Abstract

Purpose: To determine the quality and reliability of the information about sepsis on the internet. Material methods: The quality and reliability of the information on the websites accessed through the most frequently searched words about sepsis were evaluated with the JAMA Benchmark Criteria and the DISCERN scoring system. Data accuracy was compared with the Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines. Results: The search terms used resulted most frequently (36,5%) in information from private hospitals. Only 4 of the 63 sites related to sepsis search terms met all 4 JAMA criteria. The JAMA Benchmark score was found to be median 21.18 (min:0- max:4). Of the sites, 74,6% showed an update date. Only 31.7% of the sites examined had expert or author information. The mean DISCERN score was calculated as 368.51 (min 16-max 59). According to these results, the quality and reliability of internet-sourced information on sepsis was poor. Discussion: The provision of health information on the internet, mostly by private hospitals, may lead to ethical problems. Missing or erroneous information may delay medical treatment, whereas good quality medical information can be effective in reducing unnecessary medical expenses and hospital admissions. Conclusion: The quality and reliability of information about sepsis and related search terms on the Internet were low. It was concluded that public instutions and academic institutions should play a more active role in providing patients with accurate information.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı sepsis konusunda internetten elde edilen bilgilerin kalitesi ve güvenilirliği sorgulamaktır Materyal ve Metod: Sepsis ile ilgili en sık aranan kelimeler üzerinden, erişilen web sitelerindeki bilgilerin kalitesi ve güvenilirliği JAMA Benchmark Kriterleri ve DISCERN skorlama sistemi ile değerlendirildi. Verilerin doğruluğu Sepsiste Sağkalım Kampanyası klavuzları ile kıyaslandı. Bulgular: En sık özel hastaneler arama terimleriyle ilgili olarak sonuçlar ekranına geliyordu (% 36.5). Sepsis arama terimiyle ilgili 63 siteden sadece 4'ü 4 JAMA kriterini de karşıladı. Tüm siteler için median JAMA Benchmark skorunun 2±1.18 (min: 0- maks: 4) olduğu bulundu. Güncelleme tarihi mevcut sitelerin oranı % 74.6 idi. Çalışmamızda incelediğimiz sitelerin yalnızca % 31,7'si uzman veya yazar bilgilerine sahipti. DISCERN skoru ortalama 36±8.51 (min 16-maks 59) olarak hesaplandı. Bu sonuçlara göre internet kaynaklı bilgilerin kalitesinin ve güvenilirliğinin zayıf olduğu görülmüştür. Tartışma: Sağlık bilgilerinin çoğunlukla özel hastaneler tarafından internet üzerinden sağlanması etik sorunlara yol açabilir. Eksik veya hatalı bilgiler tıbbi tedaviyi geciktirebilir. Ayrıca kaliteli tıbbi bilgiler, gereksiz tıbbi harcamaları ve hastaneye yatışı azaltmada etkili olabilir. Sonuç: İnternette sepsis ve ilgili arama terimleri hakkındaki bilgilerin kalitesi ve güvenilirliği düşüktü. Kamusal ve akademik kurumların hastalara doğru bilgi sağlamada daha aktif bir rol oynaması gerektiği sonucuna varıldı.
