Abstract

Uvod i cilj istraživanja: Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati roditelje djece oboljele od
malignih bolesti o učestalosti pretraživanja zdravstvenih informacija putem Interneta.
Ispitanici i metode: Istraživanje je provedeno na prigodnom uzorku 50 roditelja u
KBC-u Zagreb kroz tri mjeseca 2023. godine. Podaci su prikupljeni upitnikom „Javno
pretraživanje zdravstvenih informacija putem Interneta“ i analizirani su metodama
deskriptivne statistike, na razni značajnosti P<0,05.
Rezultati: Više od polovine ih pretražuje Internet u potrazi za zdravstvenim
informacijama (N=38), najčešće manje od pet puta mjesečno (N=18). Više
povjerenja imaju majke, oni sa SSS, nezaposleni te oni čija su djeca na terapiji
održavanja. Više ih primjenjuju bez konzultacije s liječnikom, majke, oni sa SSS,
zaposleni i čija su djeca usred postupka liječenja. Značajno manje su zadovoljniji
informacijama pronađenima na Internetu nego s onima koje su dobili od liječnika i
medicinskih sestara/tehničara (P<0,001). Nema značajne povezanost između
učestalosti pretraživanja i zadovoljstva informacijama koje dobivaju od liječnika (r =
0,052) ili medicinske sestre/tehničara (r = -0,150).
Zaključak: Rezultati su pokazali da roditelji koji nisu zadovoljni dobivenim
informacijama od liječnika i medicinskih sestara/tehničara nisu skloniji pretraživanju
istih na Internetu. Edukacija treba biti usmjerena prema valjanim izvorima informacija
s ciljem poboljšanja skrbi za djecu s malignim bolestima.

Abstract (english)

Introduction and the aim: To examine parents of children with malignant diseases
about frequancy of searching health information on Internet.
Subjects and methods: The reaserch was conducted on random sample of 50 parents
at University Hospital Centre Zagreb for three months in 2023. Data were collected
using questionnaire „Internet use by the public to search for health-related information“.
Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics methods, statistical significance was
set on P<0.05.
Results: More than a half of parents search Internet for health information (N=38),
usually less then five times a month (N=18). Mothers, unemployed parents, those with
high school education and those with children on maintenance therapy trust more in
health information found on Internet. Mothers, high school educated, employed and
those with children in the middle of the treatment are more likely to apply them without
consultation with physician. Respondents are significaly less satisfied with information
found on Internet compared to those recieved from physicians and nurses. No
significant relationship was found between frequency of Internet searching and
satisfaction with information recieved from physicians (r=0.052) or nurses (r=-0.150).
Conclusion: The results shows that parents who are not satisfied with information from
doctors and nurses wouldn't search it more frequently on Internet. Education should
be directed towards valid sources of information in order to improve care for children
with malignant diseases.
