Cancer is associated with an urgent need for understandable and reliable information, which is often not satisfied by information available online. Therefore, as part of the PIKKO project, a web-based knowledge database (WDB) was introduced to provide cancer patients with quality-assured, evidence-based information. This paper aims to provide insights into the usage (Who? How? What?) and the effects regarding health literacy of the WDB.
A patient survey and automatically generated logfile data were evaluated. Two user groups, patients and patient navigators (PNs), were compared.
The 13 PNs were responsible for 1/3 of all accesses over the entire duration of the project. The 413 patients used WDB twice on average and spent an average of 12 min per session online (PNs: 9 min per session, more frequently). The top 3 topics of interest were 'therapy', 'nutrition' and 'carcinogenesis' for the patients, and 'therapy', 'naturopathy' and 'legal regulations/support' for the PNs. Of the patients surveyed, 69% said that WDB was helpful in making informed decisions, 76% found the information they wanted and 90% thought WDB was an appropriate way to provide information.
Our WDB provided important information about cancer and its treatment on a digital way both, to patients and PNs. In routine cancer care, the WDB can improve health literacy and informed decision-making.

癌症患者迫切需要易懂且可靠的信息,但网上现有的信息往往无法满足这一需求。因此,作为PIKKO项目的一部分,引入了一个基于网络的知识数据库(WDB),为癌症患者提供质量有保证、基于证据的信息。本文旨在深入了解WDB的使用情况(何人?如何使用?使用了哪些内容?)及其对健康素养的影响。
对一项患者调查和自动生成的日志文件数据进行了评估。比较了患者和患者导航员(PNs)这两个用户群体。
在项目的整个期间,13名PNs占所有访问量的三分之一。413名患者平均使用WDB两次,每次在线平均花费12分钟(PNs:每次会话9分钟,更频繁)。患者最感兴趣的前三个主题是“治疗”“营养”和“致癌作用”,而PNs的是“治疗”“自然疗法”和“法律法规/支持”。在接受调查的患者中,69%表示WDB有助于做出明智的决定,76%找到了他们想要的信息,90%认为WDB是提供信息的合适方式。
我们的WDB以数字方式为患者和PNs提供了有关癌症及其治疗的重要信息。在常规癌症护理中,WDB可以提高健康素养并促进明智的决策。
