摘要

Online support groups (OSGs) have emerged to provide a venue for patients to communicate about specific conditions, medications, and other health-related topics including support. Using the Uses and Gratifications theory, this study investigated the critical factors that influence a patient's decision to use OSGs. The work contributes to existing work by exploring how cognitive needs, tension free needs, and physicians support impact patients' OSGs usage. The relationship between self-management and OSGs usage is examined as well. Based on the analysis of 1927 records, the results show that frustration in information search, tension-free needs, and physician support were positively associated with OSGs usage. Perceived self health management was negatively related to OSGs usage.
