Regarding the frequency of news appearance, the groups that have been increasing the number of occurrences are Therapeutics and Health products. With regard to news subscriptions, senders are variable, but there is an emphasis on the high number of news signed by health professionals. Conclusions: The news about COVID-19 should be critically evaluated and attention should be paid mainly to news about therapies and/or information signed by health professionals. |

Entretanto, outra adversária da saúde pública que surgiu sobre a temática foi a divulgação de fake news que dificultaram o enfrentamento da nova doença. Objetivo: Avaliar as fake news sobre o coronavírus divulgadas no programa “Saúde sem fake news” do Ministério da Saúde e traçar um perfil destas notícias. Método: A pesquisa de caráter descritivo avaliou o banco de dados “Saúde sem Fake news” do Ministério da Saúde. A busca de dados ocorreu entre os meses de janeiro e abril, e as notícias foram segmentadas em quatro grupos: “Produtos para saúde”, “Notificações de casos”, “Terapêutica” e “Informações sobre a COVID-19”. Além disso, traçou-se a frequência de ocorrência de cada grupo no período analisado, avaliando os tipos de assinatura das notícias que circulam na mídia. Resultados: Foram encontradas 79 fake news, sendo que destas o maior grupo de notícias estava na segmentação “Terapêutica”, que totalizou 34 ocorrências. O conteúdo deste grupo foi majoritariamente sobre o uso de bebidas quentes para prevenção e tratamento da COVID-19. Sobre a frequência de aparecimento das notícias, os grupos que estão aumentando em ocorrência são: “Terapêutica” e “Produtos para saúde”. Com relação à assinatura das notícias, os remetentes são variáveis, porém ocorre um destaque para o elevado número de notícias assinadas por profissionais da saúde. Conclusões: As notícias sobre a COVID-19 devem ser avaliadas de forma crítica e deve-se atentar principalmente a notícias sobre terapêuticas e/ou veiculações assinadas por profissionais da área da saúde.Instituto Nacional de Controle de Qualidade em Saúde2020-05-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/article/view/1595Health Surveillance under Debate: Society, Science & Technology ; Vol. 8 No. 3 (2020): August; 78-85Vigilancia en Salud en Debate: Sociedad, Ciencia y Tecnología; Vol. 8 Núm. 3 (2020): Agosto; 78-85Vigil Sanit Debate, Rio de Janeiro; v. 8 n. 3 (2020): Agosto; 78-852317-269Xreponame:Vigilância Sanitária em Debateinstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZporenghttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/article/view/1595/1156https://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/article/view/1595/1273Copyright (c) 2020 Vigilância Sanitária em Debate: Sociedade, Ciência & Tecnologia (Health Surveillance under Debate: Society, Science & Technology) – Visa em Debatehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.pt_BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Matos, Rafael Christian2023-06-27T15:12:36Zoai:ojs.visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br:article/1595Revistahttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebatePUBhttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/oaiincqs.visaemdebate@fiocruz.br || gisele.neves@fiocruz.br2317-269X2317-269Xopendoar:2023-06-27T15:12:36Vigilância Sanitária em Debate - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)false |
