Understandability and utilizability were assessed using the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Print Materials(PEMAT-P). Results A total of 34 web sites were included in this analysis. The overall mean quality rating was(48.50±6.83),the understandability was 69.23%(53.85%,73.90%),and the utilizability was 33.33%(20.00%,40.00%).
