目的。缺乏读写能力的癌症患者特别容易因护理差异或护理障碍而经历不同的结果。低识字率患者的结果测量可能为以前由于填写纸笔表格的挑战而未被发现的问题提供新的见解。研究描述。开发了一个多媒体程序，以提供一个生活质量评估平台，该平台将为具有不同读写能力和计算机经验的患者所接受。每次一个项目显示在电脑触摸屏上，并伴有问题的录音阅读。使用各种颜色、字体和图形图像来增强可见性，并且在每个文本元素附近出现一个小图片图标，允许患者随心所欲地重复播放声音。提出评估问题以评估患者负担和偏好。一个由126名不同种族的癌症患者组成的小组，他们具有不同的读写能力和电脑经验，他们报告说，“会说话的触摸屏”（TT）很容易使用，并评论了多媒体方法的有用性。临床意义。TT是一种实用的、用户友好的数据采集方法，为具有一系列读写能力的患者提供了更大的机会来衡量自我报告的结果。版权所有：John Wiley Sons， Ltd。
Purpose. Cancer patients who are deficient in literacy skills are particularly vulnerable to experiencing different outcomes due to disparities in care or barriers to care. Outcomes measurement in low literacy patients may provide new insight into problems previously undetected due to the challenges of completing paper-and-pencil forms.Description of study. A multimedia program was developed to provide a quality of life assessment platform that would be acceptable to patients with varying literacy skills and computer experience. One item at a time is presented on the computer touchscreen, accompanied by a recorded reading of the question. Various colors, fonts and graphic images are used to enhance visibility, and a small picture icon appears near each text element allowing patients to replay the sound as many times as they wish. Evaluation questions are presented to assess patient burden and preferences.Results. An ethnically diverse group of 126 cancer patients with a range of literacy skills and computer experience reported that the 'talking touchscreen' (TT) was easy to use, and commented on the usefulness of the multimedia approach.Clinical implications. The TT is a practical, user-friendly data acquisition method that provides greater opportunities to measure self-reported outcomes in patients with a range of literacy skills.
