“…More than half of the pregnant women in this survey had interest in using the Internet for healthrelated information. This results are in line with the results of the previous researches (18,19,21,25,28,32,35,36). Access to information, demographics characteristics and, particularly, motivational factors all can influence patients' interest for using the Internet as a health information resource (28).…”

Background The Internet often represents a source of accessible information. The aim of this study was to examine pregnant women’s interest and anxiety when they use the Internet and also to determine the criteria by which they evaluated the correctness and reliability of the information on the Internet.Methods A descriptive study was conducted between April and July 2015. The pregnant women at the offices of obstetricians/gynecologists were invited to participate in the study by filling out a questionnaire.Results Of the 450 distributed questionnaires, 420 were completed and analyzed. The mean of interest and anxiety scores respectively was 12.21 and 6.69 out of 20. The most important criteria for judging the reliability and trustworthiness of a website were whether its information is continuously updated (69.2%), or it is recommended by a doctor, nurse or other health professionals (63.1%).Conclusions : Since the interest to a website lowers the anxiety of pregnant women to use it, it is recommended to consider pregnant women’s preferences and needs and follow user-centered approaches when designing websites. Medical content of the websites also should be carefully reviewed by a multidisciplinary board of medical specialists for the correctness and reliability of the information.

“…Women commonly use the Internet as a source for osteoporosis and other health information, 44,45 but websites often fail to provide adequate information. [31][32][33][34][35] Since the inception of this project, use of Internet-based risk assessments such as the FRAX-WHO risk assessment tool (http://www.shef.ac.uk/FRAX), which does not require BMD testing and can be self-administered, have become more prevalent.…”

The risk- and stage-tailored intervention was associated with improved knowledge but was not associated with significant behavioral improvements. Qualitative results suggest the intervention improved behavior implementation and maintenance. A refined intervention with additional tailoring capabilities could be used with Internet-based fracture risk assessment tools to confront the growing societal burden of osteoporotic fractures.

“…Nearly 30% of our population reported receiving education from sources such as TV, magazines, newspapers, books, pamphlets, friends, family, and the internet. Rozenfeld et al 14 demonstrated the impact of the media on health information in a 2006 survey of 3,000 female patients ages 50 to 85 (with a response rate of 26%) and found that 70% of survey respondents admitted to being somewhat or very likely to use the internet to gain knowledge about health-related issues. Furthermore, two-thirds of respondents said they would be likely to read about osteoporosis on a physician-prescribed osteoporosis management web site if one were to be developed.…”

Objective Appropriate calcium and vitamin D intake for the prevention of osteoporosis represents an important component of osteoporosis prevention education (OPE). We sought to assess the presence and quality of OPE among osteoporotic and at-risk inpatients. Design Prospective chart review plus cross-sectional interview Setting Single academic tertiary referral medical center in Rochester, MN. Participants Adults admitted to an inpatient medicine service who were determined to be at risk for osteoporosis based on an investigator-developed screening tool or previously diagnosed with osteoporosis. Four-hundred sixty-four patients were screened, 192 patients were approached for participation, and 150 patients consented to be interviewed for the study. Main Outcome Measures Source of OPE, rates of appropriate calcium intake and supplementation. Results OPE from a healthcare provider was reported by 31.3% of patients, with only one patient reporting education from a pharmacist. Self OPE and no OPE were received by 29.3% and 39.3% of patients, respectively. Appropriate overall calcium intake was found in 30.7% of patients, and only 21.3% of patients were taking an appropriate calcium salt. Conclusion Patients with osteoporosis and risk factors for osteoporosis lack adequate education from healthcare providers regarding appropriate intake of dietary and supplemental calcium and vitamin D. A particular deficit was noted in pharmacist-provided education. Specific education targeting elemental calcium amounts, salt selection, and vitamin D intake should be provided to increase the presence of appropriate overall calcium consumption.
