Internet and social media preferences of orthopaedic patients vary according to factors such as age and education levels
© 2023 Health Libraries Group..
BACKGROUND: Patients can often access the internet and social media for health information but it is not clear how much they trust and use the information retrieved.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the social media and internet use rates and preferences of orthopaedic patients, to reveal to what extent they self-treat, and to probe the affecting factors.
METHODS: Two thousand fifty-eight patients admitted to an orthopaedic polyclinic were asked to fill out a survey (voluntarily) consisting of 15 items, to collect demographic data, preference for platforms and sources used, trusted sources, and the extent to which information obtained was used for self-care.
RESULTS: The most preferred and most trusted sources of information were Google and other search engines, and physicians' personal websites (p < 0.001).
DISCUSSION: Variables such as age, gender, educational level and occupation affect the research preferences. Reliance on social media decreases with increasing educational levels (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: Health information and knowledge services should work with health professionals to improve aspects of health literacy among orthopaedic patients.
