Abstract

Aim: To determine the quality and reliability of the information about sepsis on the internet. 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 websites 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 websites, 74.6% showed an update date. Only 31.7% of the websites 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. Conclusions: The quality and reliability of information about sepsis and related search terms on the Internet were low. It was concluded that public institutions 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. Yöntemler: 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 kılavuzları 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 sepsis ile ilgili internet kaynaklı bilgilerin kalitesi ve güvenilirliği zayıftı. 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.
