The objective of the present study was to evaluate the quality of general health information in Spanish language web pages, and the official Regional Services web pages from the different Autonomous Regions.
It is a cross-sectional study. We have used a previously validated questionnaire to study the present state of the health information on Internet for a lay-user point of view.
By mean of PageRank (Google®), we obtained a group of webs, including a total of 65 health web pages. We applied some exclusion criteria, and finally obtained a total of 36 webs. We also analyzed the official web pages from the different Health Services in Spain (19 webs), making a total of 54 health web pages.
In the light of our data, we observed that, the quality of the general information health web pages was generally rather low, especially regarding the information quality. Not one page reached the maximum score (19 points). The mean score of the web pages was of 9.8±2.8.
In conclusion, to avoid the problems arising from the lack of quality, health professionals should design advertising campaigns and other media to teach the lay-user how to evaluate the information quality.
本研究的目的是评估西班牙语网页以及不同自治区官方区域服务网页上一般健康信息的质量。
这是一项横断面研究。我们使用了一份先前经过验证的问卷，从普通用户的角度研究互联网上健康信息的现状。
通过PageRank（谷歌®），我们获得了一组网页，其中包括总共65个健康网页。我们应用了一些排除标准，最终获得了总共36个网页。我们还分析了西班牙不同卫生服务机构的官方网页（19个网页），共计54个健康网页。
根据我们的数据，我们观察到，一般信息健康网页的质量普遍较低，尤其是在信息质量方面。没有一个页面达到最高分（19分）。网页的平均得分为9.8±2.8。
总之，为避免因质量不足而产生的问题，卫生专业人员应设计广告活动和其他媒体，教导普通用户如何评估信息质量。
