Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, elektif ürolojik cerrahi uygulamalar ve acil tıp kliniklerinde uygulanan prosedürlere ait aydınlatılmış hasta onam formlarının okunabilirliklerinin, okunabilirlik formülleri aracılığı ile karşılaştırılarak değerlendirilmesidir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Acil tıbbı prosedürler için toplam 32 adet, ürolojik cerrahi uygulamalar için toplam 61 adet onam formu değerlendirmeye alındı. Ortalama kelime sayısı, hece sayısı ve hece sayısı 4 ve üzeri olan kelimeler hesaplandı. Onam formlarının okunabilirlik düzeyinin hesaplanmasında, Türkçe metinlerin okunabilirlik düzeyinin belirlenmesi için tanımlanmış olan Ateşman ve Bezirci-Yılmaz formülleri ve genel okunabilirlik düzeyini ölçen Gunning fog, Flesch kincaid formülleri kullanıldı. Bulgular: Elektif ürolojik onam formlarının okunabilirliği Ateşman, Gunning fog, Flesch kincaid formüllerine göre anlamlı düzeyde daha zor okunabilir olarak bulundu p=0.001, p

Is there a difference between the readabilities of informed consent forms used for elective urology and emergency medicine procedures in Turkey?

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the readabilities of informed consent forms ICFs used for elective urological surgical applications and those used for procedures in emergency medicine by comparing through readability formulas.Material and Methods: A total of 32 consent forms were evaluated for emergency medicine procedures while a total of 61 consent forms were evaluated for urological surgical applications. Word number, syllable number and words with syllable number of four and above were calculated. Ateşman and Bezirci-Yılmaz formulas defined for determining the readability level of Turkish texts and Gunning fog, Flesch kincaid formulas measuring the general readability level were used for calculating the readability level of consent forms. Results: Readability of elective urological consent forms was found to be at a significantly more difficult level to read compared to Ateşman, Gunning fog and Flesch kincaid formulas p=0.001,p
