摘要

摘要本研究旨在检查瑞典生育诊所网站上关于男性不育症的在线信息是否可读、合适和质量合适。采用横截面设计，采用材料适用性评估(SAM)和DISCERN工具对22家男性不育诊所网站进行评估。结果表明，关注男性不育症的信息很少，但具有“足够”的可读性，易于理解。结论是，网站上的信息必须是可靠的，这样男性就可以根据可靠的事实做出有关生育问题的选择。保健专业人员开发有关男性不育症的高质量信息来源是很重要的。

Male Infertility Information on Swedish Fertility Clinics’ Websites: An Evaluation of Readability, Suitability, and Quality

Abstract This study was conducted to examine whether online information regarding male infertility on Swedish fertility clinics’ websites was readable, suitable, and of appropriate quality. A cross-sectional design was used to evaluate 22 fertility clinics’ websites focusing on male infertility by using the Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM), and the DISCERN instrument. Results showed that information focusing on male infertility was scanty but had an “adequate” readability and was easy to comprehend. The conclusion was that the information on the websites must be reliable, so that men can base their choices concerning their fertility issues on reliable facts. It is important that health care professionals develop high quality sources of information regarding male infertility.

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."
