This study explores the determinants of members' participation intention in online health communities (OHC) from both the facilitators and barriers points of view. From the facilitators perspective, each member's subjective well-being plays a crucial role in sharing intention. On the other hand, from the barriers point of view, social network site exhaustion would negatively affect. The survey was conducted on two online support groups, including parents of children with autism spectrum disorder and caregivers of dementia disease. This study collected 330 questionnaires from social network sites to examine the research model. The results showed that social support positively affects members' self-efficacy; in turn, self-efficacy has a positive effect on subjective well-being. Overload has an impact on psychological distress. Moreover, members' subjective well-being determined their knowledge sharing intention.
本研究从促进因素和障碍因素两个方面探讨了成员参与在线健康社区（OHC）的意愿决定因素。从促进因素的角度来看，每个成员的主观幸福感在分享意愿方面起着至关重要的作用。另一方面，从障碍的角度来看，社交网站的疲劳会产生负面影响。这项研究在两个在线支持小组中进行，包括自闭症谱系障碍儿童的家长和痴呆症患者的护理人员。本研究从社交网站上收集了 330 份问卷，以检验研究模型。结果表明，社会支持正向影响成员的自我效能感；反过来，自我效能感对主观幸福感有积极影响。过载会对心理困扰产生影响。此外，成员的主观幸福感决定了他们的知识共享意愿。
