Information graphics or infographics combine visual representations of information or data with text. They have been used in health research to disseminate research findings, translate knowledge and address challenges in health communication to lay audiences. There is emerging evidence of the design of infographics with the involvement of patients and the public in health research. Approaches to involvement include public and patient involvement, patient engagement and participatory research approaches. To date, there has been no comprehensive review of the literature on the design of infographics with patients and the public in health research. This paper presents a protocol and methodological framework for a scoping review to identify and map the available evidence for the involvement of patients and the public in infographics design in health research. It has been informed by preliminary searches and discussions and will guide the conduct and reporting of this review.
信息图形或信息图表将信息或数据的视觉表示与文本相结合。它们已在健康研究中用于传播研究结果,翻译知识,并解决向非专业受众进行健康传播的挑战。越来越多的证据表明,患者和公众参与健康研究的信息图表设计。参与的方法包括公众和患者参与、患者参与和参与式研究方法。迄今为止,还没有对健康研究中患者和公众参与信息图表设计的文献进行全面综述。本文提出了一个范围综述的方案和方法框架,以确定和绘制现有证据,了解患者和公众在健康研究中参与信息图表设计的情况。这是根据初步的搜索和讨论得出的,将指导本综述的进行和报告。
