■中风教育材料对于中风患者的康复至关重要,但是它们的有效性取决于它们的可读性。美国医学协会(AMA)建议患者教育材料应在六年级水平上编写。研究表明,现有的纸质和在线材料超过了患者的阅读水平,并破坏了他们的健康素养。卒中患者健康素养低与健康状况恶化和卒中康复疗效下降相关。
■我们回顾了论文的可读性(i。e小册子,概况介绍,海报)和在线(i。e美国中风协会,Google,雅虎!)中风患者教育材料,中风患者的阅读水平,在线健康信息的可访问性,患者对中风信息差距的看法,并提供了提高可读性的建议。
■使用PUBMED进行了PRISMA指导的系统文献综述,谷歌学者,和EbscoHost数据库和\"stroke\",“中风病人教育的可读性”,和“笔触可读性”搜索词以发现英语文章。共审查了12篇文章。
■纸张和在线材料的SMOG分数分别为11.0-12.0年级和7.8-13.95年级。中风患者的阅读水平范围从3级到9级或以上。在线中风信息的可及性很高。结构化的患者访谈说明了患者教育材料中的差距和理解困难。
■论文和在线患者教育材料超过了中风患者的阅读水平和AMA推荐的6年级水平。由于可读性的限制,中风患者没有充分了解他们的病情。
UNASSIGNED: Stroke education materials are crucial for the recovery of stroke patients, but their effectiveness depends on their readability. The American Medical Association (AMA) recommends patient education materials be written at a sixth-grade level. Studies show existing paper and online materials exceed patients\' reading levels and undermine their health literacy. Low health literacy among stroke patients is associated with worse health outcomes and decreased efficacy of stroke rehabilitation.
UNASSIGNED: We reviewed the readability of paper (i.e brochures, factsheets, posters) and online (i.e American Stroke Association, Google, Yahoo!) stroke patient education materials, reading level of stroke patients, accessibility of online health information, patients\' perceptions on gaps in stroke information, and provided recommendations for improving readability.
UNASSIGNED: A PRISMA-guided systematic literature
review was conducted using PUBMED, Google Scholar, and EbscoHost databases and \"stroke\", \"readability of stroke patient education\", and \"stroke readability\" search terms to discover English-language articles. A total of 12 articles were reviewed.
UNASSIGNED: SMOG scores for paper and online material ranged from 11.0 - 12.0 grade level and 7.8 - 13.95 grade level respectively. Reading level of stroke patients ranged from 3rd grade to 9th grade level or above. Accessibility of online stroke information was high. Structured patient interviews illustrated gaps in patient education materials and difficulty with comprehension.
UNASSIGNED: Paper and online patient education materials exceed the reading level of stroke patients and the AMA recommended 6th grade level. Due to limitations in readability, stroke patients are not being adequately educated about their condition.
