Abstract
This study was conducted to understand the trends in domestic research on e-Health literacy which is considered a key strategy for achieving health equity, and to propose future practical research directions related to e-Health literacy. The research methodology employed a scoping review based on the methodological framework of Arskey & O'Malley. Six electronic databases were utilized to target domestic research published until June 2023, and 63 studies were analysed. The results indicated an increasing trend in domestic research on e-Health literacy since 2010, with a focus on quantitative research designs and studies targeting the adult population. E-Health literacy was predominantly measured using a modified version of Norman & Skinner's eHEALS. The most frequently cited related variables included age, educational level, and economic status. Health behaviors were confirmed as a major outcome variable influenced by e-Health literacy. To promote health behavior and health equity, future research should focus on e-Health literacy capabilities and health information vulnerable populations such as the elderly and multicultural groups.
