Abstract:This study’s aim was to examine nurses’ current practices and their attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, and intentions regarding recognising and supporting patients with low (digital) health literacy and to investigate the impact of these factors in explaining nurses’ intentions to recognise and support these patients. Data was collected with an online survey in which 167 nurses participated. The data was analysed by looking at the constructs’ frequencies and by conducting Spearman correlational analyses as well as multiple regression analyses. Results showed that nurses currently do not recognise and support their patients with low (digital) health literacy much. Nurses’ attitudes were predominantly positive. Nurses’ attitudes and subjective norms were the strongest predictors of nurses’ intentions. The results could guide the development of training modules for nurses to provide them with the skills they need to empower their patients with low (digital) health literacy. For future research, it is advised to investigate the intention-behaviour gap identified in this study and to use another theory or an extension of the Theory of Planned Behaviour.
