Amaç: Üçlü test, gebelikte bebekte olabilecek Nöral tüp defektleri, Down sendromu ve Trizomi 18 gibi doğumsal anomalileri taramakta kullanılan ikinci trimester tarama testidir. İnternet, hastaların tıbbi işlemleri daha iyi anlayabilmek için oldukça sık başvurdukları bir kaynaktır. Bu çalışma ile üçlü test konusunda internet sitelerinin okunabilirlik düzeylerinin saptanması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: İnternet arama motoru Google'da ‘üçlü test’ ve ‘üçlü tarama testi’ anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak yapılan aramada toplam 200 internet sitesine ulaşıldı. On cümleden az bilgi içeren siteler, sohbet, forum siteleri çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Okunabilirlik düzeyleri, Ateşman ve Bezirci-Yılmaz formülleri kullanılarak hesaplandı. Bulgular: Dışlama kriterlerinin uygulanması sonrasında 33 internet sitesi değerlendirme için uygun bulundu. Bunlardan %54.5'i özel klinik, %33.3'ü web sitesi ve %9.09’u özel laboratuvarlara ait sitelerdi. İnternet sitelerinin okunabilirlik düzeyinin Ateşman formülüne göre orta güçlükte (57.6) Bezirci-Yılmaz formülüne göre ise lisans seviyesinde olduğu saptanmıştır (12.27). Metinlerin birçoğu üçlü testin testinin tanımı, uygulama zamanı ve testin yorumlanması konusunda bilgi içermekte idi. Ancak, bu metinlerin genelinde yanlış pozitifliğe neden olan durumlardan yeterince söz edilmediği görüldü. Sonuç: İnternet sitelerinde üçlü test ile ilgili bilgilendirme metinlerinin okunabilirlik düzeyinin düşük olduğu saptanmıştır. Mevcut bilgilendirme metinlerinin okunabilirlik ve içerik yönünden revizyonu için bu konuda etkin biyokimya dernekleri ve sağlık kurumlarının işbirliği içinde olması gerektiği kanaatine varılmıştır.
Purpose: The triple test is the second trimester screening test used in scanning birth anomalies such as nerve tube defects that may occur in the baby during pregnancy, Down syndrome and Trizomi 18. The Internet is a source that patients often use to better understand the medical processes. This study is aimed at determining the levels of readability of websites on the triple test. The Internet search engine has reached a total of 200 websites in a search using the keywords "three-test" and "three-screen test" in Google. Sites containing less than ten sentences of information, chat, forum sites have been disabled. The readability levels were calculated using Fireman and Bezirci-Yılmaz formulas. Results: 33 websites were found suitable for evaluation after the implementation of the exclusion criteria. Of these, 54.5 percent were private clinics, 33.3 percent were websites and 9.09 percent were websites belonging to private laboratories. The level of readability of the websites is found to be in the middle of difficulty according to the Fireman formula (57.6); according to the Bezirci-Yılmaz formula, it is at the license level (12.27). Many of the texts contained information about the definition of the triple test, the time of application and the interpretation of the test. However, it appeared that these texts did not mention enough of the situations that caused the wrong positive. The result: Information texts related to the triple test on websites have been found to have a low level of readability. For the revision of the existing information texts in terms of readability and content, it has been established that effective biochemical associations and health institutions should cooperate in this regard.
Aim: The triple test is a second trimester screening test used to screen for congenital anomalies such as Neural tube defects, Down syndrome and Trisomy 18 during pregnancy. The internet is a resource that patients often use in order to better understand medical procedures. With this study, it is aimed to determine the readability levels of internet sites about triple test. Method: A total of 200 web sites were reached by the internet search engine Google using the keywords ‘triple test’ and ‘triple screen test’. Sites with less information than ten sentences, chat, forum and commercial blog sites were excluded from the study. The average readability level was analyzed using Ateşman and Bezirci-Yilmaz readability formulas. Results: Following the application of the exclusion criteria, 33 websites were suitable for evaluation. Of these, 54.5% were private clinic, 33.3% were web sites, and 9.09% were private laboratory. The readability of the web sites was moderately difficult (57.6) according to the Ateşman formula, and comprehensible to people at undergraduate degree according to the Bezirci-Yılmaz Formula (12.27). Most of the texts included information about the definition, application time and interpretation of the test results. However, in these texts, conditions that causing false positivity has not been adequately addressed. Conclusion: It has been determined that the readability level of informative texts related to triple test on web sites was low. It has been concluded that the cooperation of the effective biochemical societies and health care institutions is necessary for the revision of existing information texts.
