简要总结
Purpose This study is a randomized controlled experimental trial aiming to evaluate the effects of mentoring-based digital literacy training delivered by young migrants on older migrants' eHealth literacy and their ability to seek and verify health information in digital environments. The study will be conducted among young and older Ahiska Turkish migrants living in the Üzümlü district of Erzincan province.
Method The study will be conducted in two phases. In the first phase, young migrants will receive digital literacy training that includes mentoring skills. In the second phase, these individuals will provide training to older migrants.
The sample size has been determined based on a power analysis and will consist of a total of 80 participants. Data will be collected using the eHealth Literacy Scale and the Digital Health Information Seeking and Verification Scale. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software, and appropriate parametric and/or non-parametric tests will be applied.
Training sessions will be conducted in controlled environments, in small groups, and tailored to participants' needs. Participant follow-up will be maintained throughout the process to support the sustainability of the intervention.
Research Hypotheses Primary Hypothesis
- H0: Mentoring-based digital literacy training delivered by young migrants has no effect on older migrants' levels of eHealth literacy and digital literacy.
- H1: Mentoring-based digital literacy training delivered by young migrants has a significant effect on older migrants' levels of eHealth literacy and digital literacy.
Secondary Hypothesis
- H0: Mentoring-based digital literacy training delivered by young migrants has no effect on older migrants' eHealth literacy levels.
- H2: Mentoring-based digital literacy training delivered by young migrants has a significant effect on older migrants' eHealth literacy levels.
Third Hypothesis
- H0: Mentoring-based digital literacy training delivered by young migrants has no effect on older migrants' digital literacy levels.
- H3: Mentoring-based digital literacy training delivered by young migrants has a significant effect on older migrants' digital literacy levels.

研究组 & 干预措施
MEDOYE
Participants in the experimental group will receive a mentoring-based digital literacy training program delivered by young migrants. The intervention will consist of nine sessions conducted twice a week, each lasting 45-90 minutes. The training will include mentoring skills development, digital literacy education, and interactive teaching methods such as role-playing, demonstrations, and small group discussions. Participants will practice mentoring in pairs, with role switching and partner changes across sessions. After each session, young participants will provide digital literacy support to older migrants in their households. Pre- and post-test assessments will be conducted using the eHealth Literacy Scale and the Digital Health Information Seeking and Verification Scale.

结局指标
主要结局
eHealth Literacy Scale
时间窗: Baseline and 6 weeks after intervention
This scale was developed by C. Norman and H. Skinner in 2006 to measure eHealth literacy. The Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Tamer Gencer in 2017. The eHealth Literacy Scale consists of 8 items. A 5-point Likert-type scale is used for scoring the items, ranging from "strongly disagree," "disagree," "neutral," "agree," to "strongly agree." The total score obtained from the scale reflects the participant's level of eHealth literacy. The minimum possible score is 8, and the maximum score is 40. Higher scores indicate a higher level of eHealth literacy. The internal consistency reliability coefficient of the scale was calculated as 0.86.
