Abstract

[Purpose/significance] Analyzing the influencing factors of knowledge sharing in online health community is of great significance to optimize the knowledge service in network health community and improve the communication and dissemination of public health knowledge. [Method/process] We divided knowledge in online health communities into public health knowledge and personal health knowledge. According to the social cognitive theory, we constructed the influencing factors model, and used the structural equation model to verify and analyze the theoretical model. [Result/conclusion] The results of data analysis show that the variables, such as self-efficacy, altruism, social trust, social identity, perceived usefulness, has significantly positive impact on public health knowledge sharing behavior and personal health knowledge sharing behavior. Perceived risk has no significant impact on public health knowledge sharing behavior, but has a significantly negative impact on personal health knowledge sharing behavior.
