Abstract

Background: Patient-targeted Googling (PTG) is the use of Internet search engines by care professionals to source information about their patients. Objective: To thematically analyse research evidence on PTG and explain what, why and how it can be used for the benefit of patient care. Methods: The Scale for the Assessment of Narrative Review articles was used as a reporting tool. Studies were identified via AMED, CINAHL, MEDLINE and APA PsycInfo, ProQuest, and grey literature via Google Scholar. Results: 19 studies were included, and content was thematically analysed. Themes included practitioner behaviours, attitudes and experience, the nature of online information, when PTG is not acceptable, when, why and how is PTG acceptable and the need for education and training on PTG. Discussion & conclusion: In the absence of professional guidance, it makes practical recommendations about why and in what circumstances can use patient-targeted Googling for the benefit of patient care.

医疗和社会护理专业人员何时以及在何种情况下可以接受以患者为目标的谷歌搜索?叙事回顾与主题分析。
背景:以患者为目标的谷歌搜索(Patient-targeted Googling,PTG)是指护理专业人员使用互联网搜索引擎来获取有关患者的信息。目的对有关 PTG 的研究证据进行专题分析,并解释 PTG 的用途、原因以及如何使用 PTG 为患者提供护理服务。方法使用叙事性评论文章评估量表作为报告工具。通过AMED、CINAHL、MEDLINE和APA PsycInfo、ProQuest以及谷歌学术(Google Scholar)的灰色文献对研究进行鉴定。结果共纳入 19 项研究,并对研究内容进行了主题分析。主题包括从业人员的行为、态度和经验,在线信息的性质,何时不接受 PTG,何时、为何及如何接受 PTG,以及对 PTG 教育和培训的需求。讨论与结论:在缺乏专业指导的情况下,本报告就为什么以及在什么情况下可以使用以患者为目标的谷歌搜索来促进患者护理提出了切实可行的建议。
