The data collection process continued until data saturation.The data were analyzed using the conventional content analysis method and MAXQDA software(version10.0). Data collection and data analysis were conducted concurrently.

Based on the analysis of the interviews, two main categories and eight sub-categories wereextracted. The main categories were “Positive valuation of credible problem-relevant knowledge” and“Avoidance of misleading and stressful information”. The results showed that various factors had apositive impact on knowledge gathering, namely personal and other people’s experiences, obtainingneed-based information, sympathetic advice from others, and faith-based health recommendations.On the other hand, factors that had a negative impact were related to the type of information thatcaused stress, was unreliable, inefficient or incompatible with personal goals.
