Abstract：Objective:To understand the level of technology acceptance and e-health literacy in elderly patients with coronary heart disease,and explore the relationship between them.Methods:333 elderly patients admitted in 2 Shanghai tertiary grade A hospitals were investigated by demographics,Short Form Questionnaire of Senior Technology Acceptance Model and eHealth Literacy Scale from November 2021 to January 2022.Results:The eHealth literacy scored(23.35±9.85)point,and the four dimensions of technology acceptance including attitudinal beliefs,control beliefs,gerontechnology anxiety,and health scored(7.35±2.24),(6.80±1.89),(5.63±2.55)and(7.84±1.14)points.Pearson correlation analysis showed technology acceptance was correlated with eHealth literacy(P＜0.05).Hierarchical regression analysis confirmed that attitudinal beliefs,control beliefs,gerontechnology anxiety,and education level were influencing factors of eHealth literacy.Conclusion:The eHealth literacy of elderly patients with coronary artery disease is at a low level.Attitudinal beliefs,control beliefs,and education level can positively predict eHealth literacy,and gerontechnology anxiety can negatively predict eHealth literacy.It is suggested that nursing staff can improve patients'eHealth literacy level by improving technology acceptance.
