Abstract

İnfodemi, COVID-19 pandemisi ile beraber önem kazanan bir kavramdır. İçinde bulunduğumuz bilgi çağında salgın yönetiminde diğer mücadele alanlarını doğrudan etkileyen merkezi konumda olması nedeniyle COVID-19 salgını sırasında öncelikli olarak gündeme alınmıştır. Pandemi sürecinde bu fenomenin, deneyimlediğimiz bilgi çağının en önemli aracı olan yeni dijital gerçekliğin yanında özellikle politik saha gibi alanlarda da beslenmesi dikkat çekici olmuştur. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ)’nün bu süreçte çizdiği yol haritasına göre infodemi yönetimi, koordinasyon ve yönetim haricinde kanıtı tanımlamak, bilimi ve bilgiyi kullanılabilir hale getirmek, eylemi güçlendirmek ve etkiyi ölçmek başlıklarında dört temel adıma dayanmaktadır. Derlemenin amacı, COVID-19 bağlamında infodemi kavramı ve ilişkili olduğu alanlar ile DSÖ önderliğinde dört temelli infodemi yönetimini özetlemektir.

Abstract

Infodemia is a concept that has gained importance with the COVID-19 pandemic. During the COVID-19 outbreak, infodemia was raised primarily due to its central location, which directly affects other areas of struggle in epidemic management in the information age we are in. During the pandemic process, it was especially remarkable that this phenomenon was fed in areas such as the political field, in addition to the new digital reality, which is the most important tool of the information age that we experience. According to the roadmap drawn by the World Health Organization (WHO) in this process, infodemia management is based on four basic steps except for coordination and management: identifying evidence, making science and information available, amplifying action, and measuring the impact. The aim of the review is to summarize the concept of infodemia in the context of COVID-19 and the information about the areas in which it is associated, as well as the four-based infodemia management that is being implemented under the leadership of the WHO.
