摘要

背景：经皮冠状动脉介入治疗（PCI）是冠状动脉疾病血运重建术中最常用的治疗方法。许多接受PCI的患者可能会在网上寻求教育信息，但这些资源的可靠性仍然不确定。本研究旨在评估来自加拿大医院的PCI在线患者资源的可读性和可理解性。方法：我们进行了一项描述性研究，评估了加拿大所有实施PCI手术的医院托管的与PCI相关的在线教育材料。主要结果是可读性，使用Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level （FKGL）和Scolarius评分进行评估，以及可理解性和可操作性，使用患者教育材料评估工具（PEMAT）进行评估。教育临床材料建议在FKGL 6和8之间编写。斯科拉鲁斯工具的分数在50到89之间表明大多数成年人都能读懂，而PEMAT分数>；70对应于一个可理解和可操作的教育材料。结果共有29家加拿大医院实施PCI并提供独特的教育内容。只有71%具备pci能力的医院为患者提供相关的在线教育资源。分析内容的FKGL平均值为10（范围5 ~ 18），Scolarius评分平均值为127.8（范围79 ~ 173）。平均总PEMAT打印分数为46.1%，而平均总PEMAT视听分数为71.8%。结论加拿大医院编制的PCI相关教材大多为英文和打印格式，可读性、可理解性和可操作性较差。视听材料表现更好，但使用较少。

Evaluating the Readability and Understandability of Online Patient Educational Material for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Canada

Background

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the most common treatment for coronary artery disease revascularization. Many patients undergoing PCI may seek educational information online, but the reliability of such resources remains uncertain. This study seeks to assess the readability and understandability of online patient resources for PCI from Canadian hospital sources.

Methods

We performed a descriptive study evaluating online educational materials pertaining to PCI hosted by all Canadian hospitals that perform the procedure. The primary outcomes were readability, assessed using the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL) and Scolarius score, and understandability plus actionability, as assessed using the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT). Educational clinical material is recommended to be written at an FKGL between 6 and 8. A score between 50 and 89 on the Scolarius tool suggests the text is readable by most adults, and a PEMAT score >70% corresponds to an understandable and actionable educational material.

Results

A total of 29 Canadian hospitals performing PCI and hosting unique educational content were identified. Only 71% of PCI-capable hospitals provide relevant online educational resources to patients. The average FKGL of the analyzed content was 10 (range 5-18) and the average Scolarius score was 127.8 (range 79-173). The average total PEMAT print score was 46.1%, whereas the average total PEMAT audiovisual score was 71.8%.

Conclusions

Most of the educational material pertaining to PCI created by Canadian hospitals is in English and print format, and of poor readability, understandability, and actionability. Audiovisual materials perform better but are sparsely used.
