BACKGROUND
The objective of this study was to describe women's processes for finding pregnancy-related nutrition information, their experiences seeking this information online and their ideas for improving internet sources of this information.
METHODS
In total, 97 pregnant women completed an online quantitative questionnaire and 10 primiparous pregnant women completed semi-structured telephone interviews. Questionnaires and interviews asked participants to describe sources of pregnancy-related nutrition information; time of seeking; processes of searching online; experiences searching online; ideas for improving information found online. Survey data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi square tests; interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
RESULTS
Nearly all (96%) survey participants sought nutrition information online. Information was most commonly sought during the first trimester of pregnancy. Motivators for using the internet included convenience and lack of support from health care providers. Barriers to using online information included lack of trust, difficulty finding information and worry. Women adapted the information they found online to meet their needs and reported making positive changes to their diets.
CONCLUSIONS
The internet is a key source of prenatal nutrition information that women report using to make positive dietary changes. Women would benefit from improved access to trustworthy internet sources, increased availability of information on different diets and health conditions, and increased support from health care providers.
背景
本研究旨在描述女性寻找与妊娠相关的营养信息的过程，她们在线寻找这些信息的体验，以及她们对改善互联网上这些信息来源的想法。
方法
共有 97 名孕妇完成了在线定量问卷，10 名初产妇完成了半结构化电话访谈。问卷和访谈要求参与者描述与妊娠相关的营养信息来源、寻求时间、在线搜索过程、在线搜索体验、对在线信息的改进想法。使用描述性统计和卡方检验分析调查数据；使用主题分析分析访谈数据。
结果
几乎所有（96%）的调查参与者都在网上寻找营养信息。信息最常在妊娠早期寻求。使用互联网的动机包括方便和缺乏医疗保健提供者的支持。使用在线信息的障碍包括缺乏信任、难以找到信息和担忧。女性会根据自己的需求调整在线找到的信息，并报告对饮食做出积极的改变。
结论
互联网是孕妇报告用于做出积极饮食改变的主要产前营养信息来源。妇女将受益于更好地访问可信赖的互联网资源、更多关于不同饮食和健康状况的信息以及医疗保健提供者的更多支持。
