Resumo: Aims: Development and evaluation of three patient information leaflets for people with type 2 diabetes Methods: The leaflets were designed in accordance with existing recommendations for the development of patient education materials. This included review of the material by scientific and linguistic experts and by people with diabetes. The Flesch readability formula adapted to Portuguese was applied. Results: In the review phase, 14 scientific experts, one person with diabetes and two language experts provided comments on the material and suggested changes were made. In the evaluation phase, contributions were received from 10 people with diabetes, 50% of whom were male, with a mean age of 63.0±10.1 years and a mean level of education of 5.6±4.5 years. The evaluation of the readability suggested that the material was at the ninth to twelfth grade comprehension level. In all leaflets, the number of total words and syllables increased from the beginning to the end of the development process. Conclusions: This study documents the development and evaluation of leaflets for patients with Type 2 diabetes in Portugal. It used scientific and language validation by experts who made major changes in the text. It involved patients in the validation and final evaluation of readability, which showed that the final reading level was probably too high. We suggest tools for the development of patient information leaflets in the Portuguese context to assess intelligibility, quality of content, and health literacy. Leaflets should be adapted to the needs of patients. An assessment of their level of understanding and enablement is required.

Tipo de estudo: Validação de folhetos. Local: Internet e USF Rio Dão. População: Peritos e pessoas com diabetes tipo 2. Métodos: Desenvolvimento de conteúdos segundo as recomendações existentes, revisão por peritos científicos e de língua e avaliação por pessoas com diabetes tipo 2, avaliação posterior por aplicação de fórmula de inteligibilidade de Flesch adaptada para a língua portuguesa. Resultados: Na fase de revisão de folhetos receberam-se 14 contribuições de peritos científicos, uma de pessoa com diabetes e duas de peritos de língua. Realizaram-se todas as alterações propostas e retiraram-se as frases que suscitavam dúvidas ou opiniões contrárias. Na fase de avaliação dos folhetos foram recebidas colaborações de 10 pessoas com diabetes, 50% do género masculino, com idade média de 63,0±10,1 anos e formação média de 5,6±4,5 anos. A avaliação da inteligibilidade dos folhetos revelou um grau de legibilidade dos mesmos ao nível do 9º - 12ºano. O número de palavras e sílabas totais aumentaram em todos os folhetos, desde a fase inicial até à final. Conclusões: Este estudo foi inovador no sentido de validar folhetos para informação a pessoas com diabetes em Portugal, usando simultaneamente validação por peritos científicos e de língua (que fizeram grandes alterações ao folheto), envolvendo os pacientes na validação (que revelaram poucas dúvidas) e fazendo uma avaliação de inteligibilidade final (que revelou um nível provavelmente demasiado exigente). Sugere-se o desenvolvimento de ferramentas realizadas no contexto Português para avaliação de inteligibilidade, qualidade de conteúdos, adaptação à literacia em saúde dos pacientes-alvo e, especialmente, do nível de compreensão e melhoria da capacitação dos mesmos.Associação Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar2017-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.32385/rpmgf.v33i4.12224https://doi.org/10.32385/rpmgf.v33i4.12224Portuguese Journal of Family Medicine and General Practice; Vol. 33 No. 4 (2017): Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; 244-50Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; Vol. 33 Núm. 4 (2017): Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; 244-50Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; Vol. 33 N.º 4 (2017): Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; 244-502182-51812182-517310.32385/rpmgf.v33i4reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://rpmgf.pt/ojs/index.php/rpmgf/article/view/12224https://rpmgf.pt/ojs/index.php/rpmgf/article/view/12224/11369Direitos de Autor (c) 2017 Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiarinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRosendo, InêsSantiago, Luiz Miguel2024-09-17T12:00:08Zoai:ojs.rpmgf.pt:article/12224Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openairemluisa.alvim@gmail.comopendoar:71602024-09-17T12:00:08Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
