Abstract

Background/Aim

Childhood dental trauma poses a prevalent concern, and the limited knowledge of lay caregivers toward the needed immediate actions can adversely affect a child's well-being. This study aimed to create and validate an educational comic book for lay individuals, designed to guide immediate actions in dental trauma cases, and assess its effects toward enhancing reader knowledge.

Methodology

The four-stage study involved: (1) Literature review and script development; (2) Version 1 of the comic book creation (including illustrations, layout, and design) and Flesch Readability Index (FI) calculation; (3) Version 1 validation by expert judges, assessed by the Content Validity Index (CVI); (4) Version 1 refinement based on the judges' feedback, recalculation of FI, and a pilot test (CVI) involving lay individuals who validated the final material (Version 2). The validation process involved 67 participants, including 13 specialist judges and 54 elementary school teachers.

Results

The CVI for Version 1 was calculated at 0.89 (89%), indicating a favorable level of agreement on the evaluated criteria. The FI was determined as 91.1%, indicating a high level of readability. The FI for Version 2 was 92.1% (indicating a very easy level of comprehension). The CVI calculated for the target audience after the pilot test was 0.99 (99%), denoting a substantial agreement among the participants. In assessing the level of knowledge, a significant increase was observed in the rate of correct answers after the comic book was read by lay individuals (p < 0.05), inasmuch as the percentage rose from 50.5% before to 81.2% after reading it.

Conclusion

The educational comic book proved valid in terms of readability, appearance, and content. Furthermore, it had a positive impact on gaining the knowledge needed to take the appropriate actions, thus making it a valuable tool for guiding the lay population in cases of dental trauma.

验证一本教育漫画书，以指导在牙科创伤情况下的行为。

背景/目的：儿童牙科创伤是一个普遍存在的问题，非专业护理人员对所需立即行动的了解有限，可能会对儿童的健康产生不利影响。这项研究旨在为非专业人士创建和验证一本教育漫画书，旨在指导牙科创伤病例的即时行动，并评估其对提高读者知识的影响。方法论：研究分四个阶段：（1）文献综述与剧本发展；（2）第1版漫画创作（包括插图、版式和设计）和Flesch可读性指数（FI）计算；（3）由专家评委进行的第1版验证，通过内容有效性指数（CVI）进行评估；（4）基于评委反馈的第1版改进、FI的重新计算以及涉及验证最终材料的非专业人员的试点测试（CVI）（第2版）。验证过程涉及67名参与者，其中包括13名专业法官和54名小学教师。结果：第1版的CVI计算为0.89（89%），表明对评估标准的一致性良好。FI被确定为91.1%，表明可读性很高。版本2的FI为92.1%（表明理解水平非常容易）。试点测试后为目标受众计算的CVI为0.99（99%），表明参与者之间存在实质性一致。在评估知识水平时，非专业人士阅读漫画书后，正确答案的比率显著增加（p 结论：该教育漫画书在可读性、外观和内容上都是有效的。此外，它对获得采取适当行动所需的知识产生了积极影响，从而使它成为指导牙科创伤患者的宝贵工具。
