他汀类药物一般耐受性良好，在降低患者发生原发和继发心血管事件的风险方面有效。许多将从他汀类药物治疗中受益的患者在第一年内要么不坚持服用他汀类药物，要么停止服用。我们开发了一本针对低健康素养患者的有声手册，向他们传授他汀类药物的好处和风险，以帮助患者坚持他汀类药物治疗。通过焦点小组和迭代设计，为讲英语和讲西班牙语的患者编写了一本有声手册。然后，我们将这本小册子与我们目标患者群体中132名患者的护理标准进行了比较，以衡量其对他汀类药物知识和理解的影响。与接受标准护理材料的患者相比，患者喜欢这本有声手册，并且在听完后知识显著增加。这本音频手册显示了作为一种工具的前景，可以有效地在临床实践中使用，向患者传授他汀类药物治疗。
Statins are generally well tolerated and effective at reducing a patient’s risk of both primary and secondary cardiovascular events. Many patients who would benefit from statin therapy either do not adhere to or stop taking their statin medication within the first year. We developed an audio booklet targeted to low health literacy patients to teach them about the benefits and risks of statins to help the patients adhere to their statin therapy. Through focus groups and an iterative design, an audio booklet was developed for both English-speaking and Spanish-speaking patients. We then compared the booklet with standard of care in 132 patients from our target patient population to measure its impact on knowledge and understanding of statins. The patients enjoyed the audio booklet and showed significant increases in knowledge after listening to it when compared with those who received the standard of care materials. The audio booklet shows promise as a tool that can be used effectively in clinical practice to teach patients about statin therapy.
