Introdução – Dadas as diferentes crises económicas, sociais e humanitárias, mudanças populacionais, urbanização rápida, pobreza e escassez de força de trabalho em saúde em diferentes localidades, os países têm se esforçado para garantir que os recursos destinados à saúde sejam gastos com sabedoria. Consequentemente, cada vez mais as tecnologias de informação e comunicação são utilizadas em todos os países e em todos os níveis de atenção em saúde para levar informações para os pacientes e a população em geral a fim de que a assistência em saúde seja de melhor qualidade e consiga chegar a um número maior de pessoas de forma equitativa. Objetivos – Este artigo apresenta um projeto cujo objetivo é disseminar evidências em saúde, em linguagem simples, para pacientes e população leiga e pobre falante da língua portuguesa, empregando-se tecnologias de informação e comunicação, com destaque para mídias sociais. Métodos – O projeto emprega instrumentos para coleta de dados quantitativos e qualitativos. A seleção das temáticas para as quais são construídos resumos de evidência considera o perfil epidemiológico de crianças e adolescentes atendidos em um hospital de alta complexidade, bem como dúvidas postadas pela população nas plataformas do projeto. Para a elaboração dos resumos de evidência há uma equipa treinada, formada por docentes do campo da saúde e da informação, bem como estudantes do campo da saúde. Para a construção dos resumos de evidência são empregadas bases de evidências como UpToDate, Dynamed, Access Medicine e PubMed via Pico. Antes de sua publicação nas plataformas, os resumos produzidos são revisados por especialistas. O público leitor pode avaliar cada evidência disponibilizada por meio de instrumento específico. No momento, o projeto está empregando várias plataformas como Blogger, Facebook e Twitter. Resultados – Ao longo de vinte meses, de 18 de abril de 2016 a 13 de dezembro de 2017, foram disseminados nas plataformas do projeto 272 resumos de evidência em linguagem simples sobre condições de saúde e seus tratamentos. O número total de acessos às plataformas do projeto foi de 149.579. Os três resumos de evidência mais acessados até o presente focaram: suicídio (2.407 acessos); linfoma não Hodgkin (1.831 acessos); e transtorno opositivo desafiador (1.345 acessos). Os países que mais acessaram as plataformas do projeto foram: Brasil, Estados Unidos, Rússia, Alemanha e Portugal. Conclusão – Os acessos realizados por pessoas que estão em diferentes países parecem demonstrar que a disponibilização de evidências em saúde em linguagem simples e em língua portuguesa vem suprir demandas transnacionais de falantes desse idioma, assim como demonstram que as tecnologias de informação e comunicação podem ser eficientes em levar informação em saúde a um grande número de pessoas. Assim, entende-se que o emprego de mídias sociais para a disseminação de evidências em saúde pode levar os resultados obtidos pela ciência ao grande público.
Introduction – Given the different economic, social and humanitarian crises, population changes, rapid urbanization, poverty and shortage of health workforce in different locations, countries have been struggling to ensure that health resources are spent wisely. Consequently, information and communication technologies are increasingly used in all countries and at all levels of health care to bring information to patients and the general population so that health care is of a better quality and reach more people in an equitable way. Objectives – To disseminate health evidence, in plain language, to patients and lay and poor Portuguese-speaking population using information and communication technologies, with emphasis on social media. Methods – The project uses instruments for the collection of quantitative and qualitative data. The selection of the topics for which evidence summaries are constructed considers the epidemiological profile of children and adolescents seen in a tertiary-care hospital, as well as doubts posted by the population on the project platforms. For the preparation of evidence summaries, there is a trained team, composed by professors from the field of health and information, as well as students from the health field. Evidence bases such as UpToDate, Dynamed, Access Medicine and PubMed via Pico are used for the construction of evidence summaries. Prior to their publication on the platforms, the produced summaries are reviewed by experts. The readers can evaluate each available evidence through a specific instrument. At the moment, the project uses many platforms such as Blogger, Facebook and Twitter. Results – Over twenty months, from April 18, 2016 to December 13, 2017, 272 evidence summaries in plain language about health conditions and their treatments were disseminated on the project platforms. The total number of accesses to the platforms of the project was 149,579. The three most accessed summaries of evidence to date focused on: suicide (2,407 hits); non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (1,831 hits); and oppositional defiant disorder (1,345 hits). The countries that most accessed the project platforms were: Brazil, United States, Russia, Germany, and Portugal. Conclusion – The accesses made by people from different countries seem to demonstrate that the availability of evidence in health in plain language and in Portuguese will meet the transnational demands of speakers of this language, as well as show that information and communication technologies can be efficient in taking information to a large number of people. Thus, it is understood that the use of social media for the dissemination of evidence in health can lead the results obtained by science to the general public.
