Area of Science:

  • Health Communication
  • Internet Studies
  • Qualitative Research Methods

Background:

  • Traditional communication methods (phone, fax, mail) have limitations.
  • The internet offers new avenues for interactive communication.
  • Breast cancer patient groups utilize online platforms for discussion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential of internet-based communication for research.
  • To examine email discussion groups as a communication resource.
  • To assess the suitability of online messages for qualitative analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of messages from an email-based breast cancer discussion group.
  • Considering online posts as a form of digital journaling.
  • Applying qualitative data analysis techniques to internet communications.
