Abstract

A betegedukációs portálok létrehozása és működtetése kiemelkedő jelentőséggel bír a páciensek tájékozottságának és kezelésük eredményességének javításában. Az „urodoki.hu” weboldal példáján keresztül bemutatjuk, hogyan válhat egy ilyen platform megbízható, érthető és reklámmentes információforrássá, amely az orvosok és betegek közötti kommunikációt támogatja. Az oldal tartalma a korszerű európai irányelveken alapul, rendszeresen frissített, és közérthető nyelven kerül bemutatásra. Kiemelt figyelmet fordítottunk a vizuális anyagokra és videókra, amelyek nemcsak az információk könnyebb feldolgozását segítik, hanem a betegek szorongását is csökkentik. Az online kampányok – például a heredaganat korai felismerését célzó kampány – széles körű tájékoztatást nyújtanak, miközben előremozdítják a korai diagnózist és a túlélési esélyek javítását. A digitális megoldások nemcsak a betegedukációt forradalmasítják, hanem az egészségügyi ellátás hatékonyságát is növelik, miközben aktívan bevonják a pácienseket saját gyógyulásuk folyamatába. | In contemporary healthcare, patient education and health literacy have emerged as critical components in improving treatment outcomes and fostering effective doctor-patient communication. Due to the limited time available during medical consultations—often only 1015 minutes—patients frequently do not receive adequate, understandable information about their condition and treatment options. Studies indicate that nearly half of patients misunderstand medical instructions, and a significant portion forgets the information almost immediately after the consultation. This information gap contributes to uncertainty, anxiety, and lower adherence to medical recommendations. The literature further highlights a significant gap between patient expectations and the reality of information provision: while 70% of patients desire their physicians’ recommendations for reliable online health resources, only 4% actually receive them. Moreover, many online sources are often created for commercial purposes rather than public health education, leaving patients vulnerable to outdated or mis leading information. Based on a pilot survey involving 20 patients await ing surgery, it was found that although patients were generally aware of their conditions and their operating physicians, a substantial number could not accurately recount critical details regarding their diagnosis or the nature of the impending treatment. This observation underscores the necessity for supplementary patient education beyond the brief clinical interaction. In response to these challenges, the “urodoki.hu – Urológiáról Mindenkinek” online platform was developed to provide reliable, easily understandable, and regularly updated health information in line with European urological guidelines. The portal not only serves the authors’ patients but is also accessible to the broader public. The website has reached a wide audience through a series of targeted educational campaigns focusing on topics such as testicular or bladder cancer. For instance, an early detection campaign on testicular cancer successfully engaged nearly one million young users via online channels. Furthermore, the platform integrates prehabilitation resources for high-risk urology-surgical patients, offer ing physiotherapy, dietary guidance, and psychological support materials. By encouraging patients to engage in physical activity, adopt healthier eating habits, and manage stress, digital patient education can facilitate better preoperative preparation and postoperative re covery. The results highlight the significance of digital pa tient education in modern healthcare. Online platforms can bridge the gap between brief medical consultations and patients' growing demand for detailed, compre hensible health information. By improving health literacy, digital education can empower patients to make in formed decisions, recognize symptoms earlier, adhere to treatments more effectively, and ultimately improve survival rates. The urodoki.hu initiative demonstrates that patients are willing to engage with reliable online content and that structured digital health education campaigns can contribute to better public health out comes.
