Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the readability levels of health education materials used in the physical therapy and rehabilitation clinics. Methods: In the study, the numbers of sentences, words and syllables were identified in the first 100-word sections of the 44 brochures used in the physical therapy and rehabilitation clinics. Ateşman and ÇetinkayaUzun formula were used to determine the readability levels of the brochures. Correlation of the readability scores obtained using the two evaluation methods was also analyzed. Results: Readability scores calculated with Ateşman and Çetinkaya-Uzun formula were 65.2±11.0 (95% BCa; 62.2-68.4), and 38.4± 5.8 (95% BCa; 36.9- 40.2), respectively. There was a strong and positive correlation between the readability scores obtained using the two evaluation methods, (r=96.2, 95% BCa; 93.5-98.3). Using Ateşman classification approach, 30 brochures (68.2%) were leveling as hard and/or slightly hard-to- read. Thirty-four (77.3%) brochures had been prepared for the people who completed at least an 8–9 grade level of education. To be able to understand and explain the meaning of nine (20.5%) brochures, readers should have completed at least a 10-12 grade level of education. Conclusion: From the results of the study, we may speculate that the brochures used currently in the physical therapy and rehabilitation clinics cannot achieve intended benefits due to their hard-to-read nature. The readability check is necessary for any print material that is given to patients or his/her relatives

Fizik tedavi ve rehabilitasyon kliniklerinde kullanılan sağlık eğitim materyallerinin okunabilirlik düzeyi

Yıl 2013, Cilt: 24 Sayı: 1, 93 - 98, 01.04.2013

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı fizik tedavi ve rehabilitasyon kliniklerinde kullanılan sağlık eğitim materyallerinin okunabilirlik düzeylerini belirlemekti. Yöntem: Bu çalışmada fizik tedavi ve rehabilitasyon kliniklerinde kullanılan 44 broşürün ilk 100 kelimelik bölümündeki cümle, sözcük ve hece sayıları belirlendi. Broşürlerin okunabilirlik düzeylerinin belirlenmesinde Ateşman ve Çetinkaya-Uzun formülleri kullanıldı. İki değerlendirme yöntemiyle elde edilen okunabilirlik puanlarının ilişkisi analiz edildi. Sonuçlar: Ateşman ve Çetinkaya-Uzun formülleri ile hesaplanan okunabilirlik puanları sırasıyla 65.2±11.0 (% 95 BCa; 62.2-68.4) ve 38.4 ± 5.8 (% 95 BCa; 36.9-40.2) idi. İki değerlendirme yöntemiyle elde edilen okunabilirlik puanları arasında kuvvetli ve pozitif bir ilişki (r=96.2, % 95 BCa; 93.5-98.3) vardı. Ateşman sınıflandırma yöntemiyle 30 (% 68.2) broşür zor ve/veya oldukça zor okunabilir olarak sınıflandırıldı. Otuz dört broşür en az 8-9 yıllık eğitimi tamamlayan kişiler için hazırlanmıştı. Dokuz (% 20.5) broşürü anlamak ve anlamlandırmak için okurların en az 10–12 yıllık bir eğitimi tamamlaması gerekliydi. Tartışma: Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlardan, zor okunabilirlikleri nedeniyle halen fizik tedavi ve rehabilitasyon kliniklerinde kullanılan broşürlerin beklenilen yararı sağlayamayacağı ileri sürülebilir. Hastalara ve yakınlarına verilen herhangi bir yazılı materyalin okunabilirliğinin kontrol edilmesi gereklidir
