The content analysis method was used to classify effective components. Participants in this study were 10 experts. Qualitative content analysis of the data obtained through software 2018 MAXQDA.

Results: Two hundred and seventeen primary codes were extracted, reduced to 112 codes after continuous review, and finally these codes were divided in two main themes (categories), including: A- Information; health literacy (1- Information acquisition, 2- Information identification, 3- Information sharing, 4- Awareness-raising, 5- Information needs, and 6- Health knowledge), B- Treatment; health services (7- Patient satisfaction, 8- Information-seeking behavior, 9- Treatment method and cost, 10- Participatory care and information use, 11- Health education, and 12- Disease prevention).
