BACKGROUND
Internet use has grown rapidly in Iran, but there is no information about how Iranian Internet users gather medical information through this medium.
OBJECTIVE
To study the use of the Internet as a medical resource by Iranian patients with chronic dermatologic problems.
METHODS
We carried out a structured interview of all patients 20-40 years of age attending a private dermatology clinic between July and September 2003 for chronic skin disease.
RESULTS
Of the 205 patients enrolled in the study, 104 (50.8%) had computer access and 74 (36.1% of the total) had Internet access. Nine patients (4.4%) had performed a search on the Internet for their skin condition, but only one had used an academic website.
CONCLUSION
Despite the significant growth in Internet use in Iran, it appears that the Internet is not a significant medical resource for patients in Iran.
背景
互联网在伊朗的使用迅速增长，但尚无关于伊朗互联网用户如何通过这一媒介获取医疗信息的相关信息。
目的
研究患有慢性皮肤病的伊朗患者将互联网用作医疗资源的情况。
方法
我们对2003年7月至9月期间前往一家私立皮肤科诊所就诊的所有20至40岁慢性皮肤病患者进行了结构化访谈。
结果
在纳入该研究的205名患者中，104名（50.8%）可以使用电脑，74名（占总数的36.1%）可以访问互联网。9名患者（4.4%）曾在互联网上搜索过自己的皮肤状况，但只有1人使用过学术网站。
结论
尽管伊朗互联网使用显著增长，但互联网似乎并非伊朗患者获取医疗信息的重要资源。
