Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the comparative readability analysis of the informative texts on the websites of the Faculties of Dentistry of Restorative Dentistry of the universities. Method: In this study, the informative texts of the websites of Restorative Dentistry of public and private dentistry faculties in Turkey were analysed. The websites of the institutions were analysed in 2 categories as private or public dentistry faculties. Patient information texts on 64 included websites were evaluated according to Ateşman Readability Index. Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman Correlation test were used to evaluate the data (p < 0.05). Results: The median value of the Ateşman Readability Index score was 50.75. It was found that 3.1% of the websites were very easy, 14.1% were easy, 37.5% were of medium difficulty, 34.4% were difficult and 10.9% were very difficult. There was no significance between the median values of information about Restorative Dentistry in private dentistry faculties (for all parameters) and the median values of information about Restorative Dentistry in private dentistry faculties (for all parameters). There was a positive correlation between Ateşman readability index score and number of sentences (r=0.547; p < 0.001), a positive correlation between Ateşman readability index score and number of paragraphs (r=0.583; p < 0.001), and a negative correlation between Ateşman readability index score and average word length (r=-0.701; p < 0.001). Conclusion: The readability of university texts on Restorative Dentistry is generally of medium difficulty. Readability programmes can be used to increase the readability of the information conveyed to the patient in information about Restorative Dentistry.
Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı üniversitelerin Diş Hekimliği Fakülteleri Restoratif Diş Tedavisi web sitelerindeki bilgilendirme metinlerinin okunabilirlik analizinin karşılaştırılmalı değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntem: Çalışmada Türkiye’deki devlet ve vakıf üniversitelerinin Diş Hekimliği Fakülteleri Restoratif Diş Tedavisi web siteleri bilgilendirme metinleri incelendi. Kurumlara ait web sitesi değerlendirmesi için vakıf ve devlet diş hekimliği fakültesi olarak iki kategoriye ayrıldı. Dahil edilen 64 internet sitesinde yer alan hasta bilgilendirme metinleri Ateşman Okunabilirlik İndeksi'ne göre değerlendirildi. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde Mann-Whitney U testi ve Spearman Korelasyon testi kullanıldı (p 0,05). Ateşman okunabilirlik indeks puanı ve cümle sayısı arasında pozitif korelasyon (r=0,547; p < 0,001), Ateşman okunabilirlik indeks puanı ve paragraf sayısı arasında pozitif korelasyon (r=0,583; p < 0,001), Ateşman okunabilirlik indeks puanı ve ortalama sözcük uzunluğu arasında negatif korelasyon (r=-0,701; p < 0,001) bulundu. Sonuç: Üniversitelere ait Restoratif Diş Tedavisi ile ilgili metinlerin okunabilirliği genel olarak orta zorluktadır. Restoratif Diş Tedavisi ile ilgili bilgilendirmelerde hastaya aktarılan bilgilerin okunabilirliğini artırmak amacıyla okunabilirlik programlarından faydalanılabilir.
