Abstract

Abstract Objective To identify levels of bowel cancer information overload and associated predictors. Methods A cross-sectional online survey of Tasmanians ≥18 years measured bowel cancer information overload using a modified Cancer Information Overload Scale. Descriptive statistics summarized participants’ demographic and information overload data; linear regression investigated information overload predictors. Results The analysis included 3,701 Tasmanians (75.8% female). Above 50% of participants disagreed/strongly disagreed with the statements favoring information overload. Significant predictors of bowel cancer information overload included current smokers, body mass index, lower educational attainment, and living less rurally. Conclusion In this study bowel cancer information overload was associated with lower educational attainment, current smokers, higher body mass index, and living less rurally.

对肠癌信息过载的认知:一项横断面研究

摘要目的确定癌症信息超负荷水平及相关预测因素。方法采用改良的癌症信息过载量表，对≥18岁的塔斯马尼亚人进行横断面在线调查，测量肠道癌症信息过载。描述性统计汇总了参与者的人口统计和信息过载数据；线性回归研究了信息过载预测因子。结果分析包括3701名塔斯马尼亚人（女性占75.8%）。超过50%的参与者不同意/强烈不同意支持信息过载的说法。肠道癌症信息过载的重要预测因素包括当前吸烟者、体重指数、教育程度较低和农村生活较少。结论在这项研究中，癌症信息过载与受教育程度低、目前吸烟、体重指数高和农村生活少有关。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet is the only professional peer-reviewed journal devoted to locating consumer health information via the Internet. In this journal librarians and health information providers describe programs and services aimed at helping patients and the general public find the health information they need. From the Editor: "Studies have shown that health information is one of the major reasons that people worldwide access the Internet. As the amount of health information on the Web increases exponentially, it becomes critical that librarians-including public and medical librarians-be knowledgeable about what is available online and be able to direct users to reliable, accurate, quality information."
