Abstract

In this study, we focused on posting frequency and quality of exercise and physical activity content in Facebook. We sought to (1) explore the frequency of exercise and physical activity topics posted on specialized Breast Cancer channels and (2) evaluate the quality of these information. Evaluations of informations quality were performed independently by two sports and exercise experts, with previous breast cancer physical activity experience, using the DISCERN instrument. Despite of almost one hundred Facebook pages about Breast Cancer, only six are explicitly dedicated to physical activity and exercise and those pages do not have a significant numbers of likes. It shows that there is no specialized and focused serious initiative on Facebook looking for improve Breast Cancer educational levels about exercise and motivating them to engage in a physical activity lifestyle. There are very few, and low quality posts about exercise and physical activity for breast cancer showing that less importance tan it need has been given to this topic.

关于乳腺癌Facebook页面中身体活动的信息质量:初步内容回顾

在这项研究中，我们关注的是在Facebook上发布锻炼和体育活动内容的频率和质量。我们试图(1)探索在专门的乳腺癌频道上发布的锻炼和体育活动主题的频率，(2)评估这些信息的质量。信息质量的评估由两名运动和锻炼专家独立完成，他们之前有乳腺癌的身体活动经验，使用DISCERN仪器。尽管Facebook上有近100个关于乳腺癌的页面，但只有6个页面明确致力于体育活动和锻炼，而且这些页面的赞数也不多。这表明，Facebook上没有专门的、集中的、严肃的倡议来寻求提高乳腺癌关于运动的教育水平，并激励他们从事体育活动的生活方式。关于运动和体育活动对乳腺癌的影响的帖子很少，质量也很低，这表明人们对这个话题的重视程度没有达到应有的水平。
