Abstract
Introduction
Digital information and communication technologies present new opportunities and using
them strategically will be essential to ensure that people enjoy better health and well-being.
Objective
To determine the effectiveness of digital interventions in promoting health literacy among
adults and the elderly.2
Methods
The systematic review and meta-analysis protocol followed the Cochrane methodological
process, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis
(PRISMA) guidelines and the completion of the PRISMA checklist. A search strategy was
constructed, following the eligibility criteria of the studies and using the PICOS approach.
A comprehensive search was planned in the SCOPUS, Web of Science and EBSCO
(Medline, CINAHL) databases. The results of the database search will be exported to
Zotero®. The search strategy used in the databases and the literature selection process will
be presented according to the PRISMA S guidelines (Extension). Studies will be considered
eligible for analysis according to the selection through inclusion and exclusion criteria
established.
Results
The relationship between digital health interventions and the promotion of health literacy
will be evaluated using health literacy scales and, in order to assess the effectiveness of
digital interventions, a meta-analysis will be carried out using the Jasp® tool.
Conclusion
The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to obtain data on the effectiveness
of digital health interventions in promoting health literacy, as well as to identify the type of
digital intervention that promotes health literacy. From previous research, the results were
promising: e-learning programs1, video-based information3 and telerehabilitation
programs4 have proven to be effective in promoting digital health literacy.
