摘要

背景：乳腺医学报告中复杂的语言阻碍了患者的理解。本研究评估了一种新型网络工具MedEd对患者对乳房x光片报告的感知理解的影响。方法：接受乳房x光筛查的女性患者被邀请参加半结构化访谈，评估解读乳房x光检查样本报告的经验，以及她们在有无MedEd的情况下对报告的看法。结果：13例患者完成了半结构化访谈，确定了三个主题领域。大多数参与者描述了不使用MedEd对乳房x光片报告的部分理解，并改善了对报告内容的感知理解，并减少了MedEd的焦虑。有些与会者表示，MedEd可以缩短结果发布与提供者咨询之间的时间差距。结论：MedEd在提高患者对乳房x光检查报告的理解方面表现出了希望，可以利用它来提高患者在立即发布结果和医生咨询之间的这段时间对检查结果的理解。

MedEd: An innovative approach to enhance patient comprehension and interpretation of a sample mammography report

Background

Complex language in breast medical reports impede patients' understanding. This study assesses the impact of a novel webtool, MedEd, on patients’ perceived comprehension of a mammogram report.

Methods

Female patients seen for a screening mammogram were invited to participate in a semi-structured interview that assessed experiences interpreting a sample mammography report of and their perception of the report with and without MedEd.

Results

13 patients completed semi-structured interviews and three thematic areas were identified. Most participants described a partial understanding of the mammogram report without MedEd and improved perceived comprehension of the report's contents and reduction in anxiety with MedEd. Some participants indicated MedEd could bridge the time gap between result release and provider consultation.

Conclusion

MedEd demonstrates promise in improving patient comprehension of mammogram reports, which can be leveraged to improve patient understanding of their exam results during the period between immediately released results and provider consultation.
