验证文本简化对音频健康信息理解的帮助，发现其显著提升可读性与实际理解。
Comparative Evaluation of Text and Audio Simplification: A Methodological Replication Study
- 用原文和简化版文本生成音频，测试用户理解效果
- 44人实验显示简化文本提升感知易懂度和实际理解力
- 适合关注健康传播、无障碍信息设计的研究者
本研究是对Leroy等人（2022）研究的方法学复制，探讨文本简化在多媒体时代对健康信息理解的影响。在原研究基础上，我们扩展至音频内容，评估将原文本简化后自动生成的音频对用户感知难度与实际理解的影响。共招募44名参与者，分别聆听基于原始文本和简化文本生成的音频。结果表明，文本简化显著提升用户对音频健康信息的感知可理解性与实际理解能力，与原研究结论一致。同时，研究还考察了教育水平与语言能力的作用，揭示其对健康信息获取与理解的潜在影响。研究证实文本简化工具在提升健康素养方面的实用价值，建议针对不同受众制定差异化沟通策略。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This study serves as a methodological replication of Leroy et al. (2022) research, which investigated the impact of text simplification on healthcare information comprehension in the evolving multimedia landscape. Building upon the original studys insights, our replication study evaluates audio content, recognizing its increasing importance in disseminating healthcare information in the digital age. Specifically, we explored the influence of text simplification on perceived and actual difficulty when users engage with audio content automatically generated from that text. Our replication involved 44 participants for whom we assessed their comprehension of healthcare information presented as audio created using Leroy et al. (2022) original and simplified texts. The findings from our study highlight the effectiveness of text simplification in enhancing perceived understandability and actual comprehension, aligning with the original studys results. Additionally, we examined the role of education level and language proficiency, shedding light on their potential impact on healthcare information access and understanding. This research underscores the practical value of text simplification tools in promoting health literacy. It suggests the need for tailored communication strategies to reach diverse audiences effectively in the healthcare domain.
