概括
整形外科协会的患者教育材料仍然难以阅读,平均为10年级或更高的水平. 这项研究发现没有材料达到六年级推的阅读水平,阻碍了公平获得医疗保健.
科学领域:
- 卫生识字 卫生识字
- 患者教育 患者教育
- 整形外科 通信 传播
背景情况:
- 目前的指导方针建议患者教育材料 (PEMs) 写在六年级或以下的阅读水平.
- 2010年的一项研究发现,美国整形外科医生协会 (ASPS) 和美学协会 (AS) 网站上的PEM在11年级或更高水平.
- 本研究旨在评估自2010年以来使PEM更容易获得的进展情况.
研究的目的:
- 评估ASPS和AS网站上的患者教育材料 (PEMs) 的当前可读性.
- 确定最近的努力是否改善了这些材料的可访问性.
- 将当前的可读性水平与推指南进行比较.
主要方法:
- 从官方ASPS和AS网站收集PEM.
- 收集的PEM的可读性使用三个标准指数进行评估:Flesch-Kincaid,简单测量Gobbledygook (SMOG) 和Flesch阅读易度 (FRE).
- 分析了数据,以确定平均年级水平,并确定任何符合推的六年级水平的材料.
主要成果:
- ASPS PEM的平均值为9.7 (Flesch-Kincaid),12.6 (SMOG) 和相当于13-16年级的FRE分数.
- AS PEM的平均值为9.3 (Flesch-Kincaid),12.3 (SMOG) 和相当于10-12年级的FRE分数.

Health Literacy
4.0K
Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Methods of Documentation III: PIE
1.3K
Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:

Patient-centered Care
1.9K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
82
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning
913
Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy
39
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...
