JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV – The internet has what information you need. However, users must be wise in reading articles on the internet. Here are 5 things you should know about reading health articles on the internet.
1. Check the Credibility of News Articles
Make sure your news sources are clear and reliable. The internet will provide a myriad of information from various sources. Choose the articles you want to read wisely.
2. Beware of Clickbait
A lot of content such as articles on the internet that make the title “Clickbait”. The title catches the attention of the reader and may not match the content of the news.
3. Nocebo Effect
The Nocebo effect is a condition in which a person consumes too many news articles, in this case a matter of health, and assumes the disease in the article is his disease. This makes healthy people feel they have the disease.
4. Don’t Follow Tips
Tips that come from the internet are not necessarily true. The existence of tips must adjust to one’s physical condition. So, to get the right tips, there must still be a recommendation from a doctor.
5. Don’t Panic
Did you feel the signs of the disease you were looking for on the internet? Do not panic! Not necessarily what is written on the internet is true.
