Abstract

Hiperprodukcijom sadržaja koji se može pronaći na internetu, sve je više onoga povezanog uz razne zdravstvene probleme. 7% svih dnevnih pretraga na Google tražilici otpada na pretragu simptoma. Rangiranjem rezultata pretrage s većim fokusom na broj posjetitelja nego na kvalitetu sadržaja, postoji mogućnost da među najviše rangiranim rezultatima budu oni s nekvalitetnijim sadržajem koji može uspaničiti osobu koja ima potencijal za razvoj kiberohondrije i dovesti do povećane anksioznosti i depresije. Predloženo rješenje nastalo je iz potrebe za testiranjem hipoteze bi li se različitim poretkom rezultata pretrage, tj. dodjeljivanjem većeg ranga relevantnijim stranicama kvalitetnijeg sadržaja, smanjila vjerojatnost razvoja kiberohondrije i depresije kod ljudi s anksioznošću koji pretražuju zdravstvene simptome. U sustavu postoje dva tipa korisnika, administrator i ispitanik. Administrator je korisnik koji kreira istraživanja i ispitanike te za svaku grupu ispitanika reorganizira poredak rezultata. Također prati i izvješća o kretanju ispitanika kroz sustav. Ispitanik je korisnik koji pretražuje internet koristeći ugrađenu web tražilicu baš kao što bi koristio i Google. Iako rješenje ima svojih problema kao što su neskalabilnost baze podataka, potreba da administrator popunjava bazu pretragama i rezultatima te da ručno rangira rezultate, ono je prvi korak prema stavljanju većeg naglaska na kvalitetu sadržaja u odnosu na broj posjetitelja.

Abstract (english)

With the hyperproduction of content that can be found on the internet, there is more and more of that related to various health problems. 7% of all daily searches on Google search are for symptom search. By ranking search results with a greater focus on the number of visitors than on the quality of content, there is a possibility that among the highest ranked results will be those with lower quality content that can panic a person who has the potential to develop cyberochondria and lead to increased anxiety and depression. The proposed solution arose from the need to test the hypothesis that a different order of search results, ie assigning a higher rank to more relevant pages of better content, would reduce the likelihood of developing cyberochondria and depression in people with anxiety searching for health symptoms. There are two types of users in the system, administrator and test subject. The administrator is a user who creates researches and test subjects and reorganizes the ranking of results for each group of test subjects. It also monitors reports on test subjects' movements through the system. The test subject is a user who searches the Internet using the built-in web search engine just as he would use Google. Although the solution has its problems such as database incompatibility, the need for the administrator to populate the database with searches and results, and to manually rank the results, it is the first step towards placing more emphasis on the quality of content in relation to the number of visitors.
