To qualitatively analyse English-language Facebook comments pertaining to amber necklaces, aiming to explore user experiences, perceptions, and beliefs.
A sample of 1000 comments, totalling 2309 sentences, was collected via CrowdTangle. Sociodemographic details and the time elapsed since comment were also recorded. Using QDAMiner software, a single investigator manually performed deductive content analysis, categorising each sentence based on a predefined list from the "Seeking Health-Related Information Online" model. WordStat software was employed to assess word clouds and cluster analyses.
The majority of comments originated from white users (88.5%), females (92%), and residents of the United Kingdom (35.8%). Key terms included "teething," "amber," "baby," and "love," with "teething" central in four identified clusters on the main map. Predominantly, sentences were categorised as "information is useful or potentially useful" (25.29%) and "positive experiences from using the amber necklace" (17.11%). Over time, there was an increase in comments categorised as "receiver's doubts related to information" and "acquisition or intention to acquire the necklace." Conversely, comments related to safety concerns, fear of accidents, dentist contraindication, and information quality decreased.
Facebook users actively engage with amber necklace content, frequently sharing positive experiences and recommending its use to other parents. Notably, concerns about associated risks appeared to diminish over time.
对脸书上关于琥珀项链的英文评论进行定性分析，旨在探索用户的体验、认知和信念。
通过CrowdTangle收集了1000条评论，共计2309个句子。还记录了社会人口统计学细节以及评论发布后的时间。一名研究人员使用QDAMiner软件手动进行了演绎性内容分析，根据“在线寻求健康相关信息”模型中的预定义列表对每个句子进行分类。使用WordStat软件评估词云并进行聚类分析。
大多数评论来自白人用户（88.5%）、女性（92%）和英国居民（35.8%）。关键词包括“出牙”“琥珀”“婴儿”和“喜爱”，“出牙”在主地图上四个确定的聚类中处于核心位置。主要地，句子被分类为“信息有用或可能有用”（25.29%）和“使用琥珀项链的积极体验”（17.11%）。随着时间的推移，被分类为“接收者对信息的怀疑”和“获取或打算获取项链”的评论有所增加。相反，与安全担忧、对事故的恐惧、牙医的禁忌以及信息质量相关的评论减少了。
脸书用户积极参与有关琥珀项链的内容，经常分享积极体验并向其他家长推荐使用。值得注意的是，随着时间的推移，对相关风险的担忧似乎有所减少。
