Health Technologies Readiness in Breast Cancer Patients

The READHY tool consists of 70 questions divided into three sections, one with a focus on eHealth literacy, one on self-management and one on the social context. The READHY consists of the eHealth Literacy Questionnaire (eHLQ) that includes seven scales, supplemented with four scales from the Health Education Impact Questionnaire (heiQ) and two scales from the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ). The READHY tool has been validated. Each question presented to the participant as a statement and scored on a 4-point rating, from 1=strongly disagree to 4=strongly agree. The overall score of each scale was calculated as the mean score of the 4-6 items (i.e., statements) that constitute the scale (2).
