|
Objectives: This study aims to assess dental hygienists’ level of digital literacy and its effect on occupational self-efficacy and organizational commitment.
Methods: The online survey results, obtained from 307 respondents, were statistically analyzed using frequency analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis with the IBM SPSS 20.0 software.
Results: The factors affecting the technology portion of digital literacy included age (P ＜0.001), years in career (P ＜0.001), number of personnel in workplace (P =0.009), level of education (P =0.001), region of workplace (P =0.002), and form of workplace (P =0.021). The factors affecting the application portion of digital literacy included age (P ＜0.001), years in career (P =0.009), and number of personnel in the workplace (P =0.008). The level of occupational self-efficacy positively affected the technology portion of digital literacy, while organizational commitment positively affectedthe technology portion and negatively affected the application portion of digital literacy.
Conclusions: Although this study has limitations, it carries significance as a survey of dental hygienists’ digital literacy standing. To adapt to and function in the current society of digital informatics, ongoing education and research on digital literacy are warranted.
