Abstract

This study examines the impact of electronic health literacy and digital well-being on cyberchondria in early adulthood aged 18-25 years. Cyberchondria refers to anxiety caused by searching for health information online. Electronic health literacy (e-health literacy) involves using technology and the internet to manage and improve health, while digital well-being pertains to an individual’s overall well-being when using digital technologies. The method used in this study was quantitative with a sample of 185 people aged 18-25 years from Banten Province. It used the Cyberchondria Short Version (CVP), Electronic Health Literacy Scale (eHeals), and Digital Well-Being Scale (DWBS) to collect data. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to find the relationship between electronic health literacy and digital wellbeing in influencing cyberchondria. The results revealed a significant relationship between electronic health literacy, digital well-being, and cyberchondria, with a significance level of <0.001. The independent variables contributed 33.3% to the dependent variable. The regression equation, Y = -10.893 + 0.726X1 + 0.644X2, indicates that as electronic health literacy and digital well-being increase, cyberchondria tends to decrease and vice versa, when electronic health literacy decreases, cyberchondria will increase. The hypothesis in this study was accepted, and there was a significant influence of e-health literacy and digital well-being on cyberchondria. One-Way ANOVA tests were conducted to determine whether there were differences in technological access and gender in influencing cyberchondria. These results proved inconclusive, and it can be explained that there was no difference between high and low technology access or between male and female gender in influencing cyberchondria.

ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari tahu mengenai pengaruh dari electronic health literacy dan digital well-being terhadap cyberchondria pada dewasa awal berusia 18-25 tahun. Cyberchondria mengacu pada kecemasan yang disebabkan oleh pencarian informasi kesehatan daring. Literasi kesehatan elektronik (e-health literacy) melibatkan penggunaan teknologi dan internet untuk mengelola dan meningkatkan kesehatan, sementara kesejahteraan digital berkaitan dengan kesejahteraan individu secara keseluruhan saat menggunakan teknologi digital. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif dengan sampel 185 orang berusia 18-25 tahun dari Provinsi Banten. Penelitian ini menggunakan instrumen Cyberchondria Short Version (CVP), Electronic Health Literacy Scale (eHeals), dan Digital Well-Being Scale (DWBS) untuk mengumpulkan data. Analisis regresi linier berganda dilakukan untuk menemukan hubungan antara literasi kesehatan elektronik dan kesejahteraan digital dalam memengaruhi cyberchondria. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan antara literasi kesehatan elektronik, kesejahteraan digital, dan cyberchondria, dengan tingkat signifikansi <0,001. Persamaan regresi, Y = -10,893 + 0,726X1 + 0,644X2, menunjukkan bahwa saat terjadi peningkatan literasi kesehatan elektronik dan kesejahteraan digital, cyberchondria cenderung menurun dan begitupun sebaliknya, saat terjadi penurunan literasi kesehatan elektronik dan kesejahteraan digital maka cyberchondria akan meningkat. Hipotesis dalam penelitian ini diterima, dan terdapat pengaruh signifikan antara literasi kesehatan elektronik dan kesejahteraan digital terhadap cyberchondria. Uji ANOVA satu jalur juga dilakukan pada penelitian untuk menentukan apakah terdapat perbedaan akses teknologi dan jenis kelamin dalam memengaruhi cyberchondria. Hasil ini tidak terbukti, dan dapat dijelaskan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan antara akses teknologi tinggi dan rendah atau antara jenis kelamin laki-laki dan perempuan dalam memengaruhi cyberchondria.
