Background: Although providing the public with healthcare information through television is very useful, its reliability can be low. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between the reliability of television programs for healthcare information and health-related lifestyle, and to verify the hypothesis that improving the reliability of mass media healthcare information would improve health-related lifestyle.
Methods: Between October and December 2015, surveys were conducted at one secondary hospital with outpatients and families of patients older than 50 years who had watched television programs with healthcare information for more than one hour in the last week. The study questionnaire consisted of reliability of the television programs for healthcare information, health-related lifestyle, and the most important factor affecting reliability.
Results: High reliability of the television programs for healthcare information was associated with longer viewing time (P<0.001). The most important factor affecting reliability was because doctors appear (51.0%). A multivariate analysis adjusted for age and sex showed that high reliability of television programs for healthcare information was significantly associated with psychiatric disease and living in a small or mid-sized city or rural area (odds ratio [OR]: 3.305, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.187-9.204; OR: 2.158, 95% CI 1.074-4.340). High reliability of television programs for healthcare information was associated with good health-related lifestyle (OR, 2.239; 95% CI, 1.193-4.203).
Conclusion: The fact that people who view television programs for healthcare information as being reliable had good health-related lifestyle suggests that improving reliability of mass media for healthcare information would improve health-related lifestyle.
