SANZ-LORENTE, María; GARCIA-SANCHEZ, Alba; SANZ-VALERO, Javier y WANDEN-BERGHE, Carmina. Infographics in the health sciences: application to the sexually transmitted diseases. JONNPR [online]. 2020, vol.5, n.7, pp.689-701. Epub 05-Jul-2021. ISSN 2529-850X. https://dx.doi.org/10.19230/jonnpr.3483.
Objective.
To describe the infographics on sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) recovered through Google Images® and analyze their information and possibilities of use.
Methods.
Cross-sectional descriptive study. The infographics were obtained by searching with the terms "infographic", "sexually transmitted diseases" and "sexually transmitted infections". To select the images for the study, a sample size was calculated by estimating parameters in an infinite population. The date of the search was 15 of March 2018.
Results.
386 infographics were selected for each term (diseases/infections), discarding 198 (20.4%) images due to documentary noise; 718 infographics (99.5%) were informative. Most of them, came from personal blogs, 129 (16.7%) or individual, 54 (7.0%). They presented some type of license 31 (4.0%) infographics. More than half (Median = 0.4 Mpx) of the analyzed images presented adequate resolution.
Conclusions.
It was possible to recover infographics about STDs but with a high "documentary noise" that was mostly informative. There was a low institutional affiliation of these images that did not have a convenient use of Creative Commons licenses, although most of them presented a good image resolution.
