This study was designed to evaluate the quality, content, usability, and efficacy of a Web site prepared for the purpose of improving the caregiving capability of family members who provide care for stroke survivors at home. The DISCERN score for the Web site was found to be 4.35 over 5. The first section that assesses reliability of the Web site was 4.38 over 5; mean score of the second section that measures the quality of the provided information on treatment/care options was 4.30, and mean score of the third section that gives a general evaluation of the material was 4.1. The Web site content achieved an average score of 3.47 over 4 after evaluation by experts. The Web site system usability score was found to be 79.4 over 100. The Web site was utilized mostly for exercises in bed (76.3%; n = 29), use of medications, and patient safety (68.4%; n = 26). It was determined that those who were younger and employed and had no previous experience of nursing any patient utilized relatively more from the section of patient nutrition and oral care and married family caregivers from the body hygiene section. The Web site quality and content were judged to be good and reliable to use. The Web site was efficiently used by caregivers.

“…Given that the teaching resource was developed to accommodate the majority of the learner's needs from a readability and literacy level, a defined target of 80% use of the teaching resource would be recommended. 37 If tracking reveals low levels of resource use, then this information may suggest that revisions to the content are required or that utility of the resource to the learning process is questionable, provided the prelearning patient assessment did not preclude its use. Additionally, evaluation of patient satisfaction in terms of their level of involvement in the prelearning assessment, learning goals, and plan will be obtained by asking the patients to rate their level of engagement in the learning goals and plan using a 5-point Likert Scale.…”

“…To ensure wide patient usability of the written teaching resource and evaluation of the design characteristics, readability of the written tool was conducted using the print material evaluation SMOG method to ensure that the reading level was at a grade 5 or lower. 37 Additionally, engagement of patients in the design and development of the written teaching resource and revised patient assessment and learning plans was used to ensure that patients had an opportunity to assess their self-care agency capacity in relation to health literacy and the appropriateness of the revised prelearning assessment data criteria and teaching resource. This patient engagement exercise helped to inform whether the teaching resource and documentation tools would meet the majority of the patients' needs.…”

Objective: To elaborate and validate an information manual for cardiac catheterization. Methods: This was a methodological study. The manual was elaborated based on experience of researchers and data from the literature. The manual was validated by 8 nurses by using the Delphi technique; to be considered valid, agreement must reach 100%. Posteriorly, it was evaluated by 35 patients; at this stage the mean score must be 4 or greater. Results: The manual covers the following topics: definition; location and time of conduction; how the procedure was done; and descriptions of care before, during, and after the procedure. A total of four rounds were needed to validate the manual with nurses. In the second step, all questions about the manual had a high mean score (4.83 to 4.91, p<0.001), making the manual valid for patients. Conclusion: The manual was elaborated and considered valid by nurses and patients. The manual can be applied to different institutions. ResumoObjetivo: Elaborar e validar um manual informativo sobre o cateterismo cardíaco. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo metodológico.
