Study Notes
Patient Education
- Patient education is an important role for nurses
- Reasons for high-quality education include shorter hospitalizations, increased demands on nurses' time, increased patients with chronic illnesses, and the need to provide information to acutely ill patients.
- Creating a teaching plan can reduce healthcare costs, improve care quality, and keep patients informed about their specific health care needs.
Purposes of Patient Education
- State nurse practice acts recognize patient teaching within the scope of nursing practice.
- The Joint Commission sets standards for patient and family education, requiring nurses to assess patient learning needs and provide education about many topics.
- Educational topics include medications, nutrition, medical equipment use, pain management, patient care plans, and health promotion.
- Primary purpose of patient education is to support individuals, families, and communities in achieving optimal health.
- Patient education can decrease overall healthcare costs through increased patient compliance with medical and nursing regimens. This reduces treatment frequency and hospital stays.
Purposes of Patient Education (continued)
- Patients now take an active role in healthcare decisions.
- Shorter hospital stays mean more complex care at home.
Restoration of Health
- One goal of patient education is to cope with and restore function.
- Patient education covers topics from pre-operative teaching to adjusting to assistive devices and lifestyle changes.
Concept Attributes and Criteria
- Teaching is planned based on a patient assessment
- Learning outcomes are goal-oriented
- Outcome is to change patient behavior or attitude
Concept Attributes and Criteria (continued)
- Patient education is foundational to professional nursing practice.
- Patient education involves interpersonal communication, teaching, and learning.
- Successful teaching requires teaching to address a learner's needs.
Teaching Approaches and Methods
- Teaching approaches include telling, participating, and reinforcement.
- Instructional methods include verbal one-on-one discussions, group instruction, demonstration, role-playing, and printed materials.
- Remember: Encourage client to check blood sugar prior to administering insulin to integrate teaching with patient care.
- Teaching styles (and materials) should address the patient's individual needs and learning style
Implementation and Considerations
- Maintain learning attention and incorporate teaching into patient care.
- Select appropriate instructional methods considering cultural diversity and potential disabilities.
- Use different teaching tools addressing special needs of children and elderly.
- Teaching approaches should reflect a learner's needs as assessed in consideration of the patient’s learning style
- Consider time limitations and competing priorities when planning teaching
Evaluation and Documentation
- Learning outcomes should align with learning domains.
- Evaluation methods include observation, client interviews, checklists, tests, and demonstrations
- Effective teaching involves ongoing evaluation and measurement of patient understanding. Patient feedback is critical in determining the effectiveness of teaching.
Barriers to Learning
- Common barriers include education level too high, language difficulties, cultural differences, culturally inappropriate materials, lack of motivation, and lack of social support.
Barriers to Teaching
- Common barriers include lack of time, competing priorities, poor teaching environment, lack of teaching materials, and low priority assigned to teaching.
Scope of Patient Education
- Patient education is a method of helping people incorporate health-related behaviors.
- Methods include formal learning environments, and patient-nurse learning situations.
- Patient education considers patient needs in a physical environment with factors including ventilation, furniture, and temperature. Teaching and learning styles should adjust for those variables.
Learning Domains
- Cognitive learning increases patients' knowledge
- Psychomotor learning develops or improves skills
- Affective learning influences attitudes
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
- Patients' motivation to learn is most effectively addressed when lower-level needs are met before moving to higher level needs.
- This should be considered in the teaching plan by addressing patients' needs from basic to self-actualization.
Learning Domains and Their Role in Patient Education
- Understand patient needs and consider that the type of knowledge needed influences the teaching method.
- Each method should be tailored for learning style, culture, and literacy level.
Nursing Diagnosis
- Nursing diagnoses should best reflect patient's learning needs.
- Common nursing diagnoses related to education include deficient knowledge, ineffective health maintenance, ineffective home maintenance, ineffective family therapeutic regimen management, ineffective self-health management, and noncompliance with medications.
