초록

본 연구는 225명의 대학생들을 설문조사하여 건강정보 추구를 위한 소셜 미디어의 이용행태와 건강정보원으로써의 소셜 미디어의 유용성, 신뢰성, 개인 프라이버시 침해에 대한 인식을 알아보았다. 151명의 대학생들이 건강정보를 위해 소셜 미디어를 사용하고 있다고 응답한 반면에 74명은 사용하지 않는다고 응답하였다. 가장 인기있는 소셜 미디어는 소셜 Q&A, 블로그, 소셜 네트워킹 사이트의 순이었으며 나이, 성별, 학년, 병의 유무가 소셜 미디어 이용행태와 관련이 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 본 연구는 대학생들에게 건강정보를 제공하기 위한 채널로써 소셜 미디어의 가능성을 제시한다.

The present study surveyed 225 undergraduates to examine their social media use behaviors and their perceptions of usefulness, trustworthiness, and privacy of social media for seeking and sharing health information. 151 respondents reported using social media for health information while 74 reported not using it for health matters. Results show that the most popular medium were social Q&As, followed by blogs and social networking sites. Age, gender, school year, and the presence of a health problem were associated with the social media use behaviors. This study suggests the potential of social media as a desired channel for providing health information to undergraduates.
