OBJECTIVES
The study identified available websites on malaria in pregnancy on the World Wide Web and sought to evaluate their readability and information quality.
STUDY DESIGN
A purposeful sample of websites were selected which provided information on Malaria in pregnancy.
METHODS
A total of 31 websites were identified from searches using Google, Yahoo and Bing search engines. Two generic tools (Discern and HON), one specific tool designed to assess information quality of malaria in pregnancy and readability tests (Flesch Reading Ease and Flesh-Kincaid Grade level) were used to evaluate the websites.
RESULTS
Most of the websites scored below 50% with the HON Code tool, with most lacking information on the symptoms. One website scored over 70 with the reading ease with two (2) achieving a score of 7 for the reading level test. The readability of the websites was too advanced for an ordinary consumer.
CONCLUSION
The results of this study indicated that the information quality of malaria in pregnancy websites varied from fair to medium. It was also found that the readability of the websites was too advanced for an ordinary consumer. These findings suggest that most websites are not comprehensive in addressing all the relevant aspects of malaria in pregnancy.
目的
本研究旨在识别万维网上有关妊娠疟疾的可用网站，并评估其可读性和信息质量。
研究设计
采用有针对性的抽样方法，选取了提供妊娠疟疾信息的网站。
方法
使用谷歌、雅虎和必应搜索引擎进行搜索，共确定了 31 个网站。使用两种通用工具（Discern 和 HON）、一种专门用于评估疟疾信息质量和可读性测试的工具（Flesch 阅读舒适度和 Flesh-Kincaid 年级水平）来评估这些网站。
结果
HON 代码工具的评分大多低于 50%，大多数网站缺乏有关症状的信息。有一个网站的阅读舒适度得分超过 70，有两个网站的阅读水平测试得分达到 7。网站的可读性对于普通消费者来说过于先进。
结论
本研究结果表明，妊娠疟疾网站的信息质量从一般到中等不等。此外，还发现网站的可读性对于普通消费者来说过于先进。这些发现表明，大多数网站在涉及妊娠疟疾的所有相关方面都不够全面。
