“…Apesar de terem sido utilizados outros critérios para a avaliação, os autores concluíram que a informação disponível em português na internet sobre as três doenças escolhidas é frequentemente inadequada e insuficiente. 13 Este estudo assemelha-se ao nosso quanto aos objetivos; porém, além da qualidade, avaliamos a apreensibilidade e a adequabilidade do conteúdo dos websites.…”

Métodos: Utilizou-se a palavra chave "GLAUCOMA" em quatro buscadores para a pesquisa na internet. Os 30 primeiros sites que apareceram em cada buscador foram registrados e aqueles que apareceram em pelo menos dois buscadores foram incluídos no estudo. Como ferramentas para a avaliação da qualidade, apreensibilidade e adequabilidade foram utilizados o escore de Sandvik, o índice de Flesch-Kincaid e o Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM), respectivamente. Resultados:A informação disponibilizada nos sites selecionados apresentou qualidade mediana (escore médio de Sandvik 7,7 ± 1,4), apreensibilidade média de 16,0 ± 1,7 anos de escolaridade e foi considerada inadequada para o público-alvo (SAM médio de 21,4 ± 6,4 %). Conclusão:A maioria dos sites na internet sobre glaucoma apresentou qualidade moderada. Para a leitura compreensível da matéria contida nos sites, era necessário que o leitor tivesse pelo menos concluído a terceira série do ensino médio. Todos os sites foram considerados inadequados para a compreensão da informação publicada. Palavras-chave:Glaucoma; informação; internet; Controle de Qualidade; Educação de Pacientes. INTRODUÇÃOO glaucoma compreende um grupo de neuropatias ópticas progressivas que têm em comum a degeneração lentamente progressiva das células ganglionares da retina, resultando em aparência característica do disco óptico e comprometimento concomitante do campo visual. ABSTRACT Purpose:To evaluate the quality, readability and suitability of the information on glaucoma available in Portuguese in the Internet. Study design:Cross-sectional limited survey of internet resources. Methods:We used as keyword "GLAUCOMA" for research on four search engines in the internet. The first 30 sites that appeared on each search engine were recorded and those that appeared at least in two search engines were selected. The Sandvik score, Flesch-Kincaid formula and the Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM) were used as tools to evaluate quality, readability and suitability, respectively. Results:The information provided on the websites presented moderate quality (mean Sandvik score 7.7 ± 1.4), readability of 16.0 ± 1.7 years of education and were unsuitable (mean SAM score 21.4 ± 6.4 %) for the target audience. Conclusion:Most websites about glaucoma had moderate quality. In order to understand the information, an average of 16 years of formal education was deemed necessary. All websites were unsuitable to the target population.

“…Such studies often look at information available to, and used by, people in particular geographic areas, for example, pediatric asthma in Saudi Arabia [10], preconception care in Italy [11], and medical information in Brazil [12] and Portugal [13]. A PubMed search for research into online medical information, including, for example, use of resources such as Wikipedia or Google in medical education and availability of information for patients, provides thousands of search results.…”

BackgroundThe Internet is a widely used source of information for patients searching for medical/health care information. While many studies have assessed existing medical/health care information on the Internet, relatively few have examined methods for design and delivery of such websites, particularly those aimed at the general public.ObjectiveThis study describes a method of evaluating material for new medical/health care websites, or for assessing those already in existence, which is correlated with higher rankings on Google's Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs).MethodsA website quality assessment (WQA) tool was developed using criteria related to the quality of the information to be contained in the website in addition to an assessment of the readability of the text. This was retrospectively applied to assess existing websites that provide information about generic medicines. The reproducibility of the WQA tool and its predictive validity were assessed in this study.ResultsThe WQA tool demonstrated very high reproducibility (intraclass correlation coefficient=0.95) between 2 independent users. A moderate to strong correlation was found between WQA scores and rankings on Google SERPs. Analogous correlations were seen between rankings and readability of websites as determined by Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level scores.ConclusionsThe use of the WQA tool developed in this study is recommended as part of the design phase of a medical or health care information provision website, along with assessment of readability of the material to be used. This may ensure that the website performs better on Google searches. The tool can also be used retrospectively to make improvements to existing websites, thus, potentially enabling better Google search result positions without incurring the costs associated with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) professionals or paid promotion.
