Comics are increasingly being discussed as an innovative means of communication in healthcare. In rheumatology there has so far been a lack of studies on the acceptance and potential use of medical comics.
The aim of this study was to determine the acceptance of medical comics among rheumatologists and to evaluate their potential for use in clinical practice.
At the German Rheumatology Congress 2024 a total of 8 medical comics designed jointly in advance by patients and artists were exhibited. Congress participants were able to take part voluntarily and anonymously in a standardized online survey. Sociodemographic data, assessments of the comprehensibility and usefulness of the comics and their potential usability in everyday clinical practice were recorded.
A total of 94 people took part in the survey, 58.5% of whom had a specialist medical qualification. The exhibition was rated with a Net Promoter Score of 37.2%. The understanding effect was rated at 6.3 ± 2.7 and the potential to promote public awareness at 8.4 ± 1.8 (scale 0-10). Of the participants 78.7% could imagine displaying the comics in their practice or clinic and 63.8% were in favor of their use for therapy and diagnosis clarification.
The results show a high level of acceptance of comics among healthcare professionals and confirm their potential for use in education and communication. A structured further development of German language, medically validated comic formats appears to make sense.
漫画越来越多地被视为医疗保健领域一种创新的交流方式。到目前为止，风湿病学领域缺乏关于医学漫画的接受度和潜在用途的研究。
本研究的目的是确定风湿病学家对医学漫画的接受度，并评估其在临床实践中的潜在用途。
在2024年德国风湿病大会上，共展出了8部由患者和艺术家预先联合设计的医学漫画。大会参与者能够自愿且匿名地参加一项标准化在线调查。记录社会人口统计学数据、对漫画的可理解性和有用性的评估以及它们在日常临床实践中的潜在可用性。
共有94人参与了调查，其中58.5%拥有医学专业资格。该展览的净推荐值评分为37.2%。理解效果评分为6.3±2.7，提高公众意识的潜力评分为8.4±1.8（0-10分制）。78.7%的参与者能够想象在他们的诊所展示这些漫画，63.8%的人赞成将其用于治疗和诊断说明。
结果表明医疗保健专业人员对漫画的接受度很高，并证实了它们在教育和交流中的潜在用途。对德语、经过医学验证的漫画形式进行结构化的进一步开发似乎是有意义的。
