Study Notes

Learning Objectives

Explore the goals of client-centered education
Discuss client-centered learning and L.E.A.R.N.S (RNAO)
Describe the three learning domains (cognitive, affective, psychomotor)
Examine the Transtheoretical Model of Change
Describe the role of the nurse in health teaching
Discuss factors affecting a client's readiness and ability to learn
Examine the characteristics of different learning styles according to developmental stage and cultural diversity
Relate the teaching process to the nursing process and clinical judgment model
Analyze health literacy and its impact on health

CNA (2017) Code of Ethics

Patients have the right to make informed decisions about their care
Information for patient decisions must be accurate, complete, and relevant to their needs
Nurses should anticipate patient needs for information based on their overall condition (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual), identified risks and interprofessional treatment plans

Health Teaching

A focused form of instructional dialogue used in client-centered relationships
The purpose is to provide clients and families with knowledge and life skills needed to make good decisions, slow or prevent progression of illness, and promote the highest possible quality of life

Outcomes of Client Education

Maintaining and promoting health and preventing illness
Health restoration
Coping with impaired functioning

Three Learning Domains

Cognitive: Understanding content, a prerequisite for changing attitudes and developing psychomotor skills
Affective: Changing attitudes and promoting acceptance
Psychomotor: Hands-on skills development

Role of Nurse in Health Teaching

Nurses act as guides, coaching patients on actions to improve overall health
Nurses provide information on how patients can learn to better care for themselves and connect them to appropriate community supports
Nurses provide knowledgeable emotional support to help clients minimize the impact of temporary setbacks

Role of Nurse in Teaching and Learning

The role of the nurse in patient education is multifaceted
Involves creating and adapting the environment to facilitate learning, using a patient-centered approach in assessing learning needs, and applying the most appropriate educational strategy

Explore the Goals of Client-Centered Education

Engaging clients as active participants in the learning process
Ensuring that health teaching interventions are supportive of the client's preferences and values
Utilizing participatory strategies that build on client strengths
Collaborative learning environments that allow nurses to offer sufficient information, specific instruction, and emotional support
Starting where the learner is and supporting their natural desire to learn.

Facilitating Client-Centered Learning

Focuses on a safe environment
Active participation
Therapeutic relationship
Using multiple strategies to support learners, using the approach of reinforcing new knowledge and strengthening self-management.

RNAO L.E.A.R.N.S

Client-centered care is based on four pillars
Client-centered care
Promoting health literacy
Building knowledge and skills
Supporting self-management strategies

Factors Affecting Client Readiness and Ability to Learn

Level of anxiety
Physical ability
Comorbid health conditions
Crisis and life transitions
Level of social support
Health literacy
Developmental level
Culture
Self-awareness

Culture and Developmental Stage: Learning Styles and Health Literacy

Exploring how culture influences learning and how developmental stages influence learning
Discussing how culture influences what is learned, how people learn, and how nurses integrate clients' cultures into their teaching processes

Teaching Methods Based on Patient's Developmental Capacity

Methods for teaching different age groups: Infant, Toddler, Preschooler, School-age child, Adolescent, Young or Middle-aged adult, Older person

Learning Styles

Visual: Learns best by seeing, likes demonstrations, organizes thoughts by writing things down.
Auditory: Learns best with verbal instructions, details not as important, talks things through, discusses pros and cons.
Kinesthetic: Learns best by doing, hands-on approach, learns by touch and action, loses interest in detailed instructions, tries things out.

Health Literacy

The ability to use printed and written information in society, to achieve one's goals, and to develop knowledge
Includes essential skills, such as prose knowledge and skills, document skills, numeracy, and problem-solving skills
Important in using health information to maintain good health.
Defined as the capacity to obtain, communicate, process and understand basic health information, and services to make appropriate health decisions.

Comparison of Nursing Process, Clinical Judgment Model, and Teaching Processes

Compares three models: Nursing Process, Clinical Judgement, and Teaching.

Discuss the Importance of Health Literacy

Understanding: Health literacy entails understanding the cognitive and social skills essential for accessing and applying health information effectively, which facilitates good health practices.
Application: The motivation and ability of individuals to use and apply information determine whether promotion and maintenance of good health are achievable.
Lack of understanding: If a client cannot understand what is being taught, learning will not happen.

Health Literacy Pillars

Capacity to obtain health information
Understanding of health information gathered
Ability to apply health information

Additional Considerations

Estimated 6 in 10 Canadian adults lack health literacy skills necessary for adequately managing health and health care, and there are more people with low health literacy compared to those with low literacy.
Mastery of health literacy often requires simultaneous use of many skills (prose, document, numeracy, problem solving).
