Study Notes
Patient Education
-
Goal of patient education: Helping individuals, families, and communities achieve optimal health levels. Nurses aim to help patients become independent and self-sufficient.
-
Nurse's response to goal of patient education: The goal of educating others is to help people achieve optimal levels of health.
-
Purposes of patient education:
- Promotion of health and illness prevention
- Restoration of health
- Coping with impaired functions
-
Patient learning:
- Teaching is most effective when it responds to the learner's needs.
- Important to consider patient's context, prior knowledge, and motivations.
- Interactive learning is more effective than passive learning and should address patient's individual needs and preferences.
- Several techniques exist to make complex information easier to understand and retain, such as analogies and real life examples
-
Teaching techniques:
- Role-playing
- Discussion
- Question-and-answer sessions
-
Effective teaching environment: Well-lit, ventilated room; suitable temperature; conducive for patient focus. Avoid distractions and a setting that might cause stress or anxiety
-
**Learning styles:**Different learners respond to different approaches. Understanding learning styles (e.g., kinesthetic, visual, auditory) can help tailor instruction to specific learners. A strategy for engaging kinesthetic learners is to have them actively participate, using hands-on approaches to practice skills.
-
Evaluating learning outcomes: Checking that the patient can perform skills or accurately describe information demonstrates true learning. One approach is to ask the patient to perform the skill, explain the process, and identify common issues they may encounter. Another strategy encompasses observing the patient's application of knowledge, skill, or attitude change.
-
When to delay teaching: The teaching should be postponed until the patient's condition improves (e.g., resolved pain or fatigue). If there are medical complications (e.g. severe illness, fever) the sessions should be delayed until they improve. In situations like high anxiety, learning won't occur effectively.
