“…The three scales assessing distinct functions of internet use showed very good internal consistency: Cronbach's a of ''seeking information'' (items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) was 0.75, for ''mutual support'' (items 11, 12, 13) Cronbach's a was 0.80, and for the scale ''care provider contact'' (items 6,7,8,9,10) 0.78. Intercorrelation between scale scores was moderate, ranging from r = 0.28 to r = 0.42.…”

“…Similar findings were reported in another study. 6 The internet is used less frequently for ''mutual support'' and ''care provider contact''. The largest discrepancy between current use and expected use in the future was observed in the function ''care provider contact'': from the patients' perspective, an increase in contact with their healthcare provider via the internet appears to be highly desirable.…”

“…[3][4][5] A recent study from Germany showed that most German patients with rheumatic diseases actively use the internet. 6 Although the internet provides new opportunities to learn, inform and communicate, 1 7 the effects of increased use of the internet by people with chronic diseases are as yet unclear. The explosive increase of internet use has also raised some concern.…”

“…The project uses the Internet as a medium for communication. This approach appears reasonable, as Internet access for patients rose significantly in the last 10 years [6,7] and the Internet has become an important medium for patients to get advice on their illness [8,9]. …”

BackgroundThe European Centres of Reference Network for Cystic Fibrosis (ECORN-CF) established an Internet forum which provides the opportunity for CF patients and other interested people to ask experts questions about CF in their mother language. The objectives of this study were to: 1) develop a detailed quality assessment tool to analyze quality of expert answers, 2) evaluate the intra- and inter-rater agreement of this tool, and 3) explore changes in the quality of expert answers over the time frame of the project.MethodsThe quality assessment tool was developed by an expert panel. Five experts within the ECORN-CF project used the quality assessment tool to analyze the quality of 108 expert answers published on ECORN-CF from six language zones. 25 expert answers were scored at two time points, one year apart. Quality of answers was also assessed at an early and later period of the project. Individual rater scores and group mean scores were analyzed for each expert answer.ResultsA scoring system and training manual were developed analyzing two quality categories of answers: content and formal quality. For content quality, the grades based on group mean scores for all raters showed substantial agreement between two time points, however this was not the case for the grades based on individual rater scores. For formal quality the grades based on group mean scores showed only slight agreement between two time points and there was also poor agreement between time points for the individual grades. The inter-rater agreement for content quality was fair (mean kappa value 0.232 ± 0.036, p < 0.001) while only slight agreement was observed for the grades of the formal quality (mean kappa value 0.105 ± 0.024, p < 0.001). The quality of expert answers was rated high (four language zones) or satisfactory (two language zones) and did not change over time.ConclusionsThe quality assessment tool described in this study was feasible and reliable when content quality was assessed by a group of raters. Within ECORN-CF, the tool will help ensure that CF patients all over Europe have equal possibility of access to high quality expert advice on their illness.
