Abstract EN

This study aims at examining the role of health education websites on cancer patients in the city of M'sila, through a field study on an intentional sample (100 individuals) of cancer patients at the public hospital institution Al-Zahrawi - M'sila, in which we relied on questionnaire tool in gathering information.

It was divided into three axes are: The first axis: The habits of browsing health websites by cancer patients.

The second axis: The motives and needs of patients browsing health websites.

The third axis: The benefit from patients browsing health websites.

The study led to a number of results, the most important one are: Most of the sample members in the study are predominantly browsing health websites after being infected with cancer, and in the evening period for less than an hour using a mobile device, they also browse health websites due to consulting a doctor about cancer because of the lack of communication with a doctor, while Cancer patients in M'sila city are attracted by these sites because of their treatment of contemporary disease (cancer), the sites rely on a non-scientific language and therefore there is no difficulty in understanding it.

The cancer patients in M'sila city have benefited from their browsing of health websites through health information that helps to coexist with the disease, as well as from others' healing experiences (traditional medicine).

Key- words: the role of websites; health education; cancer patients in M'sila.
