Engaging patients in the process of deprescribing is a necessity. Several patient education materials have been developed for this purpose. The aim of this study was to assess the suitability of the existing patient education materials for proton-pump inhibitors deprescribing.
We conducted a targeted inventory of the available materials on scientific literature and known repositories. We evaluated their suitability with the Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM) instrument. Materials were rated independently by two researchers and then discussed until consensus was reached.
Seven patient education materials were identified. Three materials (42.9%) were deemed "superior" and 4 (57.1%) were deemed "adequate". Ratings were generally good in the categories of content, learning stimulation, motivation, typography and layout. The major weaknesses included the use of inappropriate graphics and the too demanding required reading grade level. These may decrease patient attention and comprehension and therefore the effectiveness of education materials.
Suitability of the patient education materials on proton-pump inhibitors deprescribing is overall satisfactory. Greater attention on readability, graphics and inclusion of summaries will be needed for development of future materials.
让患者参与到减药过程中是必要的。为此已经开发了一些患者教育材料。本研究旨在评估现有的质子泵抑制剂减药患者教育材料的适用性。
我们在科学文献和已知存储库中进行了有针对性的库存调查。我们使用材料适宜性评估工具（SAM）对其进行了评估。两名研究人员对材料进行了独立评估，然后进行了讨论，直到达成共识。
确定了 7 种患者教育材料。其中 3 种（42.9%）被评为“优秀”，4 种（57.1%）被评为“合格”。在内容、学习激励、动机、排版和布局方面的评价普遍较好。主要弱点包括使用不适当的图形和要求阅读的年级水平过高。这可能会降低患者的注意力和理解能力，从而降低教育材料的有效性。
质子泵抑制剂减药患者教育材料的适用性总体上令人满意。在开发未来的材料时，需要更加关注可读性、图形和摘要的纳入。
