The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of Animated Pancreas Patient (APP) educational modules (APP website and YouTube) on pancreas education, awareness, and health outcomes.
This was a retrospective study of APP metrics data from September 2013 to October 2017. We evaluated audience reach (number of visit sessions, unique visitors, page views) and calculated top views by media type (animation, expert video, patient video, and slide show) and top retention videos from the modules. We also assessed the educational impact through learner feedback survey.
The APP had 1,475,252 views (547,693 unique visitors, 63.1% in United States) during the study period. Most popular topic viewed among the animations was "Role and Anatomy of the Pancreas" (n = 361,116), and most common expert video viewed was "Chronic Pancreatitis: What Foods and Beverages Should I Avoid?" (n = 31,667). Participants who completed the online feedback survey reported knowledge gains and commitments to change.
Pancreas education in visual formats of learning provided by APP demonstrated wide reach and has substantial potential to inform and impact behaviors of patients and caregivers. Continued efforts should be made to provide patient resources that address health literacy and patient education and respond to patient needs for better quality of life and improved health outcomes in pancreatic diseases.
本研究旨在评估动画胰腺患者（APP）教育模块（APP网站和YouTube）对胰腺教育、认知及健康结果的影响。
这是一项对2013年9月至2017年10月APP指标数据的回顾性研究。我们评估了受众覆盖面（访问会话数、独立访客数、页面浏览量），并按媒体类型（动画、专家视频、患者视频和幻灯片）计算了热门视图以及各模块中留存率最高的视频。我们还通过学习者反馈调查评估了教育影响。
在研究期间，APP的浏览量达1,475,252次（547,693名独立访客，其中63.1%来自美国）。动画中最受欢迎的主题是“胰腺的作用和解剖结构”（n = 361,116），最常见的专家视频是“慢性胰腺炎：我应避免哪些食物和饮料？”（n = 31,667）。完成在线反馈调查的参与者报告称知识有所增加并承诺做出改变。
APP以视觉学习形式提供的胰腺教育覆盖面广泛，极有可能为患者和护理人员提供信息并影响其行为。应持续努力提供解决健康素养和患者教育问题的患者资源，并回应患者对改善胰腺疾病生活质量和健康结果的需求。
