摘要

目的：本研究旨在评估土耳其网站上关于前交叉韧带（ACL）的信息文本的内容和可读性水平。方法：在这项横断面研究中，分别于2020年11月16日、17日和18日使用谷歌、Yandex和雅虎搜索引擎进行在线搜索。在这三个搜索引擎中，“前十字韧带”、“前交叉韧带手术”、“ACL”和“ACL手术”是用土耳其语输入的。收集了网站上每次搜索的前10个页面。这些网站根据其来源分为3组。第1组被归类为私立医院或医疗中心制作的网站；第2组，作为骨科和创伤科医生的个人网站；第三组，作为提供一般健康信息的非营利网站，不属于这两组。两位评审员根据网站界面和具体内容评分指南对网站进行了分析。Flesch-Kincaid（FK）等级水平和Flesch-reading Easy（FRE）评分用于确定网站上信息的可读性。结果：对85个独特的网站进行了评估。所有网站的平均质量得分为10.4±4.5，最高得分为25（范围 = 3–21）。两组之间的质量分数没有发现显著差异。所有网站的平均FK评分为11.2±1.7（范围 = 7.9–15.3）。所有网站的平均FRE得分为46.8±7.7（范围 = 24.1–63.7）。两组之间的FK等级和FRE评分没有统计学上的显著差异。尽管59个网站（69%）有第三方印章，表明为在互联网上提供标准健康信息而设立的组织之一的认证，但只有21个网站（25%）在搜索前一年更新。结论：土耳其网站上关于ACL的信息文本的可读性水平高于土耳其的教育水平。此外，与ACL相关的土耳其网站的质量分数较低。信息性文本的内容应在考虑患者识字水平的同时进行组织。

Readability and quality levels of websites that contain written information about anterior cruciate ligament injury: A survey of Turkish websites

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the contents and readability levels of informative texts about anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on Turkish websites. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, online searches were performed using the Google, Yandex, and Yahoo search engines on 16, 17, and 18 November 2020, respectively. In these three search engines, ‘anterior cruciate ligament’, ‘anterior cruciate ligament surgery’, ‘ACL’, and ‘ACL surgery’ were entered in Turkish. The first 10 pages from each search on the websites were collected. The websites were divided into 3 groups according to their sources. Group 1 was classified as websites prepared by private hospitals or medical centers; group 2, as individual websites of orthopedics and traumatology physicians; and group 3, as non-profit websites providing general health information that does not fall into these two groups. The websites were analyzed based on both the website interface and a specific content scoring guide by two reviewers. The Flesch Kincaid (FK) grade level and the Flesch reading ease (FRE) score were used to determine the readability of information on the websites. Results: Eighty-five unique websites were evaluated. The mean quality score of all the websites was 10.4 ± 4.5 with a maximum score of 25 (range = 3–21). No significant difference in quality score was found between the groups. The mean FK grade score of all the websites was 11.2 ± 1.7 (range = 7.9–15.3). The mean FRE score of all the websites was 46.8 ± 7.7 (range = 24.1–63.7). No statistically significant differences in FK grade and FRE score were found between the groups. Although 59 websites (69%) had a third-party seal indicating the certification of one of the organizations established to provide a standard of health information on the Internet, only 21 websites (25%) were updated in the year before the search. Conclusion: The readability level of the informative texts about the ACL on the Turkish websites was above the educational level in Turkey. In addition, the quality score of the Turkish websites related to ACL was low. The content of the informative texts should be organized while taking into account the patients’ literacy level.
