“…Even more, some participants selected the pictograph method in the second question, however, in the third question declared no intention to use the pictograph method in their professional career. The negative response of some participants may be related to misunderstanding of the symbols, in this order, adoption requires education and consistency of use and placement [22].…”

Objective: this questionnaire aimed to evaluate the approval of a new pictograph system for endodontic diagnosis by undergraduate and graduate students/endodontist instead of a conventional method. Methods: after a presentation to a total of 224 participants explaining the pictograph system, the participants (166 undergraduate students and 58 graduate students/endodontist) received a standardized questionnaire with three questions. The data were analyzed using the multprop macro basing on Tukey's test for multiple comparison with (P ? 0.05). The first question was to define the education level of the participants; the second question about which diagnosis method is preferred; and the third question about the intention of using one of the methods in the future. The questionnaire was realized in May 2019. The response rate was 97.7%. Results: the first question showed that 74.10% and 25.90% were undergraduate and graduate students/endodontist respectively. After statistical analysis there was no significant difference between the groups in the second and the third questions. In the second question (71.08% and 62.06%) of undergraduate and graduate student/endodontists respectively preferred the pictograph method over the conventional method. In the third question (60.24% and 51.72%) of undergraduate and graduate student/endodontists respectively showed interest in using the pictograph method in their professional career. Conclusion: the pictograph method in endodontic diagnosis is accepted by the majority of undergraduate and graduate students/endodontists. Training and experience affect the diagnosis making.

“…Related to graphic communication, icons are generally used as a means of visual communication. According to Barstow et al (2019), an icon is a visual interface with a certain meaning that represents or substitutes an idea by analogy or symbolically, which allows it to transmit information quickly and be recalled without effort. Icons have a symbolic meaning or connotation behind them, by representing a larger system through an object in a simplified, pictorial manner (Wiedenbeck, 1999).…”

“…21 Moreover, Barstow et al tried to identify a symbol representing universal access to fitness equipment in their study. 22 The authors asked participants to rank order nine symbols from one to nine, one denoting most effective symbol and nine denoting least effective symbol to represent accessible equipment. Among nine symbols, a Venn diagram of universal design of accessibility symbol with a dumbbell in the hand and a standing person with two dumbbells was ranked the most effective symbol to represent accessible equipment for both people with and without disabilities.…”

“…Among nine symbols, a Venn diagram of universal design of accessibility symbol with a dumbbell in the hand and a standing person with two dumbbells was ranked the most effective symbol to represent accessible equipment for both people with and without disabilities. 22 A modified version of international symbol of accessibility (active international symbol of accessibility), to denote universal accessibility of space and fitness equipment, with the original International Symbol of Accessibility, were ranked the lowest in representing inclusiveness of all disabilities in the same study, however. 22 The power of sports to bring vast numbers of people together is well known, therefore, the contribution of professional athletes in raising awareness about signs/symbols designed for accessibility cannot be ignored.…”

In media and in many areas, the use of signs/symbols are promoted to indicate the accessibility of those facilities. It is important for the society, including athletes, to raise awareness about the meaning and significance of those signs/symbols. Therefore, this study seeks to understand professional athletes' knowledge about and awareness of the signs/symbols designed and used for accessibility. Material and Methods: A descriptive research model was used to gather data from 124 professional athletes. A survey questionnaire including demographic information as well as open-ended questions, such as 'whether the accessibility symbol was seen or not? if so, where? and what would be done to improve awareness about accessibility symbols?', was conducted. Results: Although 'yellow tactile pavement for the blind' was most seen (n=117), 'international symbol of accessibility' was the most known (n=101) and understandable (n=103) accessibility sign/symbol. On the other hand, 'active international symbol of accessibility' was reported as the least seen (n=11), known (n= 12) and understandable (n=24) sign/symbol among all accessibility signs/symbols. Athletes emphasized the importance of raising awareness via internet, social media and tv. Only a few athletes mentioned that they have seen some accessibility signs/ symbols in sport related areas. Conclusion: Result revealed that knowledge and awareness of athletes practicing sports in different branches about accessibility signs/symbols were not sufficient. More accessibility signs/symbols should be used in sports-related areas to emphasize that services in sports facilities are inclusive of all individuals, and that the media should promote awareness of these accessibility signs/symbols.
