Özet

Background: Previous research has shown that artificial intelligence (AI) technology is effective in a wide range of applications. Although studies exist in other specialties evaluating AI-generated educational materials, no study was found focusing on Turkish-language discharge education materials specifically for total hip replacement patients. This study was conducted using the ChatGPT 4.0 program for patients who underwent total hip replacement to develop an artificial intelligence-supported discharge education material that patients who will be discharged after surgery can read and understand. Methods: In this methodological study, expert opinions were obtained while preparing the artificial intelligence-assisted discharge education material for patients who underwent AI-assisted discharge education, and the educational needs of the patients were determined by reviewing the literature. Then, 6 commands were given in the ChatGPT-4 program to create the educational content. The Turkish readability of the created educational content and the readability of the health literature were evaluated using formulas. The validity of the total hip replacement discharge material was presented to 10 experts. Experts assessed the comprehensibility and applicability of the educational material using the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool and the Global Quality Scale, which assesses the quality of educational materials. Results: It was concluded that the readability index of the total hip replacement discharge education material for Turkish was 69.5, and the Turkish readability level was “easily understandable”. The readability index of health literature was 9.30, 7.90, 8.09, 60.0, and 10.00, respectively. When the internal consistency coefficient between the experts was examined, it was 0.84. It was determined that the Patient Education Materials Evaluation Tool understandability score average was 80.60 ± 9.74, and the actionability score average was 77.4 ± 19.10. The Global Quality Scale (GQS) score average was found to be 4.20 ± 0.79 (range: 3–5). Conclusion: At the end of the study, it was determined that the educational material was adequate in terms of understandability and actionability. The Turkish readability level was also reasonable and easily understandable.
