The characteristics of pharmacist blogs were examined.
Internet search engines, blog aggregators, and blog rolls were used to identify pharmacist blogs. Six categories were developed to evaluate blogs, including practice-based topics, identifying information, positive language, critical language, professionalism, and miscellaneous. The most recent five posts on each pharmacist blog were reviewed. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the results.
A total of 117 blogs were identified, 44 of which were designated as pharmacist blogs. No blogs contained patient-identifying information. Anonymity was maintained by 68.2% of bloggers. Bloggers practiced in community (43.1%) and noncommunity (43.1%) settings. Pharmacists most commonly used positive language to describe the profession (32%), other health care professionals (25%), and patients (25%). The highest rates of critical language were found in descriptions of patients (57%) and other health care professionals (44%). Almost half of pharmacist blogs contained explicit or unprofessional language. Overall, community practitioner blogs were substantially more likely than noncommunity practitioner blogs to use unprofessional and critical language. Twenty-five percent of pharmacist bloggers also maintained a microblog (e.g., Twitter) account.
A search using Internet search engines, blog aggregators, and blog rolls identified 117 blogs, 44 of which met the study criteria for designation as pharmacist blogs. The majority of pharmacist blogs included some type of discussion of pharmacologic therapies. Pharmacists most commonly used positive language to describe the profession, other health care professionals, and patients. The highest rates of critical language were found in descriptions of patients and other health care professionals.
考察药师博客的特点。
利用互联网搜索引擎、博客聚合器和博客滚动条来识别药师博客。开发了六个类别来评估博客,包括以实践为基础的主题、识别信息、积极的语言、批评性的语言、专业性和杂项。对每个药师博客的最新五条帖子进行了审查。使用描述性统计来描述结果。
共发现 117 个博客,其中 44 个被指定为药师博客。没有博客包含患者识别信息。68.2%的博主保持匿名。博主在社区(43.1%)和非社区(43.1%)环境中执业。药剂师最常使用积极的语言来描述专业(32%)、其他医疗保健专业人员(25%)和患者(25%)。在描述患者(57%)和其他医疗保健专业人员(44%)时,批评性语言的比例最高。近一半的药师博客包含明确或不专业的语言。总体而言,社区执业药师博客比非社区执业药师博客更有可能使用不专业和批评性语言。25%的药师博主还维护着微博(如 Twitter)账号。
