| Background: Nursing staff’s attitudes and experiences have a great role in nursing digital health literacy, which is considered the keys to increasing the quality, accessibility, and affordability of health services for patients. Aim of the study: Assess the attitudes and experiences of nursing staff towards digital health literacy. Research Design: A descriptive-correlational research design was applied. Setting: El-Mahalla El-Kobra General Hospital in all inpatient departments and intensive care units. Subjects: A stratified proportional randomized sampling of nursing staff (n=260) who are working in the previously mentioned settings and available at the time of data collection. Tools of data collection: Three tools were used: the Digital Technology Use Questionnaire, Digital Health Literacy Attitudes Questionnaire, and Digital Health Literacy Experiences Questionnaire. Results: The study findings revealed that 63.80% of nursing staff had negative attitudes towards digital health literacy and 46.2% of them had an average level of experience in digital health literacy. Conclusion: There was a strong positive and statistically significant correlation between nursing staff’s attitudes and their experiences toward digital health literacy. Recommendations: Regularly assessing the digital competencies of nursing staff to tailor support and training programs to their actual needs and levels, as well as embedding digital health literacy into the nursing curricula of both undergraduate and graduate programs. | ||||
