Abstract

This research investigates the patient leaflets used in terms of instructional message design principles. Non-experimental comparative design has been used in this study. The study sample consists of 6 different types of patient leaflets that are distributed in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department of Erzurum Atatürk University Research Hospital for the first research question, and 36 patients for the second research question. Patients have successfully applied the exercises in printed materials appropriate to these principles. According to the results obtained, these principles must be followed during the preparation of these leaflets. The success level of leaflets to educate Physiotherapy and rehabilitation patients is increasing when the message design principles are taken care of. The leaflets that comply with instructional message design principles have serious implications for patients’ success level for exercises.
