Résumé	The Online Social Support Scale measures the perceived availability and quality of emotional, informational, and practical support received through digital channels—social media, online communities, forums, messaging apps, and digital platforms. Developed by Vilelas and Tomás (2011) for patients with chronic illness and refined by Nick and colleagues (2017), the scale recognizes that social support increasingly flows through digital networks, particularly for geographically dispersed, stigmatized, or medically complex populations who benefit from asynchronous, text-based support.	The eHealth Literacy Scale measures individuals' ability to seek, find, understand, and appraise health information from electronic sources and apply that knowledge to health decision-making. Developed by Norman and Skinner in 2006, it assesses functional, communicative, and critical digital health literacy competencies essential for navigating modern health technologies and online medical information.
