Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine the factors of online information seeking on healthcare providers in Russian adults. Material and Methods — Our online survey involved 1,319 participants and regarded their sociodemographic and health-related characteristics, along with online information seeking on healthcare providers. The association of factors to online information seeking on healthcare providers was examined via Pearson’s chi-squared test. The odds ratios for determined predictors of online information seeking were obtained from multiple logistic regression model fitted to the data. Results — Majority of Russian adults – 58.6% (95% CI: 55.9%-61.2%) – used the Internet to collect information on healthcare providers. The most rigorous online information seeking on healthcare providers was exhibited by females (OR: 1.951, p<0.001), adults with graduate degrees (OR: 2.870, p=0.036), adults using the Internet more often (OR: 2.623, p<0.001), adults with two or more chronic diseases (OR: 1.699, p=0.005), and those who had 7 or more medical appointments during the last year preceding the survey (OR: 2.438, p=0.002). However, the age of participants was not significantly associated with online information seeking on healthcare providers (p=0.922). No statistical difference was found between those residing in rural, suburban, and urban areas (p=0.518). Conclusion — Sociodemographic and health-related factors affect patients in terms of their online information seeking on healthcare providers. The current demand for online information on healthcare providers existing in various groups highlights the need to increase patient engagement and empower the less active among them.

俄罗斯成人医疗保健提供者在线信息搜索的社会人口学和健康相关预测因素

本研究的目的是检验俄罗斯成年人在线寻求医疗保健提供者信息的因素。材料和方法——我们的在线调查涉及1319名参与者，并考虑了他们的社会人口统计学和健康相关特征，以及寻求医疗保健提供者的在线信息。通过皮尔逊卡方检验检验了各因素与医疗保健提供者在线信息寻求的相关性。通过拟合数据的多元逻辑回归模型获得确定的在线信息搜索预测因子的优势比。结果——大多数俄罗斯成年人——58.6%（95%CI:55.9%-61.2%）——使用互联网收集医疗保健提供者的信息。女性（OR:1.951，p<0.001）、拥有研究生学位的成年人（OR:2.870，p=0.036）、更经常使用互联网的成年人（OR:2.623，p<0.001）和患有两种或两种以上慢性病的成年人（OR:1.699，p=0.005）在网上寻求医疗保健提供者的信息最为严格，以及在调查前一年内有7次或7次以上医疗预约的人（or:2.438，p=0.002）。然而，参与者的年龄与在医疗保健提供者上寻求在线信息没有显著关联（p=0.922）。居住在农村、郊区、，和城市地区（p=0.518）。结论——社会地理和健康相关因素影响患者在医疗保健提供者上寻求在线信息。目前对不同群体中存在的医疗保健提供者在线信息的需求突出表明，需要提高患者参与度，并赋予其中不太活跃的人权力。
