Özet
Aim: With technological developments, it has become easier for individuals to access previously inaccessible or difficult-to-find information. The Internet is the most valid way to access and share information quickly and che-aply. Health information is one of the most searched topics on the internet. This study aimed to evaluate the patient information texts about bruxism on Turkish websites regarding readability and content. Materials and Methods: While the Ateşman readability index was used to determine the readability level of the texts, content evaluation was evaluated with general questions about the definition, etiology, clinical types, diagnosis, and treatment of bruxism. SPSS 23 statistical package program was used for data analysis. Results: Within the scope of the study, 161 websites were examined and 100 were evaluated. Private dental clinics (78.2%) were more prominent in the search distribution. According to the statistical analysis, 85% of the websites were found to be of medium difficulty, 10% were found to be dif-ficult, and 5% were found to be easy. In addition, it was observed that information on the etiology and causes of bruxism (62%), clinical forms (68%), diagnosis (58%), and treatment (55%) were insufficient in the patient information texts on the websites. Conclusion: While preparing patient information texts, our society's health literacy level should be considered and more easily readable and unders-tandable texts should be prepared. Public institutions should also inspect these texts before they are published on the internet, communicate the necessary corrections to those concerned, and allow them to be published after the corrections.
