Nurses access online content to build their own knowledge base, to share resources with patients and their families during the hospital stay, and to refer them to resources they might want to read on their own. Richer understanding of nurses’ experiences using the Internet to educate patients can help librarians develop and promote more effective materials. In this qualitative study, a librarian interviewed ten nurses about their experiences providing patient education. Three themes emerged: teaching as a constant process, teaching as personal and individual, and teaching as social.","PeriodicalId":44184,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet","volume":"26 1","pages":"199 - 206"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45003157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective This study endeavored to elucidate COVID-19 information needs and information-seeking behaviors of cardiovascular patients hospitalized in the hospitals of Isfahan, Iran. Methods This qualitative study was conducted using content analysis in 2020. The population was 17 cardiovascular patients referred to the Shahid Chamran Hospital of Isfahan, who were selected using the purposive sampling method. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and analyzed through continuous thematic analysis. Results The findings showed four categories and ten sub-categories as follows: information needs (general information regarding COVID-19, prevention methods, and treatment methods), information resources (reliable information resources and unreliable information resources), information validation (using formal and informal resources), and information-seeking barriers (media-related, political, economical, and COVID-19-related barriers). Conclusion Cardiovascular patients are in serious need of awareness-raising concerning COVID-19 to take care of themselves. This study’s results could help health education policy-makers of Iran pinpoint the information needs of high-risk patients and provide these patients access to reliable information while preventing damages due to misinformation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":44184,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet","volume":"26 1","pages":"171 - 185"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48768073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Five orthodontic-related “hashtags” were searched, and a total of 250 video posts were reviewed. Non-English and inappropriate content/quality posts were excluded from the study. The videos were evaluated by using Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information (DISCERN) toolkit and Global Quality Scale (GQS). Most of the posts were posted by dental professionals (68 posts; 55%), followed by dental clinics (23 posts; 19%), layperson (18 posts; 15%), and technician/dental laboratories (13 posts; 11%). The mean DISCERN score (section 1 + section 2) for 122 posts was 38.7/75. The mean overall quality of the 122 posts (section 3) in the DISCERN toolkit was 3.15/5. The average GQS score of 122 posts was 3.18 ± 0.93. The DISCERN and GQS scores did not have significant differences among the groups (p > 0.05). The DISCERN and GQS results of evaluated TikTok video posts were moderate quality. DISCERN and GQS scores did not differ significantly between the groups. Orthodontists should warn their patients about the reliability of information on social media platforms and should guide them to the right resources.","PeriodicalId":44184,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet","volume":"26 1","pages":"146 - 156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44533425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jivanelli","doi":"10.1080/15398285.2022.2068914","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15398285.2022.2068914","url":null,"abstract":"David B. Goldstein is the John E. Borne Professor of Genetics and Development and director of the Institute for Genomic Medicine at Columbia University Medical Center. In his new book, The End of Genetics: Designing Humanity’s DNA, Goldstein emphasizes the need for more extensive understanding of the underlying sciences of genetics by the general public. Parents will soon be able to decide on the genetic makeup of their children in both large and small ways. These decisions will lead to a new kind of genetics and Goldstein’s goal is to empower non-scientists to be a part of these changes. The book is divided into 5 chapters The Future of Reproduction; Learning to Read the Human Genome; The Nature of Human Genetic Variation; DNA and Human Disease; and Writing the Genomes of Our Children – concluding with notes, a bibliography and index. Goldstein includes a brief history of genetics, thought experiments for the reader, and examples of genome mutations in real individuals. Goldstein is cognizant of his reader – reassuring them as begins a more complex topic that he will be returning to easier to understand information. While he takes the time to define these complex topics and words, the reader does need to have some awareness of scientific language. He also recognizes that some readers may be more familiar with genetics and offers alternative reading suggestions. While much of what is discussed in the book can be considered eugenics, Goldstein is sensitive to the negative connotation and makes the decision to refer to it as reproducted genome design. He points out when he is sharing his personal opinion versus facts – which are well detailed in his notes and bibliography. Genetics research has moved faster than expected and there are gaps in knowledge that make it difficult for scientists to anticipate the consequences of our actions. By empowering non-scientists to understand the underlying science, Goldstein hopes to lead parents to make informed decisions that will impact the future of our species. Goldstein has done a good job making a complicated and potentially overwhelming topic accessible to a broader audience. This book is recommended for all libraries with public health collections.","PeriodicalId":44184,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet","volume":"26 1","pages":"232 - 233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47710181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the lack of research on the psychometric properties of CCS-12 and the lack of appropriate tools cyberchondria measurement in Iran, this study was conducted to examine the psychometric properties of of the Iranian version of the CSS-12 (short-form). A convenience sample of 420 students (191 men, and 229 females) from Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences were selected to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Cyberchondria Severity Scale (CSS-12). The participants also completed the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II), Whiteley Index, Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7). LISREL 8 and SPSS-24 were used to analyze data. Cronbach’s alpha, divergent and convergent validity and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted as well. The four-factor structure of CSS-12 (excessiveness, distress, reassurance and compulsion) was supported by the results of Confirmatory Factor Analysis in the Iranian sample. The CSS-12 had positive and significant correlations with health anxiety, intolerance of uncertainty, and GAD-7. Furthermore, the CSS-12 had a negative and significant correlation with the AAQ-II. In general, the four-factor structure of CSS-12 demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties among the Iranian sample. CSS-12 has appropriate psychometric properties for use in research and clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":44184,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet","volume":"26 1","pages":"131 - 145"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44096993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
