“…What is interesting about PAM is that three of six proposed personality characteristics for assessment are related to the patient's capability to interact with the healthcare system and healthcare providers [9]. It is similar to the definition of patient activation adopted in Russia, which includes not only certain knowledge and responsibility for one's own health, but also the ability to navigate the healthcare system [10].…”

The objective of this study was to examine the factors of online information seeking on healthcare providers in Russian adults. Material and Methods — Our online survey involved 1,319 participants and regarded their sociodemographic and health-related characteristics, along with online information seeking on healthcare providers. The association of factors to online information seeking on healthcare providers was examined via Pearson’s chi-squared test. The odds ratios for determined predictors of online information seeking were obtained from multiple logistic regression model fitted to the data. Results — Majority of Russian adults – 58.6% (95% CI: 55.9%-61.2%) – used the Internet to collect information on healthcare providers. The most rigorous online information seeking on healthcare providers was exhibited by females (OR: 1.951, p<0.001), adults with graduate degrees (OR: 2.870, p=0.036), adults using the Internet more often (OR: 2.623, p<0.001), adults with two or more chronic diseases (OR: 1.699, p=0.005), and those who had 7 or more medical appointments during the last year preceding the survey (OR: 2.438, p=0.002). However, the age of participants was not significantly associated with online information seeking on healthcare providers (p=0.922). No statistical difference was found between those residing in rural, suburban, and urban areas (p=0.518). Conclusion — Sociodemographic and health-related factors affect patients in terms of their online information seeking on healthcare providers. The current demand for online information on healthcare providers existing in various groups highlights the need to increase patient engagement and empower the less active among them.

Introduction. Solving the health saving problem of middle-aged people in a risk social context is impossible without increasing the level of their medical activity, as well as forming a value attitude to health. Material and methods. The study was conducted on the data of the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey of the National Research University “Higher School of Economics” for 2018–2021. The analysis of statistical data was carried out using the methods of descriptive statistics and correlation analysis, the calculation of the odds ratio and cluster analysis were carried out. Results. Middle-aged Russians are characterized by a low level of medical activity, which is due to their health status. Gender has an impact on the indicators of medical activity: men demonstrate a lower level of medical activity, despite low health indicators. In modern conditions, models of medical activity are varied: from passive practices without prevention to highly active practices combined with preventive examinations. An “inconsistent” model of medical activity with a predominance of self-treatment practices without preventive motives for visiting a doctor is the most common pattern during the COVID-19 pandemic. Limitations. When studying the medical activity of middle-aged Russians in the “pre-pandemic” and “pandemic” periods, 17,631 questionnaires were evaluated during 2018–2021, which is sufficient to achieve the set goal. This study has limitations related to the survey period: data is not available after 2021, but the COVID-19 pandemic has officially ended in May 2023. Conclusion. Insufficient medical activity of the middle age group of the population, especially during crises (including during the pandemic), presents itself as a risk factor for health loss, reduces the ability of institutional medicine to diagnose diseases at an early stage. The predominance of attitudes towards maintaining employment and income among middle-aged people, as well as an independent search for information on the Internet to resolve health issues, increases commitment to self-treatment practices.
