Resumen

Internet y los medios sociales han entrado en todos los ámbitos de la vida diaria y, crecientemente, se adentran en la búsqueda de información de salud. Este estudio se enfocó en la utilización que hacen los pacientes de Internet para la búsqueda de información sobre salud y el COVID-19, qué tipo de páginas web o redes visitan y su impacto en la relación médico-paciente. Se consiguió un tamaño muestral de 124 personas para alcanzar un margen de error de un 7,5% y un nivel de confianza del 90%. Los ciudadanos encuestados demostraron utilizar fuentes de información de Internet para propósitos de salud, de un modo muy balanceado entre páginas web versus los medios sociales. Las búsquedas sobre salud en Internet continúan en aumento. El COVID-19 se impuso como tema de salud de mayor importancia seguido por la depresión y las enfermedades mentales, lo cual es compatible con el tiempo de pandemia.
