Health information online and its impact on people with health anxiety: a literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund

Hälsoångest är ett psykiatriskt tillstånd som kännetecknas av en stark oro att drabbas av sjukdom. I en alltmer digitaliserad värld ökar förekomsten av hälsoinformation online vilket skulle kunna vara problematiskt för denna patientgrupp, därför är sjuksköterskans kärnkompetens informatik och e-hälsa viktig.

Syfte

Beskriva användning av hälsoinformation online hos personer med hälsoångest.

Metod

Studien genomfördes som en litteraturöversikt. Sökningar efter befintliga artiklar genomfördes i CINAHL, PubMed och PsycInfo. Resultatet innehåller elva artiklar (publicerade år 2012–2021) som har analyserats och sammanställts.

Resultat

Personer med hälsoångest som söker hälsoinformation online påverkades negativt i form av nedsatt livskvalitet samt påverkan på socialt liv och arbete/utbildning. Bristande källkritik ledde till att desinformation skapar obefogad oro.

Slutsats

En av sjuksköterskans kärnkompetenser är att utveckla informatik och E-hälsa vilket ställer krav på att sjuksköterskan ska ha god kunskap i hantering av online-hälsotjänster och kunna vägleda patienterna i att söka evidensbaserad och kvalitetssäkrad hälsoinformation på internet.

Abstract [en]

Background

Health anxiety is a psychiatric condition that is characterized by a strong anxiety to suffer from disease. In an increasingly digitalized world, the prevalence of health information online is increasing, which could be problematic for this patient group, which is why the nurse's core competence in informatics and e-health is important.

Aim

Describe the use of health information online in people with health anxiety.

Method

The study was conducted as a literature review. Searches for existing articles were conducted in CINAHL, PubMed and PsycInfo. The result contains eleven articles (published in 2012-2021) that have been analyzed and compiled.

Results

People with health anxiety who searching for health information online were negatively affected in the form of reduced quality of life and the impact on social life and work / education. Lack of source criticism led to misinformation that created unjustified concern.

Conclusions

One of the nurse's core competencies is to develop informatics and e-health, which places demands on the nurse to have good knowledge in handling online health services and be able to guide patients in searching for evidence-based and quality-assured health information on the internet.
