Summary
<p>Health is an important concept and practice for human and community life. The importance of human health has led to the development of health science as well as the health sector, supported by large investments. The fact that health science and the health sector are so advanced and continue to develop rapidly brings the health profession and health knowledge to a remarkable position due to its privileges and responsibilities. The necessity of making health information meaningful for everyone brings the concept of health literacy to the agenda. Internet and new communication technologies have profoundly affected the field of health as well as all areas of life. In the contemporary world, new communication technologies and new media are also used extensively by the health sector. The digitalization of health services results in the transformation of the concept of health literacy into the concept of e-health literacy. This study focuses on e-health literacy, which refers to the evolution of health literacy in parallel with the digital world. Within the scope of this conceptual study, e-health literacy is addressed based on the concept of e-health and is discussed with a descriptive perspective within the framework of its definition, scope, and historical development. It is thought that the study is important because the concept of e-health literacy is a relatively new concept and will contribute to the literature in terms of shedding light on future studies.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Health, E-health, Health Literacy, E-health Literacy, New Media, Digital Health Literacy.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
