Abstract

Abstract
Aim: With technological developments, it has become easier for individuals to access previously inaccessible or difficult-to-find information. The Internet is the most valid way to access and share information quickly and cheaply. Health information is one of the most searched topics on the internet. This study aimed to evaluate the patient information texts about bruxism on Turkish websites regarding readability and content.
Materials and Methods: While the Ateşman readability index was used to determine the readability level of the texts, content evaluation was evaluated with general questions about the definition, etiology, clinical types, diagnosis, and treatment of bruxism. SPSS 23 statistical package program was used for data analysis.
Results: Within the scope of the study, 161 websites were examined and 100 were evaluated. Private dental clinics (78.2%) were more prominent in the search distribution. According to the statistical analysis, 85% of the websites were found to be of medium difficulty, 10% were found to be difficult, and 5% were found to be easy. In addition, it was observed that information on the etiology and causes of bruxism (62%), clinical forms (68%), diagnosis (58%), and treatment (55%) were insufficient in the patient information texts on the websites.
Conclusion: While preparing patient information texts, our society's health literacy level should be considered and more easily readable and understandable texts should be prepared. Public institutions should also inspect these texts before they are published on the internet, communicate the necessary corrections to those concerned, and allow them to be published after the corrections.

Abstract

Amaç: Teknolojideki gelişmeler ile bireylerin daha önce ulaşamadığı yada bulunması zor olan bilgilere ulaşabilmesi günümüzde artık daha da kolaylaşmıştır . İnternet; bilgiye hızlı ve ucuz bir şekilde erişmenin ve paylaşmanın en geçerli yoludur. Sağlık bilgileri de internette en çok aranan konulardan biridir. Bu çalışmada Türkçe web sitelerindeki bruksizm ile ilgili hasta bilgilendirme metinlerin okunabilirlik ve içerik açısından değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Materyal ve Metod: Metinlerin okunabilirlik düzeyini belirlemek için Ateşman okunabilirlik indeksi kullanılırken, içerik değerlendirmesi bruksizmin tanımı, etiyolojisi, klinik tipleri, tanı ve tedavisi ile ilgili genel sorularla değerlendirilmiştir. Verilerin analizi için SPSS 23 istatistik paket programından yararlanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışma kapsamında 161 web sitesi incelenmiş olup bunlardan 100 tanesi değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Arama dağılımında özel diş klinikleri (%78,2) daha fazla ön plana çıkmıştır. Yapılan istatiksel analize göre web sitelerinin okunabilirlik verilerinde % 85’inin orta zorlukta, %10’nun zor % 5’inin kolay olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca web sitelerindeki hasta bilgilendirme metinlerinin genelinde; bruksizmin etiyolojisi ve hangi sebeplerle oluştuğu (%62), klinik formları (%68), teşhis (%58) ve tedavisine (%55) yönelik bilgilerin yetersiz olduğu gözlemlenmiştir.
Sonuç: Hasta bilgilendirme metinleri hazırlanırken toplumumuzun sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyi göz önüne alınıp daha kolay okunabilen ve anlaşılır metinler hazırlanmalıdır. Kamu kurumları da bu metinleri internette yayınlanmadan önce denetlemeli, gerekli düzeltmeleri ilgililere iletmeli ve düzeltmeler sonrasında yayınlanmasına izin vermelidir.
