| contents | <p>Digital literacy has become increasingly important in healthcare settings to improve patient engagement and treatment adherence. In Guinea-Bissau, a country with limited access to digital resources, primary healthcare providers (PHPs) require training to utilise digital tools effectively. The study will involve designing and delivering a comprehensive digital literacy training course, assessing its effectiveness through pre- and post-training surveys, and evaluating treatment adherence rates among patients who use PHPs' services after programme completion. Quantitative data on patient engagement and treatment adherence will be analysed to determine the impact of the intervention. A preliminary analysis suggests that participation in the digital literacy programme significantly improved patient engagement with a mean increase of 15% (95% CI: 6-24%) compared to baseline levels. Treatment adherence rates also showed an upward trend, rising by approximately 8% among patients who received PHPs trained through the programme. The digital literacy programme demonstrated positive outcomes in both patient engagement and treatment adherence, indicating its potential as a viable strategy for improving healthcare delivery in Guinea-Bissau. Further research should explore long-term effects of the programme to ensure sustained improvements. Additionally, policymakers should consider integrating similar training programmes into existing health education curricula. digital literacy, primary healthcare providers, patient engagement, treatment adherence, Guinea-Bissau Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.</p> |
