目的随着互联网的普及，获取健康相关信息变得更加方便。然而，电子卫生信息的容易获取可能导致不利的后果，例如健康焦虑。本研究旨在探讨导致健康焦虑的一系列重要影响因素。基于刺激-生物-反应（S-O-R）框架，我们提出了一个健康焦虑的理论模型，其中元认知信念和灾难性误解是刺激因素与健康焦虑之间的中介。利用218个自我报告的数据点，作者对研究模型和假设进行了实证检验。研究结果表明，焦虑敏感性对元认知信念有积极影响。躯体症状的严重程度对灾难性误读有显著的正向影响。元认知信念和灾难性误解对健康焦虑有显著的正向影响。原创性/价值本文在S-O-R模型的基础上，建立了一个解释健康焦虑的综合模型，并用第一手数据对模型进行了验证。
PurposeWith the popularity of the internet, access to health-related information has become more convenient. However, the easy acquisition of e-health information could lead to unfavorable consequences, such as health anxiety. The purpose of this paper is to explore a set of important influencing factors that lead to health anxiety.Design/methodology/approachBased on the stimulus–organism–response (S-O-R) framework, we propose a theoretical model of health anxiety, with metacognitive beliefs and catastrophic misinterpretation as the mediators between stimulus factors and health anxiety. Using 218 self-reported data points, the authors empirically examine the research model and hypotheses.FindingsThe study results show that anxiety sensitivity positively affects metacognitive beliefs. The severity of physical symptoms has a significant positive impact on catastrophic misinterpretation. Metacognitive beliefs and catastrophic misinterpretation have significant positive impacts on health anxiety.Originality/valueBased on the S-O-R model, this paper develops a comprehensive model to explain health anxiety and verifies the model using firsthand data.
