The purpose of this study is to investigate factors that influence information seeking behaviorsand information avoidance behaviors and information resources among women with OvCa and their caregivers.  \nMaterials and methods: We conducted in-depth interviews with OvCa patients or caregivers of OvCa (n ¼ 20) and employed deductive and inductive coding methodologies for analysis.  \nResults: Our analysis revealed 5 emerging themes associated with active information seeking behavior, 5 themes of passive information acquisition, and 4 themes of information avoidance behavior. Additionally, we identified participants’ preferred information sources for OvCa management, such as health organization or government operated resources and web-based social groups.  \nDiscussion: To enhance information access, strategies should be developed to motivate people with OvCa to seek rather than avoid information. The study emphasizes the significance of promoting patient–provider communication and leveraging strong social support networks for effective information acquisition.  \nConclusion: Our findings provide valuable implications for clinical practice and policymaking, emphasizing the need to improve access to information for individuals with OvCa. By addressing the identified factors influencing information seeking behaviors, healthcare professionals and policymakers can better support patients and caregivers in their information-seeking journey, ultimately enhancing disease management and decision-making outcomes.  \nLay Summary  \nThis study aimed to investigate the factors that influence information seeking behaviors and sources among women with ovarian cancer (OvCa) and their caregivers. We conducted in-depth interviews with 20 participants with OvCa and identified themes related to active information seeking, passive information acquisition, and information avoidance behaviors. We also identified preferred information sources for OvCa management, such as health organization or government operated resources and web-based social groups. The study highlights the need and strategies to motivate people with OvCa to seek information and improve patient–provider communication and social support to ensure information acquisition. The findings can inform clinical practice and policymakers to improve access to information for people with OvCa.  \nKey words: ovarian cancer; information seeking behavior; information avoidance behavior; information sources; interview.  \nBackground and significance  \nOvarian cancer (OvCa, hereafter) is a rare but deadly gynecological cancer.1 The 5-year relative survival rate in the United States is 50. 8% .1 Despite its high mortality and the complexity in managing OvCa, public awar","cbCaik2qqcukkO0N","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik2qqcukkO0N","pdf",772821,"English","# Abstract\n## Objectives\n## Materials and methods\n## Results\n## Discussion\n## Conclusion\n# Lay Summary\n# Key words\n# Background and significance","[{\"question\":\"What was the study’s main purpose?\",\"answer\":\"To investigate factors influencing information seeking behaviors, information avoidance behaviors, and preferred information resources among women with ovarian cancer and their caregivers.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the study conducted?\",\"answer\":\"The study used in-depth interviews with ovarian cancer patients or caregivers (n=20) and applied deductive and inductive coding for analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"What key findings were reported about information behaviors?\",\"answer\":\"The analysis identified themes related to active information seeking, passive information acquisition, and information avoidance, along with preferred sources such as health organization or government-operated resources and web-based social groups.\"}]","Women with ovarian cancer’s information seeking and avoidance behaviors: an interview study | PDF",1789975877,23]
