Informed by the Situational Theory of Problem Solving (STOPS), this study used data from the Health Information National Trends Survey, a large and representative national sample, to examine predictors of information seeking and information accessing of health information, including cancer-related information. We found that the independent variables in STOPS-problem recognition, involvement recognition, and referent criterion- well predicted people's information seeking of cancer-related information and accessing of health information on line. However, the impact of trust in online health information was more complicated than anticipated. Our study demonstrated the utility of the STOPS in the health information context. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
受问题解决情境理论（STOPS）的启发，本研究利用来自全国性大型代表性样本“健康信息国家趋势调查”的数据，考察了信息寻求和获取健康信息（包括癌症相关信息）的预测因素。我们发现，STOPS 中的独立变量——问题识别、参与识别和参照标准——很好地预测了人们对癌症相关信息的信息寻求和在线获取健康信息的行为。然而，对在线健康信息的信任的影响比预期的更为复杂。本研究证明了 STOPS 在健康信息背景下的实用性。讨论了理论和实际意义。
