[Health consultation via the Internet in the field of occupational health].
Now a days, society has increasing expectations for the practice of evidence based medicine. The Internet has been advanced as one of the effective countermeasures. In this study, a survey was analyzed for the usefulness of health consultation via the Internet. There were no significant differences between the Internet and Non-Internet groups about two questions: 1) How useful is it for improving health care? 2) Do you want to have the same health consultation again? At the current moment, it is difficult to draw a conclusion about the effectiveness of health consultation via the Internet in the field of occupational health for factory workers.
