چکیده

مقدمه: زنان باردار برای رفع نیازهای اطلاعاتی خود از اینترنت بهره می‌گیرند. به دلیل وجود اطلاعات متناقض در فضای وب و افزایش اضطراب و اثرات منفی ناشی از آن بر رشد جنین و سلامت مادر، اهمیت جستجوی آنلاین اطلاعات سلامت آشکار می‌شود. بنابراین، هدف از انجام پژوهش حاضر، تعیین رفتار جستجوی آنلاین اطلاعات سلامت در زنان باردار مراجعه‌کننده به بیمارستان الزهرا (س) شهر اهواز بود.روش بررسی: این مطالعه به روش پیمایشی انجام شد. جامعه تحقیق را زنان باردار مراجعه‌کننده به بیمارستان الزهرا (س) شهر اهواز در سال 1398 تشکیل داد. بر اساس فرمول Cochran، حجم نمونه 357 نفر محاسبه گردید و به روش در دسترس انتخاب شدند. ابزار پژوهش، پرسش‌نامه محقق ساخته بود که نسخه اولیه آن با 34 سؤال تهیه شد. داده‌های به دست آمده با استفاده از آزمون همبستگی و تحلیل رگرسیون مورد تجزیه و تحلیل قرار گرفت.یافته‌ها: جستجوی آنلاین اطلاعات سلامت در میان زنان باردار شرکت‌کننده با میانگین بالاتر از 3 در همه مؤلفه‌های مورد بررسی، مطلوب گزارش گردید. متغیرهای سهولت، اعتماد و سودمندی در سطح بالاتر از 50 درصد، تبیین‌کننده نگرش و در نهایت، جستجوی اطلاعات سلامت در میان زنان باردار بود.نتیجه‌گیری: زنان باردار مشارکت‌کننده در خصوص جستجوی آنلاین اطلاعات سلامت نیازهای اطلاعاتی یکسانی با سایر زنان در پژوهش‌های داخلی و خارجی دارند. بالا بودن میزان اعتماد به اطلاعات اینترنتی، لزوم توجه به آموزش سلامت و سواد اطلاعات سلامت در دوره بارداری توسط مراکز بهداشتی را بیش از پیش آشکار می‌سازد.

The study population consisted of pregnant women referring to Fatemeh Alzahra hospital in year 2019. Based on Cochran's formula, a sample size of 357 people was calculated. The research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire; the initial version of it was prepared with 34 questions. Research data were analyzed using correlation test and regression analysis.Results: Health information seeking behavior among the studied pregnant women was desirable, with an average of higher than 3 in all variables. The variables of convenience, trust, and usefulness at the level of more than 50% explained the attitude and ultimately the search for health information among pregnant women.Conclusion: The pregnant women of current study had the same information needs as other women in domestic and foreign research.
