Furthermore, there seems to be no research addressing various uncertainty preferences underlying HISA behaviors and asking about the role of the IHLoC in uncertainty management.…”

“…İnternetin sağlık alanında bilgiye erişimde aktif olarak kullanılmaya başlamasıyla online sağlık bilgisi arama, internette sağlık arama davranışı olarak kavramsallaştırılmıştır (Gallagher & Doherty, 2009;Baumgartner & Hartmann, 2011;Kim, Shah, Namkoong, McTavish, & Gustafson, 2013;Kıraç, 2019;Dau et al, 2020). Kavramın teorik çerçevesi algı, tutum ve davranış temelli modellere dayandırılarak (Li et al, 2018;You (Ryu) & Cho, 2020;Mitchell & Grieve, 2020;Alsisi et al, 2020) hastaların sağlık bilgisi, sağlıklı yaşam bilinci kazanımı ve bunların davranışa yansıması kapsamında şekillenmektedir. Sağlık arama davranışı düzeyini ve şeklini bireylerin yaşı, cinsiyeti, mesleği, gelir ve eğitim düzeyi gibi değişkenlerin (Gallagher & Doherty, 2009, p. 104;Kim, 2015, p. 229;Jacobs, Amuta, Jeon, & Alvares, 2017, p. 5;Das, Angeli, Krumeich, & van Schayck, 2018) yanı sıra sağlık algısı (Ağaçdiken-Alkan, Özdelikara, & Boğa, 2017), sağlık okuryazarlığı, öz yeterlik ve sağlık bilgisi oryantasyonu (Mitchell & Grieve, 2020; You (Ryu) & Cho, 2020), sağlık kaygısı ve algılanan risk (Baumgartner & Hartmann, 2011;Karaer-Karapıçak et al, 2012;Li et al, 2018) gibi faktörler belirlemektedir.…”

“…Katılımcılar sağlıklı beslenme, zararlı madde kullanımı gibi konularda bilgilendirilmektedir (Taggart et al, 2015). Bu çevrim içi topluluklar hastalığın neden olduğu kaygı, korku gibi ruh sağlığı sorunlarıyla baş etmek amacıyla duygusal destek (Gallagher & Doherty, 2009, p. 104;Nahm et al, 2009;Greene, Choudhry, Kilabuk, & Shrank, 2011, p. 287;Li et al, 2018, p. 36;Mitchell & Grieve, 2020) sağlama/bulma aracı olarak da kullanılmaktadır.…”
