Objetivos. Describir las características de las páginas web en español que brindan información sobre aborto y evaluar la calidad de aquellas que incluyan recomendaciones sobre la autorrealización de este procedimiento. Materiales y métodos.Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en Google de páginas web en español que brindan información sobre aborto y se midió la frecuencia de páginas con algún enunciado incorrecto. Para evaluar sus factores asociados se realizaron regresiones de Poisson calculando razones de prevalencia (RP) e intervalos de confianza al 95% (IC95%). La calidad de sitios que brindan recomendaciones sobre la autorrealización del aborto fue evaluada mediante criterios de Curró.Resultados. Se obtuvieron 73 páginas web, de las cuales 38 tuvieron algún enunciado incorrecto, siendo esto más frecuente en blogs (RP=1.58; IC95%: 1.03-2.41). Las áreas en las que más se encontraron enunciados incorrectos fueron "métodos abortivos que no funcionan" e "instrucciones para la realización del aborto". De las 19 páginas web con recomendaciones sobre autorrealización del aborto, 1 presentó adherencia completa a las guías terapéuticas, 16 no tenían referencias y 18 tenían patrocinio comercial.Conclusiones. Una cantidad considerable de páginas web en español que brindan información sobre aborto tienen enunciados incorrectos y no se adhieren a las guías terapéuticas. Esto puede promover prácticas riesgosas para la salud de mujeres que buscan información al respecto.Palabras clave: Información de salud al consumidor; Aborto inducido; Embarazo no deseado; Servicios de salud reproductiva (DeCS). | Abstract |Introduction: Women who decide to have an abortion look for related information using different means, including web pages which could have erroneous or poor quality data. Objectives:To describe the characteristics of web pages in Spanish that provide information on abortion and assess the quality of those that include advice on self-induced abortion. Materials and methods:A systematic Google search of Spanish websites that provide information on abortion was carried out and the frequency of pages with an incorrect statement was measured.To evaluate associated factors, Poisson regressions were performed, calculating prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). The quality of the sites that provide recommendations on selfinduced abortion was evaluated using the Curró criteria.Results: 73 web pages were obtained, of which 38 presented some incorrect statement, being blogs the most frequent source (PR=1.58, CI95%: 1.03-2.41). The most frequent areas in which incorrect statements were found were "abortive methods that do not work" and "instructions for performing an abortion." Out of the 19 web pages that presented recommendations on self-induced abortion, only 1 had complete adherence to therapeutic guidelines, while 16 had no references and 18 had commercial sponsorship. Conclusions:A considerable amount of web pages in Spanish that provide information on abortion have incorrect statements and do not ad...
