Abstract:
Today's patients and/or their relatives periodically appeal to the Internet, its various resources in the disease situation. The information and communication capabilities of the Internet modify the traditional "role of the patient" and the patient community, significantly affect the medical choices, that patients make at different stages of the disease. In 2018, research focusing on the medical choice of patients with chronic diseases in Samara was conducted at Samara University. This paper describes the results regarding the use of the Internet by Samara patients with chronic diseases. First of all, we are talking about the distribution of the use of the "medical Internet" by gender, age and level of education, the goals of accessing the Internet in a situation of disease, and which Internet resources are used.
