, com uso dos seguintes descritores: “HIV”, “Cell Phones”, “Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome” e “Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active”. Obteve-se uma amostra de 17 artigos. As intervenções com uso de telefones celulares propostas foram: uso de aplicativos de celulares, Serviço de Mensagem Curta e chamadas telefônicas. Na maioria dos estudos, o uso do telefone trouxe impacto significativo sobre a adesão ao tratamento. A avaliação dos estudos apontou boa qualidade metodológica e sigilo de alocação adequado. Acerca dos métodos de mensuração da adesão destacou-se a autorrelatada. A utilização de telefone celular foi eficaz para a melhoria da adesão à terapia antirretroviral de pessoas vivendo com HIV.

“…For the purposes of the present article, health behavior refers to choices about diet, physical activity, tobacco use, medication adherence, and adherence to medical regimens (e.g., monitoring blood glucose). Commercially available e-health devices and programs have become increasingly popular (Rainie, 2012;Srivastava, Pant, Abraham, & Agrawal, 2015) and demonstrate a strong potential for revolutionizing health-behavior monitoring and intervention delivery (Asch, Muller, & Volpp, 2012). As such, technology-based behavioral healthcare is an area with high demand for qualified clinicians, and it represents one avenue to expand the breadth of behavior-analytic practice.…”

Technology-based health interventions are providing unprecedented ways to improve a range of socially significant behavior. In this article, we provide behavior analysts with an overview of technology-based platforms and applications to help broaden research and practice. First, we discuss "high-tech" platforms, such as smartphones, wearable sensors, and other wireless devices. Second, we provide information about "low-tech" platforms, such as text messaging, which may be more feasible to implement than high-tech platforms. Finally, we discuss challenges and opportunities, and we provide specific guidance regarding the prescription of these assessment and intervention tools as a part of behavior analytic services.
