Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to assess the quality and reliability of web-based information about restorative treatment in pediatric patients on the internet using different scales.

Materials and methods: Websites obtained by using keywords about restorative treatment in pediatric patients on Google and Yandex were included in the study. The study was conducted in English on a total of 440 websites. Websites were evaluated using the quality criteria for consumer health information (DISCERN toolkit), Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmarks, and Health on the Net Code of Conduct Certification (HONCode).

Results: The mean DISCERN points of the websites were moderate. Among the evaluated websites, the quality of the knowledge in 20% of the websites was low. The rate of websites with a score below 40 was 37.5%. None of them has reached an excellent score. No websites met all JAMA criteria. There was no HONCode Certificate on any website.

Conclusion: This study showed that the quality of the web-based information about restorative treatment in pediatric patients was generally inadequate and scientifically imperfect.

关于儿科患者恢复性治疗的网络信息的质量和可靠性。

目的:本研究的目的是用不同的量表评估网络上关于儿童恢复性治疗的信息的质量和可靠性。材料与方法:纳入在Google和Yandex上通过关键词检索到的儿科患者恢复性治疗相关网站。这项研究是在440个网站上用英语进行的。使用消费者健康信息质量标准(DISCERN工具包)、美国医学会杂志(JAMA)基准和网络健康行为准则认证(HONCode)对网站进行评估。结果:各网站的平均分辨点均为中等。在被评估的网站中，有20%的网站知识质量较低。得分低于40分的网站占37.5%。他们中没有一个人取得优异的成绩。没有网站符合所有JAMA标准。任何网站上都没有HONCode证书。结论:本研究表明，关于儿童恢复性治疗的网络信息质量普遍不足，科学不完善。
