Abstract

Background: International research projects, such as Horizon 2020 (H2020) and ERASMUS+, generate numerous scientific and educational outcomes. However, these are often disseminated in fragmented formats, limiting long-term access and impact. Language barriers further complicate the dissemination in professional communities that do not speak English. Interactive infographic summaries (IISs) offer an innovative solution to these challenges. Objectives: To describe the development of the IIS as a tool to present key findings from three European palliative care projects and the preliminary results of the dissemination. Methods: The IISs developed for three European projects (H2020 Palliative Sedation, ERASMUS+ Research for Palliative Care Clinicians [RESPACC], and ERASMUS+ E-Learning on Palliative Care for International Students [ELPIS]) were selected. These documents were designed using visual communication principles and included interactive elements, such as links to additional resources (videos, articles, and tools). The infographics were translated into multiple languages, and their effectiveness was evaluated based on web traffic, downloads, and readers' feedback. Results: The infographics in 11 languages were shared via project websites, online repositories, and social media. The H2020 Palliative Sedation infographic reached thousands of downloads. The RESPACC infographic allowed free access to research tools in four languages. The ELPIS infographic showcased seven educational projects and was published by all participating universities. Conclusions: IISs facilitate the dissemination of an extensive body of complex scientific information, overcoming barriers of fragmentation and language. They should be considered an essential component in future projects for broadening accessibility and engagement with research findings in palliative care.

打破科学传播的障碍:分享国际姑息治疗项目的交互式信息图摘要的初步结果。
背景:国际研究项目,如地平线2020 (H2020)和ERASMUS+,产生了许多科学和教育成果。然而,这些信息往往以零散的形式传播,限制了长期获取和影响。语言障碍使传播在不讲英语的专业群体中更加复杂化。交互式信息图表摘要(IISs)为这些挑战提供了一种创新的解决方案。目的:描述IIS作为一种工具的发展,以介绍三个欧洲姑息治疗项目的主要发现和传播的初步结果。方法:选择为三个欧洲项目(H2020姑息镇静、ERASMUS+姑息治疗临床医生研究[RESPACC]和ERASMUS+国际学生姑息治疗电子学习[ELPIS])开发的IISs。这些文档是使用视觉传达原则设计的,并包含交互式元素,例如指向其他资源(视频、文章和工具)的链接。这些信息图表被翻译成多种语言,并根据网络流量、下载量和读者反馈来评估其有效性。结果:11种语言的信息图通过项目网站、在线资源库和社交媒体共享。H2020姑息性镇静信息图达到了数千次下载。RESPACC信息图允许免费使用四种语言的研究工具。ELPIS信息图表展示了七个教育项目,并由所有参与的大学出版。结论:IISs促进了大量复杂科学信息的传播,克服了碎片化和语言障碍。应将其视为未来扩大姑息治疗可及性和参与研究成果项目的重要组成部分。
