Negative information-seeking experiences of long-term prostate cancer survivors
2016
Purpose
Many prostate cancer survivors have lasting symptoms and disease-related concerns for which they seek information. To understand survivors’ information-seeking experiences, we examined the topics of their information searches, their overall perceptions of the search, and perceptions of their health information seeking self-efficacy (i.e., confidence in their ability to obtain information). We hypothesized that negative search experiences and lower health information seeking self-efficacy would be associated with certain survivor characteristics such as non-white race, low income, and less education.
