Evaluación de la calidad de las páginas web sanitarias mediante un cuestionario validado

Abstract

In conclusion, to avoid the problems arising from the lack of quality, health professionals should design advertising campaigns and other media to teach the lay-user how to evaluate the information quality.

Assessing the availability and quality of Spanish‐language genetic resources for patients on the internet

“…Frick Cardelle and Giron Rodriguez (2005), for example, found that many Spanish websites did not include authorship or citation information, similar to findings from Alba-Ruiz et al ( 2013). Furthermore, Conesa Fuentes et al (2011) found few websites that met at least 70% of the quality criteria used in their study. However, considering these studies and ours, it becomes difficult to make direct comparisons as the studies used different quality assessment standards and the definitions and interpretations of quality vary.…”

“…In a more recent study looking specifically at cancer websites in Spanish, Alba‐Ruiz et al (2013) noted that only 59% of the websites contained authorship information, and 62% provide references for their sources. Conesa Fuentes, Aguinaga Ontoso, and Hernández Morante (2011) used a previously validated Spanish‐language tool and found that of 54 websites evaluated, none scored at the highest level of quality and only five scored in what they considered to be a higher range of quality. In a study of English and Spanish health websites related to breast cancer, depression, obesity, and childhood asthma, Berland et al (2001) showed that many key topics related to those conditions had poor coverage (referring to the degree to which important topics were discussed in the websites) on both the Spanish and English websites, although accuracy overall was considered good.…”
