Parents need information about their children's health, and the Internet has become an essential repository for this information. However, there is almost no information about which topics are the most searched, consulted, or shared, or about the main characteristics of pediatric website users. The main aim of this research was to describe the profile of the users of a pediatric website, which topics they searched for, which topics were the most consulted, and which were the most shared. Users' demographic data were analyzed regarding their use of the Internet to search for information about health. A pediatric website for parents was analyzed. A 26-item questionnaire collected demographical features of the users of the website. Descriptive and analytical analyses were performed. Most participants used general search engines for their health searches, and the most searched keywords were prurigo, barking cough, and laryngitis. The most visited topics were unexplained fever, snots, and laryngitis. The most shared were snots, lipotomy, and dizziness. The users were mainly women (67.8%), with an average age of 38.8 years, and one or two children (89%) with a mean age of 4.6 years. The users who mainly used the Internet for health purposes were women of younger age, and with a higher educational level.
父母需要了解孩子的健康信息，互联网已成为此类信息的重要来源。然而，关于哪些主题是最受关注、咨询或分享的，或者关于儿科网站用户的主要特征，几乎没有任何信息。本研究的主要目的是描述儿科网站用户的个人资料，他们搜索的主题，最常咨询的主题以及最常分享的主题。分析了用户的人口统计学数据，以了解他们使用互联网搜索健康信息的情况。对一个面向家长的儿科网站进行了分析。该网站使用了一份包含 26 个问题的问卷来收集网站用户的人口统计学特征。进行了描述性和分析性分析。大多数参与者使用通用搜索引擎来搜索健康信息，搜索最多的关键词是瘙痒症、犬吠样咳嗽和喉炎。访问最多的主题是不明原因的发热、鼻涕和喉炎。分享最多的主题是鼻涕、唇切除术和头晕。用户主要是女性（67.8%），平均年龄为 38.8 岁，有一个或两个孩子（89%），平均年龄为 4.6 岁。主要出于健康目的使用互联网的用户是年龄较小、教育程度较高的女性。
