Calidad y uso de las páginas webs en español con información sobre enfermedad de Alzheimer y otras demencias dirigidas a pacientes y personas cuidadoras

Résumé

There is a large volume of health information on the Internet, where it comes from places considered unreliable. In this context and with the perspective of the poor quality of health information that can be found on the Internet, research on the quality and use of websites with health information has become an important issue. The objective of the present work is to evaluate the quality and use of web pages in Spanish with information on Alzheimer's disease and other dementias aimed at patients and caregivers. We will carry out a cross-sectional descriptive study of the total number of websites in Spanish, in which we will measure their use, relevance and quality. This work provides a list of 124 sites ordered according to relevance, use, type of recommendation and quality. Noting that the relevance and quality of these sites is low, and that their use is determined by the relevance and general nature of their contents.
