RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To identify the most relevant aspects that guarantee the readability, clarity and simplicity of written health education materials. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Delphi methodology in order to reach a state of consensus among health education experts on criteria of legibility in the design and publication of informative material and literature. RESULTS: Seventeen experts reached agreement on the principal recommendations for ensuring the legibility of health education materials. They were as follows: a) text content and layout: to structure the text using a title or subtitle, message explanation and conclusion; b) text construction: to use simple and concise sentences, diagrams and examples, and graphically highlighting the principal ideas; c) lexical comprehension: to use simple words and avoid technical language and abbreviations; d) typography: to use an easy-to-read font. CONCLUSIONS: There is a high degree of consensus regarding the way health education materials should be drawn up. This list of recommendations could be used as an instrument for reviewing and improving the design of health education materials. In general, it is recommended to identify the users of the leaflets and involve them in the writing and design.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Realizar una adaptación transcultural y una validación del cuestionario Picker Patient Experience Questionnaire-15 (PPE-15) al español para explorar la percepción de los pacientes sobre el proceso de información y la participación en la toma de decisiones durante el ingreso hospitalario. Incorporar nuevas dimensiones que, al no estar recogidas por el PPE-15, se consideren relevantes para pacientes españoles en relación con la información y la toma de decisiones durante la hospitalización. Material y métodos: Estudio de adaptación transcultural y validación del cuestionario PPE-15 a través de la traducción de la versión original, la validación del contenido y la ampliación del cuestionario en una nueva versión llamada PPE-33. Se llevó a cabo una prueba piloto para comprobar la aceptabilidad y la viabilidad del cuestionario. Finalmente, se evaluó la validez de concepto, fiabilidad y consistencia interna a través de un estudio transversal. Los participantes fueron pacientes adultos posthospitalizados, a los que se les administraron las sucesivas versiones del cuestionario. Resultados Se obtuvo un alto grado de concordancia entre el PPE-15 original y el PPE-33 (índice de Kappa de 0,872). El PPE-33 mostró un alto grado de estabilidad a los 15 días (test de McNemar; p>0,05). Se consiguió un valor de 80 (muy fácil de leer) en la fórmula de perspicuidad de Szigriszt. El PPE-33 obtuvo una alta consistencia interna (alfa de Cronbach de 0,792). Conclusiones El cuestionario PPE-15 adaptado al español en el PPE-33 es un instrumento fiable y válido para explorar la percepción sobre la información y la participación en la toma de decisiones durante la hospitalización (AU)


Objective: To carry out a transcultural adaptation and validation of the Picker Patient Experience Questionnaire-15 (PPE-15). To incorporate new dimensions such as informed consent and decision making, that are not addressed in the PPE-15 but are considered relevant for Spanish patients on information and decision making in hospital. Material and method: Cross-culture adaptation and validation of the (PPE-15). Material and method: A translation of the original version of the questionnaire PPE-15 has been carried out. Content validity has been studied and a new Spanish version has been designed and validated, the PPE-33 questionnaire. The original version of the PPE-15 was translated into Spanish and the content and construct validity of the PPE-33 were studied. A pilot test assessed the acceptability and feasibility of the questionnaire and eventually, construct validity, reliability and internal consistency were evaluated. Results: A high concordance between the original version of the PPE-15 questionnaire and the PPE-33 (Kappa 0,872). The PPE-33 showed good stability within 15 days (McNemar Es Test P>0.05). The Szigriszt Readability Score was 80 (very easy to read). The PPE-33 obtained a high internal consistency (Cronbach Es alpha 0.792). Conclusions: The PPE-15 adapted to Spanish as the PPE-33, is a reliable and valid instrument to measure the perception and satisfaction of patients that have been hospitalised, regarding information, treatment received and participation in decision making (AU)

RESUMO

Inmaculada Echevarría was a woman with Progressive Muscular Dystrophy who was totally dependent on mechanical ventilation. In October 2006, she publicly asked to be disconnected of the ventilator. The clinical and biographical data of the case are presented in the first part of the work. The paper goes on to explain the decisions of the two committees that evaluated her request, that is the Regional Ethics Committee and the Consultative Council of Andalusia. Finally, the outcome of the case is presented. The second part analyzes the background of the debate on end-of-life decision making in Spain in cases such as those of Ramon Sampedro, Jorge Leon or Madeleine Z. It then presents four different settings of end-of-life decision making that have been clarified over these last years: euthanasia and assisted suicide, limitation of life-prolonging treatment, treatment refusal and palliative sedation. The article concludes that the latter three can be considered as sufficiently clarified after the case of Inmaculada Echevarría. However, the first one, that is euthanasia and assisted suicide, must be confronted by the Spanish society in forthcoming years.

RESUMO

Inmaculada Echevarría padecía una distrofía muscular progresiva dependiente de ventilación mecánica. En octubre de 2006 solicitó ser sedada y desconectada del ventilador. En la primera parte del trabajo se exponen los datos clínicos y biográficos del caso. Luego se presentan las decisiones de la Comisión Autonómica de Ética e Investigación de Andalucía y el Consejo Consultivo de Andalucía, que evaluaron el caso, y el desenlace final. La segunda parte señala los antecedentes del debate, con casos como los de Ramón Sampedro, Jorge León o Madeleine Z. Luego se presentan los cuatro escenarios diferentes sobre la toma de decisiones al final de la vida que el debate ha ido clarificando en estos años: eutanasia y suicidio asistido, limitación del esfuerzo terapéutico, rechazo de tratamiento y sedación paliativa. El artículo concluye que, tras el caso de Inmaculada Echevarría, pueden darse por aclarados los tres últimos. Es el primero lo que la sociedad española deberá afrontar en los próximos años

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The readability of written texts aimed at patients is an indicator of quality. Szigriszt made an adaptation of the RES Flesch Score, calling it "Escala de Nivel de Perspicuidad" (Clarity Level Scale), to measure the difficulty in reading a text. But Szigriszt used a text sample that was neither representative nor random, which is why the conclusions are not sufficiently consistent. The aim of this article is to complete the process begun by Szigriszt, review the Szigriszt Scale, comparing it with Flesch's scale, and propose a scale according to Spanish reading habits. METHODS: Descriptive study. Two hundred and ten documents of 3 types were selected at random: Stationary magazines, school textbooks and scientific magazines. Three fragments of at least 500 words were chosen at random from each one, from the beginning, middle and end. The Flesch-Szigriszt Index (Indice de Legibilidad de Flesch-Szigriszt [IFSZ]), available on the INFLESZ program, was calculated. The scores were classified according to the Flesch and Szigriszt scales. RESULTS: The readability of the stationary magazines is 60, of scientific magazines 37.9, and school textbooks 67.39. CONCLUSIONS: Only the scientific magazines are situated between 0 and 50. There are no publications with scores lower than 15. Szigrsizt locates "Normal" from 50; Flesch from 60. An intermediate position is adopted and a new scale is proposed: the INFLESZ Scale, which establishes 5 sections: "Very difficult" (<80), "Somewhat difficult" (40-55), "Normal" (55-65), "Quite easy" (65-80) and "Very easy" (>80). Neither the Clarity Level Scale of Szigriszt nor the RES Flesch Score are adapted to Spanish reading habits. In the case of texts on health, there is a greater probability of their being read and understood if they exceed 55.

RESUMO

Fundamento. La legibilidad de los textos escritos dirigidos a pacientes es un indicador de calidad asistencial. Szigriszt realizó una adaptación de la Escala RES de Flesch, a la que llamó Escala de nivel de Perspicuidad”, para medir la dificultad de lectura de un texto. Pero no utilizó una muestra ni representativa ni aleatoria de textos, por lo que sus conclusiones no tienen suficiente consistencia. El objetivo del trabajo es completar el proceso abierto por Szigriszt, revisar su escala comparándola con la original de Flesch y proponer una escala más ajustada a los hábitos lectores españoles. Material y métodos. Estudio descriptivo. Se seleccionan aleatoriamente 210 publicaciones de 3 tipos: quiosco, textos escolares y revistas científicas. De cada una se eligen al azar tres fragmentos de al menos 500 palabras, del principio, medio y final. Se calcula el Índice de Flesch-Szigriszt (IFSZ) accesible en el programa informático INFLESZ. Las puntuaciones se clasificaron según las escalas de Flesch y Szigriszt. Resultados. La legibilidad del “Quiosco de adultos” es 60; de las “Revistas científicas” 37,9 y de los “Libros escolares” 67,39. Conclusiones. Entre 0 y 50 están sólo las revistas científicas. No existen publicaciones con puntuaciones inferiores a 15. Szigrsizt sitúa lo “Normal” a partir de 50; Flesch a partir de 60. Se adopta una posición intermedia y se propone una nueva escala: Escala INFLESZ que establece 5 tramos: “Muy Difícil” (<40), Algo Difícil” (40-55), “Normal” (55-65), Bastante Fácil” (65-80) y “Muy Fácil” (>80). Ni la Escala de Nivel de Perspicuidad de Szigriszt ni la Escala RES de Flesch son adecuadas para los hábitos lectores españoles. Los textos sobre salud tendrán mayor probabilidad de ser leídos y comprendidos si superan la puntuación 55 (AU)

RESUMO

Introducción: La vejez y la dependencia aparecen con frecuencia asociadas. Son un objetivo prioritario de la política social actual.Objetivo: Conocer cómo es percibida la dependencia por la población mayor. Método: Estudio fenomenológico con metodología cualitativa de grupos de discusión. Resultados: La vivencia de dependencia se puede modelar con actitudes personales. La familia es la relación más importante, pero en la actualidad no puede cuidar de los mayores. Los participantes prefieren morir y no sufrir dolor.Conclusiones: Es necesario generar instrumentos para resolver problemas asociados a la dependencia: planificación de decisiones sanitarias y formación de familia y profesionales en técnicas de counselling

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To analyze readability and legibility of a systematic sample of health education materials made available at a health center, and to propose recommendations for improvement. DESIGN: Observational, descriptive study. SETTING: An urban health center in Madrid, Spain. MATERIAL: A sample of text from 326 health education documents. MAIN MEASURES: The 326 texts were classified according to target reader, organism responsible for publication, topic, and date of publication. A sample of 500 words from each document was analyzed with Microsoft Word 2000 to determine the Flesch readability score and sentence complexity index, and to calculate the INLEG index. Print size and accompanying graphics were also analyzed. RESULTS: Readability of the materials was generally acceptable, with a mean Flesch score of 13.56. However, the type tended to be too small (mean 11.37 points). In 32% of the documents there were no illustrations, and no date of publication was given in 46%. CONCLUSIONS. The readability and legibility in the group of documents we analyzed could both be improved by following the recommendations offered here. Further research is needed on the techniques used to analyze readability and legibility, especially with regard to the latter.

RESUMO

Objetivo. Analizar la legibilidad lingüística formal y la legibilidad tipográfica de una muestra sistemática de folletos de educación para la salud disponibles en un centro de salud y proponer recomendaciones para mejorarlas. Diseño. Estudio observacional, descriptivo. Emplazamiento. Un centro de salud urbano de Madrid. Material. Una muestra de texto de 326 folletos de EPS. Mediciones principales. Los 326 textos fueron clasificados según el destinatario, la entidad patrocinadora y temática, y la existencia de fecha de edición. Se analizó una muestra de 500 palabras de cada folleto con el programa Microsoft Word 2000, para determinar su puntuación de Flesch y el índice de complejidad oracional y estimar el índice LEGIN. Se analizó el tamaño de la letra y la presencia de imágenes informativas. Resultados. Los folletos presentan una legibilidad lingüística de conjunto aceptable, con una media de puntuación de Flesch de 13,56, pero tienden a escribirse con letra pequeña, con un tamaño medio de 11,37.En un 32 por ciento no había imágenes informativas y un 46 por ciento no tenía fecha de edición. Conclusiones. El grupo de folletos analizados muestra una legibilidad lingüística y tipográfica que es muy mejorable siguiendo las recomendaciones que se proponen. Es preciso seguir investigando en las técnicas de análisis de la legibilidad, especialmente de la legibilidad tipográfica. (AU)

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare, for the calculation of the Flesch legibility index, the original manual method and the computer programmes Word Perfect 7 and Microsoft Word 2000; and to correlate these with other computer measurements of legibility. DESIGN: Descriptive, observation study. SETTING: A Madrid Health Centre, within a study of the legibility of health education (HE) leaflets. MATERIAL: A sample of text from 100 HE leaflets and 11 general control texts. Main measurements. The 11 texts were analysed through Flesch' s original manual method and the computer programmes mentioned, with which the number of words and sentences, the Flesch scores, the index of sentence complexity and the LEGIN index were calculated. Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated for all the variables. RESULTS: There was very good correlation between the manual measurement of the Flesch index, the number of words and sentences, and their determination by means of computers (r>0.75); and excellent correlation between the two programmes (r>0.9). The results support the cut-off scores in other studies for legibility measured by computer. CONCLUSIONS: Measurement of legibility through the computer programmes used can reliably replace manual measurement of the Flesch index.

RESUMO

Objetivo. Correlacionar el cálculo del índice de legibilidad de Flesch por el método manual original y su determinación mediante los programas informáticos Word Perfect 7 y Microsoft Word 2000, así como la correlación entre otras medidas informáticas de la legibilidad. Diseño. Estudio observacional, descriptivo. Emplazamiento. Un centro de salud de Madrid, en el marco de un estudio sobre legibilidad de folletos de educación para la salud (EPS).Material. Una muestra de texto de 100 folletos de EPS y 11 textos generales de control. Mediciones principales. Los 11 textos fueron analizados mediante el método manual original de Flesch y los programas informáticos mencionados, con los que se calculó numero de palabras y frases, puntuación de Flesch, índice de complejidad oracional y se estimó el índice LEGIN. Se estimó el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson de todas las variables. Resultados. La correlación entre la medición manual del índice de Flesch, el número de palabras y frases y su determinación por los métodos informáticos es muy buena (r > 0,75) y entre los 2 programas es excelente (r > 0,9). Los resultados apoyan las puntuaciones de corte de la legibilidad medida informáticamente planteadas por otros trabajos. Conclusiones. La medición de la legibilidad mediante los programas informáticos utilizados puede sustituir con fiabilidad a la medición manual del índice de Flesch (AU)
