Overview

Qualitative study identifies digital health literacy training needs for cancer care professionals, suggesting essential priorities.

Key Points

  • The aim is to identify and prioritize digital health literacy training needs among oncology professionals in Europe.
  • Conducted two workshops using Nominal Group Technique (NGT) for qualitative analysis.
  • Involved 44 participants with varied expertise in oncology and digital health, with a focus on non-clinical and clinical professionals.
  • Recommendations generated were analyzed descriptively and thematically.
  • Five key training priorities emerged: ethics in digital tools usage; integration of telemedicine; development of user-friendly training interfaces; addressing the digital divide; and the need for continuous training.
  • Emphasis on ethical considerations, especially regarding data protection and user trust.
  • Training should be adaptable for diverse populations, especially those in rural or low-resource areas.
