We report on the development and initial evaluation of a novel computerized decision support system (CDSS) that utilizes concepts from entertainment education (edutainment) to assist low-literate, multiethnic women in making initial surgical treatment decisions.
We randomly assigned 51 patients diagnosed with early stage breast cancer to use the decision aid.
Patients who viewed the CDSS improved their knowledge of breast cancer treatment; found the application easy to use and understand, informative, and enjoyable; and were less worried about treatment.
The system clearly reached its intended objectives to create a usable decision aid for low-literate, novice computer users.
我们报告了一种新型计算机决策支持系统(CDSS)的开发及初步评估,该系统运用了娱乐教育(寓教于乐)的理念,以协助低文化水平的多民族女性做出初步手术治疗决策。
我们随机分配51名被诊断为早期乳腺癌的患者使用该决策辅助工具。
观看CDSS的患者增进了对乳腺癌治疗的了解;认为该应用易于使用和理解、信息丰富且有趣;并且对治疗的担忧减少。
该系统显然达到了其预期目标,即为低文化水平的新手计算机用户创建了一个可用的决策辅助工具。
