Does an online hip fracture resource center improve caregiver knowledge and eHealth literacy in caregivers of hip fracture patients?
p-value: p=0.004
A theory-based online resource center for caregivers of hip fracture patients is feasible and significantly improves caregiver knowledge and eHealth literacy.
Nahm et al. (2012) studied Caregivers of hip fracture patients (n=36). Online hip fracture resource center (OHRC) was evaluated on Caregivers' knowledge about the care of hip fracture patients (p=0.004). Use of an online hip fracture resource center for 8 weeks significantly improved caregivers' knowledge about hip fracture care (p=0.004) and eHealth literacy (p=0.002).
