“…The process of educational material development has been widely reported in the literature, 10–13 whereby participants were asked for feedback on the usefulness, credibility, and readability of information. 12,13 Unlike previous studies, the discussion groups in this study focused on whether women would actually take and/or read the leaflets, because taking and reading is the first crucial step in educating people using leaflets. The reasons provided by the participants were analyzed according to individual components, including the front cover and illustrative material.…”

Abstract:Background: Many health service sectors produce leaflets for health education, but specific issues such as their overall content and design (layout, graphics, illustrations) are seldom discussed. Important features contributing to the effectiveness of any leaflet is the extent to which it is read by its target audience. The purpose of this study was to examine the acceptability of two different leaflets on abstinence from alcohol during pregnancy. Methods: Four semistructured group discussions were conducted among 33 pregnant women. They were asked if they would take, read, and save the leaflets, and to give a reason for their decision. The reasons were discussed according to the components of the leaflet, including its front cover, content, and illustrations. Results: The design of a leaflet's front cover plays a key role in attracting pregnant women, and, in the event that readers are interested in the topic, they prefer a leaflet with detailed content, and a real-life example, eg, a photograph of a child with fetal alcohol syndrome. Conclusion: Positive key characteristics should be incorporated into educational leaflets to enhance the attention given to the material by pregnant women, as well as to facilitate retention of the information.

“…La population s'intéresse aux informations médicales puisqu'elle considère de plus en plus que la santé est une responsabilité qui lui appartient (Limon Mendizabal et Crespo Carbonero 2001). Ce rôle actif du patient le conduit à participer dans le processus de prise de décision réalisé par les professionnels de la santé concernant le traitement du patient (Prosser et King 2009). Cette attitude active du patient est renforcée par les applications d'Internet.…”

Le but de cet article est d'évaluer le niveau d'interactivité proposé aux patients dans les pages d'accueil des hôpitaux américains spécialisés dans le traitement du cancer. Pour ce faire, nous avons réalisé une analyse bibliographique sur la question : caractère pédagogique d'Internet, accessibilité, rôle du médecin, outils interactifs sur la page d'accueil, et contexte du cancer aux États-Unis. Ensuite, nous avons analysé la page d'accueil de 49 hôpitaux américains à l'aide de 13 indicateurs. La conclusion de l'article est que la page d'accueil constitue un outil d'éducation sanitaire qui doit s'orienter selon la satisfaction des besoins communicationnels et expérientiels du patient.
