这项研究回顾了提到“抗生素”的Twitter状态更新,以确定总体类别,并探索误解或滥用抗生素的证据。随机选择了1000条提到抗生素的Twitter状态更新进行内容分析和分类。为了探索潜在误解或误用的情况,对这些状态更新进行了挖掘,以确定以下术语的共同出现:“感冒+抗生素”、“额外抗生素”、“流感+抗生素”、“剩余抗生素”和“共享抗生素”,并进行审查以确认误用或误解的证据。在1,000个状态更新中,971个被分为11组:一般使用(n=289)、建议/信息(n=157)、副作用/阴性反应(n=113)、诊断(n=102)、耐药(n=92)、误解和/或误用(n=55)、阳性反应(n=48)、动物(n=46)、其他(n=42),需求(n=19)和成本(n=8)。确定了以下组合的误解或滥用病例:“流感+抗生素”(n=345)、“感冒+抗生素”(n=302)、“剩余抗生素”(n=23)、“共用抗生素”(n=10)和“额外抗生素”(n=7)。社交媒体网站提供了分享健康信息的手段。进一步的研究是有必要的,以探索这些网络如何提供一个场所,以确定滥用或误解抗生素,促进积极的行为改变,传播有效的信息,并探索如何使用这些工具来收集实时健康数据。
This study reviewed Twitter status updates mentioning “antibiotic(s)” to determine overarching categories and explore evidence of misunderstanding or misuse of antibiotics. One thousand Twitter status updates mentioning antibiotic(s) were randomly selected for content analysis and categorization. To explore cases of potential misunderstanding or misuse, these status updates were mined for co-occurrence of the following terms: “cold + antibiotic(s),” “extra antibiotic(s),” “flu + antibiotic(s),” “leftover antibiotic(s),” and “share antibiotic(s)” and reviewed to confirm evidence of misuse or misunderstanding. Of the 1,000 status updates, 971 were categorized into 11 groups: General Use (n=289), Advice/Information (n=157), Side Effects/Negative Reactions (n=113), Diagnosis (n=102), Resistance (n=92), Misunderstanding and/or Misuse (n=55), Positive Reactions (n=48), Animals (n=46), Other (n=42), Wanting/Needing (n=19), and Cost (n=8). Cases of misunderstanding or abuse were identified for the following combinations: “flu + antibiotic(s)” (n=345), “cold + antibiotic(s)” (n=302), “leftover antibiotic(s)” (n=23), “share antibiotic(s)” (n=10), and “extra antibiotic(s)” (n=7). Social media sites offer means of health information sharing. Further study is warranted to explore how such networks may provide a venue to identify misuse or misunderstanding of antibiotics, promote positive behavior change, disseminate valid information, and explore how such tools can be used to gather real-time health data.
