Abstract:
[Purposes] This study aims to investigate the public's attention and understanding of medical information and to analyze the role of journal editors in medical information propagation. [Methods] We designed a questionnaire to investigate the public's attention about medical information, the achieving approaches and the credibility of medical information. The respondents were requested to read a paper and then choose the conclusion according to their own understanding. We also analyzed the role of journal editors in explaining the paper to help the public understand the paper. [Findings] The public gives close attention to the medical information because of the high credibility of the information from medical journals, but it is difficult for the public to understand. Public's understanding of medical papers is easily to be misled, and this misleading degree is not associated with the level of education. Only a few respondents can understand the medical papers, but most of the respondents can get the meaning of the editor's interpretation. [Conclusions] The public has a high degree of trust in academic medical papers which are difficult to understand, and the conclusions of academic papers would be easily to be misread. It is helpful for the public to understand the meaning of the academic paper based on the medical journal editors' explaining.
