目标：应用双重视觉/文本模式的方法来开发和评估适合于低文化程度的艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者的带有象形图的药物信息传单。识别和推荐这种类型的信息design.Methods的最佳实践：一个简单的传单，结合象形图设计的抗逆转录病毒治疗方案。认知测试的理解进行了39个低识字，南非，抗逆转录病毒初治成人。被试被要求定位和解释信息，并询问他们对传单布局和内容的看法。结果：平均理解的传单是60%。基本药物信息是最好的理解。总体而言，对艾滋病毒/艾滋病及其核心概念缺乏了解，只有一半的参与者认为这份简单的小册子“容易”阅读。所有赞同列入pictograms.Conclusion：这种测试方法用于ARV初治个体是非常宝贵的，在确定需要修改的领域之前，它在患者中使用。与象形文字更明显，更好地理解，但只有当他们被密切juxtaposed.Practice的影响：传单设计应考虑文化和读写能力，学习理论和设计原则，包括视觉效果，以提高吸引力，提高理解，并涉及最终用户。口头咨询应伴随书面信息。(C)2011爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
Objective: To apply a dual visual/textual modal approach in developing and evaluating a medicine information leaflet with pictograms suitable for low-literate HIV/AIDS patients. To identify and recommend best practices in this type of information design.Methods: A simple leaflet incorporating pictograms was designed for an antiretroviral regimen. Cognitive testing for understanding was conducted in 39 low-literate, South African, antiretroviral-naive adults. Participants were required to locate and explain the information, and were questioned on their opinion of leaflet layout and contents.Results: Average understanding of the leaflet was 60%. Basic medication information was the best understood. An overall lack of knowledge of HIV/AIDS and its core concepts was found. Only half the participants considered this simple leaflet "easy" to read. All endorsed the inclusion of pictograms.Conclusion: This testing method used in ARV-naIve individuals was invaluable in identifying areas needing modification before its use in patients. Text associated with pictograms was more noticeable and better understood, but only if they were closely juxtaposed.Practice implications: Leaflet design should consider culture and literacy skills, be informed by learning theory and design principles, include visuals to enhance appeal and improve understanding, and involve end-users. Verbal counseling should accompany written information. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
