Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This cross-sectional observational study aimed to assess electronic health literacy and artificial intelligence literacy among individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome, with particular focus on artificial intelligence literacy. Although general health literacy has been investigated in this patient population, digital and artificial intelligence-related competencies have not been sufficiently studied. The research included 106 individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome and 106 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers, recruited between December 2024 and May 2025. All participants completed a series of standardized questionnaires, including the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, the Electronic Health Literacy Scale, and the Artificial Intelligence Literacy Scale. The study explored demographic, clinical, and psychological factors associated with digital and artificial intelligence literacy levels among both patient and control groups.
