Abstract

Introduction: This study quantitatively evaluated the understandability and actionability of webpages for patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD).

Methods: In June 2022, we searched on Google and Yahoo Japan using the top five keywords associated with end-stage kidney disease and HD to identify relevant materials. Subsequently, we used the Japanese version of the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool to assess the understandability and actionability of these materials, rating them on a scale from 0% to 100%. The threshold was set at 70%.

Results: Among the included 194 materials, the overall understandability was 66.7%, and the actionability was 33.3%. Only 38.7% and 16.5% of the materials were deemed understandable and actionable, respectively. Challenges included the need for plain language and concise summaries to improve understandability, along with the use of effective visual aids for actionability.

Conclusion: This study suggests that existing webpages on HD are not presented in a manner that patients can utilize.

评估血液透析患者在线资源的可理解性和可操作性。

简介本研究对血液透析（HD）患者网页的可理解性和可操作性进行了定量评估：2022 年 6 月，我们使用与终末期肾病和血液透析相关的前五个关键词在谷歌和雅虎日本上进行搜索，以确定相关资料。随后，我们使用日语版患者教育材料评估工具来评估这些材料的可理解性和可操作性，评分范围从 0% 到 100%。结果：在收录的 194 份材料中，总体可理解度为 66.7%，可操作性为 33.3%。只有 38.7% 和 16.5% 的材料被认为是可理解和可操作的。面临的挑战包括：需要用通俗易懂的语言和简明扼要的摘要来提高可理解性，以及使用有效的视觉辅助工具来提高可操作性：本研究表明，现有的高清网页并不是以患者可以利用的方式呈现的。
