Abstract

Background: Short videos are a way that parents get health information. It is unclear how people seek health information in short videos on musculoskeletal conditions in children.

Objective: To investigate the health information needs of parents of children with musculoskeletal disorders and to examine the factors that influence their perceptions of that information.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews with 14 parents were conducted, and the resulting interview data were analysed using qualitative content analysis based on the Comprehensive Model of Information Seeking (CMIS).

Results: In this study, we deepened and expanded the CMIS, and four dimensions influenced the perceived quality of health videos. In the 'antecedents' dimension, we subdivided it into four sub-themes: 'health status', 'direct experience', 'salience' and 'social support'. For the 'information carrier characteristics' dimension, we explored 'platform reputation', 'short video characteristics', 'information content characteristics' and 'creator characteristics' in detail. In the 'environmental influences' dimension, we focused on the sub-themes of 'short video traffic', 'others' evaluation' and 'multi-channel verification'.

Discussion: Parents tend to prefer searching for information on short videos. The quality of health information on short videos is primarily evaluated based on external features, which can increase their susceptibility to misinformation.

Conclusions: More short videos on musculoskeletal disorders in children are needed to meet parents' expectations. More effective and informative short videos could be designed based on the identified factors.

肌肉骨骼疾病儿童的父母如何使用短视频寻求健康信息和支持：一项定性研究。

背景：短视频是家长获取健康信息的一种方式。目前还不清楚人们是如何在儿童肌肉骨骼状况的短视频中寻找健康信息的。目的：了解骨骼肌疾病患儿家长的健康信息需求，并探讨影响其健康信息需求的因素。方法：对14名家长进行半结构化访谈，采用基于信息寻求综合模型（CMIS）的定性内容分析对访谈数据进行分析。结果：在本研究中，我们深化和扩展了CMIS，四个维度影响健康视频的感知质量。在“前因”维度中，我们将其细分为四个子主题：“健康状况”、“直接经验”、“突出性”和“社会支持”。在“信息载体特征”维度上，我们详细探讨了“平台口碑”、“短视频特征”、“信息内容特征”和“创作者特征”。在“环境影响”维度中，我们关注了“短视频流量”、“他人评估”和“多渠道验证”的子主题。讨论：家长更喜欢搜索短视频信息。短视频中健康信息的质量主要基于外部特征进行评估，这可能增加其对错误信息的敏感性。结论：需要更多关于儿童肌肉骨骼疾病的短视频来满足家长的期望。可以根据确定的因素设计更有效和信息丰富的短视频。
