Under the background of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), online health information seeking has become one of the most important information needs of the public and even the only channel for health information seeking in this special period. A review of the research on online health information-seeking behavior will help give full play to the previous academic research, further emphasize the necessity of online health information-seeking research, and promote the development of research in this field. This study firstly presents the research overview of online health information-seeking behavior by using the informetric method. Secondly, an overview is carried out from the perspective of online health information platforms, groups, quality, satisfaction, etc., to explore the influencing factors and their relationships in the process of online health information seeking. On this basis, the existing behavioral models are integrated and sorted out to build a new behavioral theoretical model in line with the current online health information seeking.
在2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）背景下，在线健康信息搜索已成为公众最重要的信息需求之一，甚至是这一特殊时期健康信息搜索的唯一渠道。回顾在线健康信息搜索行为的研究，有助于充分发挥以往学术研究的作用，进一步强调在线健康信息搜索研究的必要性，推动该领域研究的发展。本研究首先运用信息计量法呈现在线健康信息搜索行为的研究概况。其次，从在线健康信息平台、群体、质量、满意度等角度进行综述，以探究在线健康信息搜索过程中的影响因素及其关系。在此基础上，对现有的行为模型进行整合梳理，构建符合当前在线健康信息搜索的新行为理论模型。
