Complex Health Problems

Masyarakat Cintaratu merupakan masyarakat pedesaan yang memiliki permasalahan kesehatan yang cukup kompleks. Permasalahan ini tidak lepas dari pengetahuan tentang infomasi kesehatan yang masih rendah. Dalam diseminasi informasi kesehatan yang efektif diperlukan suatu strategi yang tepat. Analisis situasi komunikasi kesehatan dan pemetaan komunikasi merupakan suatu tindakan yang tepat sebelum melakukan diseminasi infomasi kesehatan.� Metode Analisis situasi komunikasi dan pemetaan jaringan komunikasi ini menggunakan metode survey dan juga dilengkapi dengan data hasil wawancara dan FGD. Responden yang dijadikan objek pada riset dan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah seluruh warga Desa Cintaratu. Hasil dari analisis diketahui bahwa dalam pemenuhan infomasi kesehatan, masyarakat Desa Cintaratu secara relatif masih rendah. Pemetaan media atau konsumsi media untuk pemenuhan infomasi kesehatan masih sangat rendah hanya sekitar dua persen. Penggunakan internet untuk hal-hal yang terkait kesehatan mencapai angka yang relatif lebih baik. Sementara itu pemenuhan kebutuhan infomasi lebih dominan dengan komunikasi langsung, yaitu dengan tokoh masyarakat atau sesama warga, kolega, keluarga, forum-forum pengajian, arisan, dan lain-lain. Sementara itu jaringan komunikasi kesehatan di Desa Cintaratu berbentuk interlocking personal network. Dengan tipologi jaringan ini, menunjukan ada beberapa individu yang berperan sebagai sumber infomasi kesehatan. Beberapa individu yang berperan sebagai sumber informasi tersebut antara lain: Bidan Ecih, tenaga medis di Puskesmas Selasari, Kader Oom, Kader Imas, dan Dokter Klinik Sandaan.�The Cintaratu community is a rural community that has quite complex health problems. This problem can not be separated from knowledge about health information which is still low. In disseminating effective health information, an appropriate strategy is needed. Health communication situation analysis and communication mapping are appropriate actions before disseminating health information. Methods The analysis of the communication situation and the mapping of the communication network uses the survey method and is also equipped with data from interviews and FGDs. Respondents who were used as objects in this research and community service were all residents of Cintaratu Village. The results of the analysis show that in fulfilling health information, the people of Cintaratu Village are still relatively low. Media mapping or media consumption for the fulfillment of health information is still very low, only around two percent. The use of the internet for health-related matters reaches relatively better numbers. Meanwhile, the fulfillment of information needs is more dominant with direct communication, namely with community leaders or fellow citizens, colleagues, family, recitation forums, social gatherings, and others. Meanwhile, the health communication network in Cintaratu Village is in the form of an interlocking personal network. With this network typology, it shows that there are several individuals who act as sources of health information. Several individuals who act as sources of this information include: Midwife Ecih, medical personnel at the Selasari Health Center, Oom Cadre, Imas Cadre, and Sandaan Clinic Doctor.

BACKGROUND Social media has become an important tool to implement risk communication in COVID-19 pandemic, and made health information can gain more exposure by re-posting. OBJECTIVE This paper attempts to identify the factors associated with re-posting of social media messages about health information METHODS Content analysis was applied to scrutinize 4396 Weibo posts that were posted by national and provincial public health agencies Weibo accounts and identified features of information sources and information features, and adopted Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial (ZINB) model to analyze the association between these features and the frequency of message being re-posted. RESULTS Results showed that the followers and the governmental level of information sources are correlated with increased message reposting. The information features, such as hashtags#, picture, video, emotional(!), and the usage of severity, reassurance, efficacy and action frame were associated with increased message reposting behaviors, while hyperlink and usage of uncertainty frame correlated with reduced message reposting behaviors. CONCLUSIONS The features of health information sources, structures , style and content should be paid close attention by health organizations and medical professionals to satisfy the public’s information needs and preferences, promote the public's health engagement. Suitable information systems designing, and health communication strategies making during different stages of the pandemic may improve public awareness of the COVID-19, alleviate negative emotions, promote preventive measures to curb the spread of the virus.

With the development of new communication technologies and the change and transformation of mobile applications, communication styles also acquire a different dimension. Currently, individuals can access information about many health-related issues easily and quickly. Mobile applications also provide support to individuals in this area anywhere at any time. However, awareness about mobile applications and their availability is important at this point. While the transformation in the technological field makes life easier for users, not everyone (young, old, disabled, etc.) enjoys the advantages equally. In this study, user-based usability testing will be carried out on the axis of E-nabız application with female users above 65 years selected according to certain criteria. The E-nabız application is a platform for all citizens registered to the E-devlet system to access health information. In this context, besides pointing out the accessibility problems of the application, possible solutions will also be offered.

This study aims to understand the information behaviours of youth seeking health information on mobile devices and to explore differences by prior knowledge, gender and grade level. A survey was conducted in two high schools in Osijek, Croatia. Results indicate that among the total 408 participants, 84.3% reported having used mobile devices for health information and 54.7% reported having used applications for health information. Students seek health information about physical activity and eating issues/nutrition mostly on mobile devices. Students with more prior medical knowledge tend to have more information needs, perceive mobile devices as more beneficial, search health information and use health-related applications more frequently, and consider the tracking/recording/monitoring feature of applications more useful. Students with less prior medical knowledge tend to consider the video feature of applications more useful. Students rely heavily on searching health topics in search engines on mobile devices, rather than browsing or using applications. This study provides implications to better assist young people in using mobile devices and applications to manage their health issues.

Abstract Background Studies evaluating health information needs in colorectal cancer (CRC) lack specificity in terms of study samples involving patients. We assessed how health information needs of individuals with CRC are met across the care continuum. Methods We administered an international, online based survey. Participants were eligible for the study if they: 1) were 18 years of age or older; 2) received a diagnosis of CRC; and 3) were able to complete the online health survey in English, French, Spanish, or Mandarin. We grouped participants according to treatment status. The survey comprised sections: 1) demographic and cancer characteristics; 2) health information needs; and 3) health status and quality of life. We used multivariable regression models to identify factors associated with having health information needs met and evaluated impacts on health-related outcomes. Results We analyzed survey responses from 1041 participants including 258 who were currently undergoing treatment and 783 who had completed treatment. Findings suggest that information needs regarding CRC treatments were largely met. However, we found unmet information needs regarding psychosocial impacts of CRC. This includes work/employment, mental health, sexual activity, and nutrition and diet. We did not identify significant predictors of having met health information needs, however, among participants undergoing treatment, those with colon cancer were more likely to have met health information needs regarding their treatments as compared to those with rectal cancer (0.125, 95% CI, 0.00 to 0.25, p-value = 0.051). Conclusions Our study provides a comprehensive assessment of health information needs among individuals with CRC across the care continuum.

Antecedents And Consequences

As more people choose to get health information online, health-related topics continue to be the target of misinformation. From targeted misinformation campaigns about the safety of tobacco, the mainstreaming and subsequent adoption of scientifically flawed research about vaccines, to the misinformation-driven stigmatization of HIV, health communication as an academic discipline has been faced with the challenge of stemming the flow of misinformation and correcting individuals’ misinformed beliefs. To that end, scholars have devoted much time and effort to understand the antecedents and consequences of health-related misinformation, as well as strategies to correct misinformation and inoculate others from misinformation. In this essay, we review research on health-related misinformation, with a special emphasis on two major journals in the field, that is, Health Communication and the Journal of Health Communication, and interrogate the nature of health-related misinformation. We close this essay with a conceptualization of misinformed yet vocal health communicators, whom we term health misliterates.
