This study aims to examine the relationships between digital health literacy, diabetes distress, diabetes self-management, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The relationships between these variables will also be evaluated after controlling for relevant sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. The findings may contribute to a better understanding of factors associated with diabetes management and inform future nursing education and counseling interventions.

Digital Health Literacy Instrument (DHLI)
Digital health literacy will be assessed using the Digital Health Literacy Instrument (DHLI). The instrument measures participants' ability to access, understand, evaluate, and use health-related information obtained through digital technologies. The DHLI score will be calculated according to the scoring guidelines of the version used in the study. Higher scores indicate higher digital health literacy, according to the instrument's scoring method.
