Abstract

Giriş/Amaçlar:
Yüz felci, yüz sinirinin bozulması veya işlev bozukluğu sonucu yüz kaslarının kısmi veya tam felci ile karakterize nörolojik bir hastalıktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, yüz felci hakkında bilgi veren Türkçe web sitelerinin okunabilirliğini, içeriğini ve kalitesini değerlendirmek ve doğruluk ve güvenilirlik düzeyini belirlemektir.
Yöntemler:
Bu tanımlayıcı, kesitsel çalışmada Ateşman ve Bezirci-Yılmaz Okunabilirlik Formülü, okuma süresi, görsel sayısı, JAMA Benchmark Kriterleri, DISCERN Ölçeği ve UpToDate konuları kullanılarak Türkçe yüz felci web sitelerinin kalitesi, kullanılabilirliği, içeriği ve okunabilirliği analiz edildi. Estetik çekicilik ve kullanıcı deneyimini değerlendirmek için Webscore.ai kullanılmıştır.
Sonuçlar:
200 web sitesi incelendikten sonra yüz felciyle ilgili 110 Türkçe site çalışmaya dahil edildi. Ortalama okuma süresi 5,5 dakikadır. Bezirci-Yılmaz puanı 13,8'dir. Ateşman okunabilirlik seviyesi orta düzeydedir. Haber, blog ve "diğer" siteler en fazla görsel içeriğe sahipken, bunları Sağlık Profesyonelleri siteleri takip etti. Sitelerin ortalama kalitesi düşüktü.
Tartışma:
DISCERN ölçeği, Türkiye'deki sağlık sitelerinin %60'ının içerik kalitesinin zayıf-çok zayıf olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. UpToDate içeriği ile kıyaslandığında, sitelerin %58,2'sinin temel konuların yarısından daha azını içerdiği görülmektedir. Bu durum, yüz felci hastaları için yetersiz ve güncel olmayan bilgilere işaret etmektedir. Devlet Kurumları ve Sağlıkla İlgili Derneklerin, modern görünümlü web siteleri ile geçerli ve güvenilir bilgiler sağlaması hastaların daha güvenilir bilgiye ulaşmalarına yardımcı olabilir.

An Assessment of the Content, Readability, and Reliability of Turkish Websites That Provide Information About Facial Paralysis

Year 2023, Volume: 33 Issue: 2, 188 - 193, 30.04.2023

Abstract

Background/Aims:
Known as Bell's palsy, is a neurological disorder characterized by partial or complete paralysis of the muscles of the face, results from impairment or dysfunction of the facial nerve. This study aims to evaluate the readability, content, and quality and determine the level of accuracy and reliability of websites in Turkish language that provide information about facial paralysis.
Methods:
This descriptive, cross-sectional study analyzed the quality, usability, content and readability of Turkish facial paralysis websites using the Ateşman and Bezirci-Yılmaz Readability Formula, reading time, number of images, JAMA Benchmark Criteria, DISCERN Scale and UpToDate topics. Webscore.ai was used to assess aesthetic appeal and user experience.
Results:
After reviewing 200 websites, 110 Turkish sites about facial paralysis were included in the study. Average reading time was 5.5 minutes. Bezirci-Yılmaz score was 13.8. Ateşman readability levels were moderate. News, blog and "other" sites had the most visual content, followed by Health Professionals (HP) sites. Average quality of sites was poor.
Conclusions:
The DISCERN scale found 60% of Turkish health websites had poor-to-very poor content quality. UpToDate's benchmarking revealed 58.2% of sites contained less than half of the basic topics. This indicates inadequate, outdated info for facial paralysis patients. State Institutions and Health Related Associations should provide valid, reliable info on modern websites.
