Objective:

To investigate the relationship between health technology readiness and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) among people with preference-sensitive neurological conditions, and to assess the role of self-efficacy as a mediator.

Approach:

Key Findings:

• Digital health literacy (DHL) is positively associated with patient engagement in digital health services for chronic disease self-management.
• Self-efficacy is a significant mediator between health technology readiness and HR-QoL.
• Social support and self-management skills are related to both self-efficacy and HR-QoL.

Interpretation:

Limitations:

• The study's cross-sectional design limits the ability to establish causality.
• Responses were collected from a specific population in Finland, which may affect generalizability.

Conclusion:
