Resumo: | The Internet is a large network of computers linked all over the world thatprovides instant access to the Information stored within them. Since the use of the Internet is exponentially growing, more and more physicians andpatients will gain access to oncological information available in this large global Computer network. To study the use of a Cancer Information Service in the Internet by our Portuguese speaking population, we designed a home page (http://www2.netpoint.com.br/abcbr) that offers information aboiit chemotherapy, several links to other cancer information sites and also allows the user to ask his own questions about câncer. In order to learn the characteristics of our visitors, we also asked them tofillout na online qiiestionnaire. In the first six inonths of existence of our Service, we had na average of37 visits per month to our home page and a total of25 qiiestionnaires filled out. Our visitors have several characteristics that are significantly different than the regular Brazilian users ofthe Internet, such us higher income, age, educational levei and proportion of women in our sample. We conclude that the low iitilization ofour Service is probably due to the overall still small use ofthe Internet in our country as well as a lower proportion of those who match the profile our visitor among the current Brazilian users of the Internet. |

Dado o crescimento exponencial da utilização da Internet, cada vez mais pacientes e médicos terão um acesso ilimitado à mesma informação oncológica disponível na rede.Com o intuito de explorar em nosso meio a utilização pela população de um serviço de informações sobre câncer na Internet, criamos uma página (http://www2.netpoint.com.br/abcbr) que fornece informações sobre quimioterapia, permite a interconexão com vários serviços de informação sobre câncer, além de dar a oportunidade para que o usuário possa fazer as suas próprias perguntas. Para estabelecer o perfil dos usuários que visitam a nossa página oferecemos também um questionário para ser preenchido durante o seu acesso a ela. Nos primeiros seis meses de funcionamento registramos uma média de 37 acessos por mês e um total de 25 questionários completamente preenchidos. O perfil do nosso usuário difere significativamente do perfil típico dos usuários da Internet em vários aspectos como maior renda, idade, escolaridade e proporção de mulheres. Concluímos que além de uma pequena utilização da Internet pela população brasileira como um todo, a subutilização do nosso serviço se deve provavelmente também à pequena representação do perfil do nosso usuário no grupo dos que utilizam atualmente a Internet no Brasil.INCA2022-09-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigos, Avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/280810.32635/2176-9745.RBC.1998v44n2.2808Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 44 No. 2 (1998): Apr./May/June; 155-160Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 44 Núm. 2 (1998): abr./mayo/jun.; 155-160Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 44 n. 2 (1998): abr./maio/jun.; 155-1602176-9745reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/2808/1687https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessdel Giglio, AuroRezende, Lívia2023-01-18T15:09:55Zoai:rbc.inca.gov.br:article/2808Revistahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revistaPUBhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/oairbc@inca.gov.br0034-71162176-9745opendoar:2023-01-18T15:09:55Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)false |
