Through the strategic use of health communication from their websites, government institutions can achieve greater promotion and prevent health issues for citizens, at whom such websites are aimed. Thus, the transparency of these sites is essential to favor issues such as participation, accountability, and good governance. In the present study, through content analysis, we examined how active transparency and communication in health is built through analyzing the information provided by the different administrative levels with competencies in this field (government, regions, and municipalities) from the following countries: Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Spain. The results were projected according to a double axis of analysis. On the one hand, we offer a description of the levels of management of this phenomenon (structural characteristics and available resources). On the other hand, we developed indices based on each of the countries to compare the typologies grouped in these Ibero-American countries. As a general conclusion, the results evinced insufficient transparency in common; however, the deficit was less in countries that had a public health system.
通过在其网站上战略性地运用健康传播,政府机构可以为目标人群——公民提供更好的宣传和预防保健服务。因此,这些网站的透明度对于促进参与、问责制和良好治理等问题至关重要。在本研究中,我们通过内容分析,根据以下国家(智利、哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔和西班牙)在该领域具有职权的不同行政级别(政府、地区和市政府)提供的信息,分析了如何通过积极主动的透明化和沟通来建立健康状况,并根据分析的两个方面进行了结果预测。一方面,我们对这种现象的管理层次(结构特征和现有资源)进行了描述。另一方面,我们基于每个国家制定了指数,以比较这些伊比利亚-美洲国家中分组的典型类型。总的来说,结果表明普遍存在不透明的情况;然而,在拥有公共卫生系统的国家,这种情况则较少。
