BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are useful instruments that give providers insight into patients' experiences with disease by quantifying the symptoms that matter most to patients. Results of these questionnaires can help guide management in chronic rhinosinusitis. However, these tools are often developed for native English speakers, which disadvantages others, who already have a language barrier to care. The aim of this study is to evaluate accessibility and readability of Spanish PROMs used to evaluate rhinosinusitis. METHODS: Three Spanish readability measures, Gilliam, Peña & Mountain; SOL; and Fernandez-Huerta were used to evaluate PROMs utilized for rhinosinusitis. PROMs with sixth-grade readability level or easier were considered to meet health literacy recommendations. RESULTS: Four Spanish PROMs utilized in assessment of rhinosinusitis were identified and evaluated. Cuestionario Español de Calidad de Vida en Rinitis (ESPRINT-15) was the most readable PROM and met readability recommendations in two of three measures. Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation met suggested levels in one measure. The remainder of readability scores were more difficult than recommended. CONCLUSION: PROMs are powerful clinical tools that help patients communicate their symptoms and self-advocate. For providers to gain accurate and useful information, these measures should be written at appropriate readability levels. Most Spanish PROMs used for assessment of rhinosinusitis were above recommended readability. Development of future PROMs should ensure appropriate readability levels to provide good patient-centered care for our primarily Spanish speaking patients.
背景:患者报告结局测量指标(PROMs)是有用的工具,通过量化对患者最重要的症状,使医疗服务提供者深入了解患者的疾病体验。这些问卷的结果有助于指导慢性鼻窦炎的管理。然而,这些工具通常是为以英语为母语的人开发的,这对其他人不利,因为他们在就医时已经存在语言障碍。本研究的目的是评估用于评估鼻窦炎的西班牙语PROMs的可及性和可读性。 方法:使用三种西班牙语可读性测量方法,即吉列姆、佩尼亚和芒廷法;SOL法;以及费尔南德斯 - 韦尔塔法,来评估用于鼻窦炎的PROMs。可读性水平为六年级或更低的PROMs被认为符合健康素养建议。 结果:识别并评估了四种用于评估鼻窦炎的西班牙语PROMs。《西班牙鼻炎生活质量问卷》(ESPRINT - 15)是可读性最强的PROM,在三种测量方法中的两种中符合可读性建议。《鼻阻塞症状评估》在一种测量方法中达到了建议水平。其余的可读性分数比建议的更难。 结论:PROMs是强大的临床工具,有助于患者表达症状并自我主张。为了使医疗服务提供者获得准确和有用的信息,这些测量指标应以适当的可读性水平编写。大多数用于评估鼻窦炎的西班牙语PROMs的可读性高于建议水平。未来PROMs的开发应确保适当的可读性水平,以便为我们主要讲西班牙语的患者提供以患者为中心的优质护理。
