The study on quality and accessibility of educational materials for patients was taken up in Health Promotion Department of the National Institute of Hygiene and the Mazovian Centre of Public Health in 2003. The questionnaire contained demographic information (gender, age, civil state, residence, employment and level of education), and questions about patients' opinions concerning the sources of health information (usefulness for knowledge enlargement, use in everyday life and perceived truth). The data were obtained from 110 patients living in Warsaw, who waited for visit in dispensaries or had treated in hospitals. The patients pointed television (54.5% of respondents), members of family (50.9%), physician or nurse in the course of consultations (48.2%), journals (46.4%) and friends (43.6%) as the sources, which most frequently provided health information. Women significantly more frequently than men acquired health information from journals (respectively: 53.8% and 26.7%), while men more frequently than women received health information from physicians or nurses in course of visits (respectively: 66.7% and 41.3%). As regards to age, the younger patients significantly more frequently acquired health information from family (younger group--61.2%, medium group--37.9%, elder group - 28,2%), friends (respectively: 55.2%, 27.2%, 21.4%) and from educational materials exposed in specific dispensaries (respectively: 44.8%, 17.2%, 14.3%). The elder patients more frequently received health information from physicians or nurses in course of consultations (elder group--85.7%, medium group--62.1%, younger group--34.3%). In comparison with other sources, the highest percentage of respondents assessed health information received from physician or nurse as very useful for enlargement their knowledge, use in their everyday life and very true, however, this percentage is low (respectively: 29.0%, 25.7% and 46.7%). Our findings confirm the need to elaborate health education materials more adequate to patients' expectations.
2003年,国家卫生研究所健康促进部和马佐夫舍公共卫生中心开展了一项关于患者教育材料质量和可及性的研究。问卷包含人口统计学信息(性别、年龄、婚姻状况、居住地、就业情况和教育程度),以及关于患者对健康信息来源看法的问题(对知识扩充的有用性、在日常生活中的使用情况以及感知到的真实性)。数据来自110名居住在华沙的患者,他们在门诊部等待就诊或在医院接受治疗。患者指出电视(54.5%的受访者)、家庭成员(50.9%)、咨询过程中的医生或护士(48.2%)、期刊(46.4%)和朋友(43.6%)是最常提供健康信息的来源。女性从期刊获取健康信息的频率显著高于男性(分别为:53.8%和26.7%),而男性在就诊过程中从医生或护士那里获取健康信息的频率高于女性(分别为:66.7%和41.3%)。在年龄方面,较年轻的患者从家庭获取健康信息的频率显著更高(较年轻组——61.2%,中年组——37.9%,老年组——28.2%),从朋友那里获取健康信息的频率也更高(分别为:55.2%,27.2%,21.4%),以及从特定门诊部展示的教育材料中获取健康信息的频率也更高(分别为:44.8%,17.2%,14.3%)。老年患者在咨询过程中从医生或护士那里获取健康信息的频率更高(老年组——85.7%,中年组——62.1%,较年轻组——34.3%)。与其他来源相比,最高比例的受访者认为从医生或护士那里获得的健康信息对扩充知识、在日常生活中的使用非常有用且非常真实,然而,这一比例较低(分别为:29.0%、25.7%和46.7%)。我们的研究结果证实了需要精心制作更符合患者期望的健康教育材料。
