Abstract

Objective To investigate the current situation of health communication carried out by medical institutions in Shanghai through new media platforms such as WeChat, Weibo, Toutiao, Douyin, Kuaishou, Bilibili and WeChat Videos, and to propose targeted measures.Methods Based on the systematic collection of new media accounts of medical institutions in Shanghai, and through the combination of keyword screening and manual audit, health communication data of medical institutions on new media platforms were determined.Results Data from 1 117 new media accounts of 162 medical institutions in Shanghai were collected, including 610 WeChat official accounts, 105 WeChat video accounts, 89 Weibo accounts, 18 Bilibili accounts, 198 Douyin accounts, 37 Toutiao accounts, and 60 Kuaishou accounts, totaling 111 853 posts. After keyword sorting and manual screening, a total of 66 761 health science posts were collected, with WeChat Official Accounts, Douyin, and Weibo having the top three highest number of posts. Video-based new media such as Douyin, WeChat Videos, Kuaishou, and Bilibili had a better communication impact than text and image-based new media like WeChat Official Accounts, Weibo, and Toutiao. Among them, Douyin and Toutiao were the best platforms for video and text-image-based new media, respectively.Conclusion Medical institutions in Shanghai recognize the importance of new media in health communication and have made full use of various media platforms to carry out health communication,having a certain impact on health education. In the future, medical institutions should choose appropriate platforms based on target audiences and content characteristics, fully leverage the advantages of various platforms, explore innovative communication strategies, promote the dissemination of health knowledge, and enhance the health literacy of the public.
