Abstract

This study examines factors influencing older patients’ use of the Internet to access health-related information, focusing on gender differences and the clarity of information provided by emergency units about anticoagulant treatment and blood clot management. Data were collected from respondents aged 60+ through a survey, with responses weighted to align with population demographics. Statistic methods and regressions were employed to analyze the data. The results indicate that gender significantly predicts Internet use, along with the clarity of emergency service offerings. However, reverse analysis suggests that Internet usage does not significantly improve patient understanding of emergency unit support.
