Abstract

Colorectal surgery is a common procedure for bowel cancer, with communication of information playing a key role in patient surgery preparation and recovery. Previous research has shown that surgery e-health tools are effective in many medical contexts. With this in mind, an interactive app was developed using an iterative user-centred design and research process and a multi-methods approach. The aim was to enhance communication between patients and medical staff and empower patients throughout their recovery. Results showed the superiority of a mobile app in communicating information when compared to a printed booklet, and to a tablet app variant.

测试为肠道手术后恢复期患者、外科医生和护士提供的支持性数字信息工具的有效性

结肠直肠手术是一种常见的肠癌手术，信息沟通在患者的手术准备和恢复过程中发挥着关键作用。以往的研究表明，手术电子保健工具在许多医疗环境中都很有效。有鉴于此，我们采用以用户为中心的迭代设计和研究过程，并采用多种方法开发了一款互动应用程序。其目的是加强患者与医务人员之间的沟通，并在患者康复的整个过程中增强他们的能力。结果表明，与印刷小册子和平板电脑应用程序变体相比，移动应用程序在信息交流方面更具优势。

期刊介绍： Information Design Journal (IDJ) is a peer reviewed international journal that bridges the gap between research and practice in information design. IDJ is a platform for discussing and improving the design, usability, and overall effectiveness of ‘content put into form’ — of verbal and visual messages shaped to meet the needs of particular audiences. IDJ offers a forum for sharing ideas about the verbal, visual, and typographic design of print and online documents, multimedia presentations, illustrations, signage, interfaces, maps, quantitative displays, websites, and new media. IDJ brings together ways of thinking about creating effective communications for use in contexts such as workplaces, hospitals, airports, banks, schools, or government agencies.
