The purpose of this article is to share the growing body of literature on Internet use by childbearing women and to present findings of our pilot study done to learn more about this population's information-seeking behaviors. In our sample of 42 women, 97 percent used the Internet to seek health information. They searched for the purposes of decision making, anticipatory guidance, connecting and for general information. Nurses and other health care providers should anticipate that women are using the Internet for health information and should be proactive in referring them to reputable websites and helping them identify trustworthy websites as part of routine prenatal care and childbirth education. Because so many women use the Internet, this is also a feasible venue for nursing research recruitment and potential intervention delivery.
本文旨在分享关于育龄妇女使用互联网的不断增多的文献，并呈现我们的试点研究结果，以更多地了解这一人群的信息寻求行为。在我们42名女性的样本中，97%使用互联网寻求健康信息。她们出于决策、预期指导、交流和获取一般信息的目的进行搜索。护士和其他医疗保健提供者应预计到女性会使用互联网获取健康信息，并应积极主动地将她们推荐到信誉良好的网站，并帮助她们识别可靠的网站，作为常规产前护理和分娩教育的一部分。由于如此多的女性使用互联网，这也是护理研究招募和潜在干预实施的一个可行场所。
