Abstract(s)
A dor orofacial crónica é uma condição persistente e debilitante que pode afetar os tecidos moles e duros da face e da cavidade oral, podendo ter um impacto significativo na qualidade de vida de um individuo. Estima-se que afete 10-15% da população sendo que não existe cura e o seu tratamento é multifacetado. Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a qualidade e legibilidade da informação existente online em língua portuguesa, referente ao tratamento da dor orofacial crónica.
Para isso foi efetuada uma pesquisa online da frase “tratamento para dor orofacial crónica” nos três motores de busca mais usados em Portugal – Google, Bing e Yahoo – sendo avaliadas as primeiras 25 páginas. O Índice de Flesh de Facilidade de leitura foi usado para avaliar a legibilidade e o instrumento DISCERN para avaliar a qualidade.
Da avaliação dos sites elegíveis verifica-se que a informação disponibilizada em português acerca do tratamento da dor orofacial crónica apresenta baixa qualidade e baixa legibilidade, podendo ser inadequada.
