如今,人們都非常重視健康,有點(diǎn)小病馬上求助互聯(lián)網(wǎng),頻頻靠網(wǎng)上搜集的醫(yī)學(xué)知識(shí)來(lái)斷癥,甚至質(zhì)疑醫(yī)生的診斷,成為“上網(wǎng)自診狂”(cyberchondriac)。
The term "cyberchondria" is a portmanteau neologism derived from the terms cyber- and hypochondria. A cyberchondriac is one who imagines that he is ill, having just read about the symptoms on the Internet.
“Cyberchondria”是“網(wǎng)絡(luò)”和“臆想病”混合而成的新詞。上網(wǎng)自診狂是指看了網(wǎng)上的癥狀后想象自己病了的人。
A study by researchers at Microsoft analyzed masses of health-related Internet searches and found that nearly 40 percent of people experience greater anxiety after researching their symptoms than they did at the outset.
微軟研究人員近日進(jìn)行一項(xiàng)人們對(duì)健康相關(guān)網(wǎng)絡(luò)搜索的調(diào)查,結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)近40%的人在搜索癥狀后比未搜索前要更加憂慮。
"The Web has the potential to increase the anxieties of people who have little or no medical training, especially when Web search is employed as a diagnostic procedure," researchers said.
研究人員表示,對(duì)沒(méi)有或僅接受過(guò)很少的醫(yī)療訓(xùn)練的人來(lái)說(shuō),網(wǎng)絡(luò)很可能加劇他們的憂慮,尤其當(dāng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)搜索被用來(lái)判斷病情時(shí)。
