Causes of Migrant Workers Internet Health Anxiety from the Perspective of Online Information Seeking Behavior

[目的/意义]作为信息时代的“新兴健康风险”,网络健康焦虑引起了学界越来越多的关注。农民工是网络健康焦虑的易感群体,但尚未有研究从在线信息搜寻行为角度对农民工群体网络健康焦虑的成因进行解释。本文旨在探究农民工群体在线健康信息搜寻行为如何影响和诱发其网络健康焦虑。[方法/过程]本研究整合健康信念模型(HBM)和信息搜寻行为(ISP)模型,引入不确定性容忍度和健康信息质量等新变量,构建基于信息搜寻的网络健康焦虑影响因素模型;通过调查问卷法收集数据,对模型进行实证检验。[结果/结论]农民工更偏好利用非正式渠道搜寻健康信息。健康信息搜寻行为对网络健康焦虑程度有显著的正向影响,具体表现在搜寻频率和搜寻策略水平上。健康信息搜寻行为通过影响健康信念和情感进而影响网络健康焦虑,感知健康风险和症状自评在健康信息搜寻行为与网络健康焦虑间起部分中介作用。亲友患病、心理韧性调节健康信念在健康信息搜寻行为与网络健康焦虑之间起中介作用。
