“…People's lifestyles changed instantly and became more dependent on virtual or online activities (Pan et al, 2020). In the context of lockdown, offline medical service access is more difficult, and people turn to social media for their health information queries (Tayuan & Ramos, 2022; Zhao & Basnya, 2022). The Internet plays an increasingly important role in patient decision‐making (Felke et al, 2022).…”

“…The Internet plays an increasingly important role in patient decision‐making (Felke et al, 2022). In addition to health information on COVID‐19 prevention, up‐to‐date COVID‐19 statistics and information about the pandemic's economic impact on business and personal life have also attracted attention (Tayuan & Ramos, 2022). Government sites and notices are the primary source of information; people tend to share information with family members through private channels and with the public through public channels (Tang & Zou, 2021).…”

Although there have been several studies of people's information behaviors during the COVID‐19 epidemic, the information practices of a specific group of people—those with depression—have been neglected. This study reports on qualitative interviews with 24 participants to explore the information practices of people living with depression during the pandemic lockdown. We use the theory of information worlds and the concept of transition to understand the phases of chaos, expansion, and contraction that the information worlds of this group present during the lockdown, and examine the interrelationship between the information worlds and the individual's transition experiences during specific periods. Our results show that, first, emotion, body, and embodiment play key roles in the individual's information worlds, while individuals' information practices are regulated by the economic environment, group norms, and other social circumstances. Second, government‐level information, the volunteer community, social media, and nonhuman objects further impact participants' information practices. We suggest that health management strategies need to have different priorities at different stages of the transition, and attention should be paid to the provision of emotional information support systems during the pandemic lockdown.
