Abstract

Purpose: To qualitatively analyse English-language Facebook comments pertaining to amber necklaces, aiming to explore user experiences, perceptions, and beliefs.

Methods: A sample of 1000 comments, totalling 2309 sentences, was collected via CrowdTangle. Sociodemographic details and the time elapsed since comment were also recorded. Using QDAMiner software, a single investigator manually performed deductive content analysis, categorising each sentence based on a predefined list from the "Seeking Health-Related Information Online" model. WordStat software was employed to assess word clouds and cluster analyses.

Results: The majority of comments originated from white users (88.5%), females (92%), and residents of the United Kingdom (35.8%). Key terms included "teething," "amber," "baby," and "love," with "teething" central in four identified clusters on the main map. Predominantly, sentences were categorised as "information is useful or potentially useful" (25.29%) and "positive experiences from using the amber necklace" (17.11%). Over time, there was an increase in comments categorised as "receiver's doubts related to information" and "acquisition or intention to acquire the necklace." Conversely, comments related to safety concerns, fear of accidents, dentist contraindication, and information quality decreased.

Conclusion: Facebook users actively engage with amber necklace content, frequently sharing positive experiences and recommending its use to other parents. Notably, concerns about associated risks appeared to diminish over time.

对 Facebook 上有关琥珀磨牙项链评论的研究：对公众看法的洞察。

目的：对Facebook上有关琥珀项链的英文评论进行定性分析，旨在探索用户的体验、看法和信念：方法：通过 CrowdTangle 收集了 1000 条评论样本，共计 2309 个句子。同时还记录了社会人口详情和评论后的时间。一名调查人员使用 QDAMiner 软件手动进行演绎式内容分析，根据 "在线寻求健康相关信息 "模型中的预定义列表对每个句子进行分类。WordStat 软件用于评估词云和聚类分析：大多数评论来自白人用户（88.5%）、女性用户（92%）和英国居民（35.8%）。关键词语包括 "出牙期"、"琥珀"、"婴儿 "和 "爱"，其中 "出牙期 "在主图上被确定为四个聚类的中心词。句子主要分为 "信息有用或可能有用"（25.29%）和 "使用琥珀项链的积极体验"（17.11%）。随着时间的推移，被归类为 "接收者对信息的疑虑 "和 "购买或打算购买项链 "的评论有所增加。相反，与安全问题、担心意外、牙医禁忌和信息质量有关的评论则有所减少：Facebook 用户积极参与琥珀项链内容，经常分享正面经验并向其他父母推荐使用。值得注意的是，对相关风险的担忧似乎随着时间的推移而减少。

期刊介绍： The aim and scope of European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) is to promote research in all aspects of dentistry for children, including interceptive orthodontics and studies on children and young adults with special needs. The EAPD focuses on the publication and critical evaluation of clinical and basic science research related to children. The EAPD will consider clinical case series reports, followed by the relevant literature review, only where there are new and important findings of interest to Paediatric Dentistry and where details of techniques or treatment carried out and the success of such approaches are given.
