Population-based survey assessed eHealth literacy in elective open-heart surgery patients, indicating disparities alongside sociodemographic factors.

  • Younger age and higher educational level were linked to higher eHealth literacy scores among participants.
  • The survey involved 313 participants, revealing insight into eHealth literacy across relevant sociodemographic factors.
  • Individual assessment is needed to ensure equitable access to digital health solutions, particularly among varied literacy levels.
