| مستخلص: | Purpose: Ensuring that educational materials geared toward transgender and gender-diverse patients are comprehensible can mitigate barriers to accessing gender-affirming care and understanding postoperative care. This study evaluates the readability of online patient resources related to gender-affirming vaginoplasty. Methods: Online searches for vaginoplasty were conducted in January 2023 using two search engines. The readability scores of the top ten websites and their associated hyperlinked webpages were derived using ten validated readability tests. Results: A total of 40 pages were assessed from the vaginoplasty searches. The average reading grade level for all the webpages with relevant educational materials was 13.3 (i.e., college level), exceeding the American Medical Association's recommended 6th grade reading level. Conclusion: Complex patient resources may impede patients' understanding of gender-affirming vaginoplasty. Online patient education resources should be created that are more accessible to patients with diverse reading comprehension capabilities. Competing Interests: The authors have no conflicts of interest to report. (© 2024 The Authors.) |
