Research on health information avoidance behavior and influencing factors of cancer patients—an empirical analysis based on structural equation modeling
Sociodemographic factors influencing cancer patients' health information avoidance behaviors include per capita monthly household income, occupation, treatment modality, number of years of smart device use, and number of hours per week reading health information. Self-efficacy and negative emotions mediated the analytic model of health information avoidance behavior in cancer patients, respectively.
