Purpose : Health literacy, or the ability to find, understand, and use health information, is a key focus in South Korea’s ‘5th National Health Promotion Comprehensive Plan.’ However, despite South Korea’s high internet penetration, research on digital health information use among people with developmental disabilities is limited. This study assesses the current state of digital health literacy in this population. Methods : A survey was conducted on the people with disabilities and people without disabilities. General digital health information was measured using an 8-item scale by Skinner (2006), and COVID-19-related health information was assessed with a 10-item tool developed by the research team. A total of 365 responses were analyzed, comprising people with physical disabilities (189), developmental disabilities (82), and those without disabilities (94). Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 28, including MANOVA and descriptive statistics. Results : eHealth scores for individuals with developmental disabilities (24.6 ± 9.8) were significantly lower than those with physical disabilities (32.6 ± 7.9) and those without disabilities (33.9 ± 9.1). Similarly, Covid-eHealth scores were lower for individuals with developmental disabilities (24.6 ± 8.4) compared to those with physical disabilities (29.5 ± 6.8) and those without disabilities (31.3 ± 7.7). The differences in both cases were statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion : This study represents the first comprehensive examination of digital health literacy among people with developmental disabilities in South Korea. The findings indicate that while this group has lower digital health literacy, appropriate education and support can improve their skills. Thisunderscores the need for policies and support systems to ensure they can access and effectively usedigital health information, especially as healthcare becomes more digital.
