“…[14][15][16][17]22 Readability can be improved with the following recommendations: avoid long paragraphs, use short and simple sentences, do not use abbreviations or technical terms, avoid subordination, passive voice and double negatives, suppress the use of numbers, symbols and percentages, use the minimum amount of punctuation other than semicolon, discard subparagraphs and offer practical examples that illustrate complex concepts. 16,23,24 Readability of a document can also be affected by the font or its size, among other elements. 25 Barrio-Canalejo et al found that six out of every 10 analyzed documents were written in small print.…”

Introduction: Knowing if the document that supports the informed consent (IC) granted by the patient who undergoes genetic laboratory tests is legible and understandable is important. Objective: To analyze the readability of IC documents for laboratory genetic tests (LGT) in Mexico. Methods: Readability of 10 free IC forms on the internet used for LGT was analyzed using the Legible.es program; the Flesh index, Fernández-Huerta version, and the INFLESZ scale were evaluated. The number of syllables, words, phrases, paragraphs and strange words, time to read the document and minimum years of education required to understand it were counted. Results: 60 % of the analyzed IC documents were found to have poor readability. On average, 3,290 syllables, 1,459 words, 124 sentences, 58 paragraphs and 52 strange words were counted. The time required for reading it was seven minutes and minimum level of education to understand it was six years. Conclusions: The analyzed IC forms for LGT have low readability rates and exceed the recommended number of words. We propose an IC model for LGT in Mexico that complies with appropriate readability indexes for a correct understanding of the document.

“…También es fundamental que los organismos de control propongan una guía clara y estandarizada para la elaboración de los prospectos que tenga en cuenta el nivel de comprensión de la población ya que, como se señaló, el mal uso del medicamento -debido a la incomprensión de la información detallada en el prospecto-puede provocar iatrogenia en el usuario, con graves consecuencias para su salud 4 . Además y como plantean varios autores, la participación de los usuarios en el diseño y elaboración de los prospectos, siguiendo metodologías protocolizadas, podría mejorar en gran medida su legibilidad 4,9,18,19 . Otros autores han señalado también que las aplicaciones de buen diseño y lenguaje simplificado mejoran las percepciones, la comprensión, la capacidad de localizar la información y la legibilidad de los prospectos 20 .…”

Introducción:La Disposición ANMAT 753/2012: establece definiciones y lineamientos generales sobre la información que deben contener prospectos, etiquetas y rótulos de medicamentos de venta libre (MVL).Objetivos: analizar la adecuación a la normativa de una muestra de MVL; promover y divulgar acciones estratégicas viables a desarrollar por los farmacéuticos a fin de mejorar la información para los pacientes.Métodos:En un curso, dirigido a farmacéuticos comunitarios, se desarrollaron una actividad práctica y un foro de debate sobre la adecuación a la Disposición ANMAT 753/2012. Se registró el cumplimiento de 17 pautas de la normativa en una muestra de 66 MVL. Duración del foro: 2 semanas. Se realizó un análisis de contenido sobre las estrategias aportadas por los participantes.Resultados:El 87,9% de los medicamentos de la muestra incumple con al menos 1 de las pautas analizadas. Los mayores incumplimientos se relacionaron a composición inadecuadamente descripta, ausencia de número telefónico para consultas, acción terapéutica incomprensible y requerimientos del envase. Se plantearon estrategias a desarrollar en farmacias individualmente, agrupadas o a través de los colegios profesionales.Conclusión principal:Se observó un alto incumplimiento en las pautas analizadas de la normativa. Las estrategias planteadas se encaminan a conseguir el empoderamiento del paciente a través de educación sanitaria sobre el uso de MVL y el acceso a fuentes de información confiables que sean comprensibles para el usuario. Es necesario fortalecer los circuitos de control de la información que deben contener los MVL y promover la participación y el compromiso del farmacéutico.

Objective: To validate the content of an educational material aimed at mothers and caregivers on healthy feeding for children less than two years of age.Methods: Quantitative study for content validation of an educational material containing three educational modules and respective folders, elaborated on the basis of official references for healthy feeding for children under two years old and adapted to the Brazilian context. Content validation was made through consensus conference in two stages by seven experts.Results: In the first stage, an individual and anonymous evaluation was made and the items analyzed by the seven experts averaged seven or more, with standard deviation below three. However, some items in the educational modules (operational and adherence) and Leaflet I (motivation and culture) reached cut-off values. The second stage involved a face-to-face meeting with five of the seven experts, expressing their opinions and seeking for a new consensus. The items whose results were close to the cut-off had an expressive increase in importance and consensus level after the meeting.Conclusions: The quantitative data obtained after the consensus meetings were superior to the predefined cut-offs, and the content of the proposed educational material was consensually validated by all participating experts. The consensus conference was an efficient methodological technique to build and validate educational instruments.
