目的：书面健康教育材料只有在患者能够阅读、理解和记忆的情况下才能有效。本文的目的是回顾有关应纳入书面健康教育材料以最大限度地提高其有效性的特征的文献，确定在哪些特征应纳入书面健康教育材料方面存在共识和争论，并提出建议，供卫生专业人员在审查现有材料和设计新材料时使用。方法：对已发表的研究和教育文章进行文献回顾。在设计书面健康教育材料时，需要考虑大量的特点，以便它们适合目标受众并有效。虽然大多数特征都应该被包括在内，但还需要进一步的研究来探索某些特征（如插图）对书面材料有效性的贡献，以及精心设计的书面材料对患者结局的影响。结论：卫生专业人员需要为患者提供书面的健康教育材料，这些材料是患者-根据健康教育书面材料设计的最佳实践原则进行定位和设计。
Purpose: Written health education materials can only be effective if they can be read, understood, and remembered by patients. The purpose of this article was to review the literature about features that should be incorporated into written health education materials to maximize their effectiveness, identify where there is consensus and debate about which features should be incorporated, and develop recommendations that health professionals can use when reviewing their existing materials and designing new materials.Method: Literature review of published research and education articles.Results: There is a large number of features that need to be considered when designing written health education materials so that they are suitable for the target audience and effective. Although there is consensus about the majority of features that should be included, further research is needed to explore the contribution of certain features, such as illustrations, to the effectiveness of written materials and the effect of well-designed written materials on patient outcomes.Conclusions: Health professionals need to provide their patients with written health education materials that are patient-orientated and designed according to the best practice principles in written health education material design.
