The study seeks to reach a set of goals, starting with knowing the role that social
networks play in obtaining medical information, through highlighting the nature
of the medical content that the university student is looking for through his use
of social networking sites, as well as the motives for using these sites, leading to
the gratifications achieved from medical information. Extracted from social
networks.
To achieve this, we chose a sample consisting of students from the University of
Ghardaia and designed a questionnaire containing questions. By answering
them, we can know the extent to which students rely on social networks to
obtain medical information, what is the nature of the medical content that the
university student is looking for, and what are the gratifications achieved from
that. Analyzing the answers through the use of automated media programs.
We concluded that the study sample relies on social networks to obtain medical
information, but it is not the first choice in relying on that, in addition to the fact
that the student's confidence in the information provided is incomplete, but there
are fulfilled gratifications represented in relying on these networks at a certain
percentage.
