  • Learning is the internal process of acquiring knowledge, skills, and desirable behaviours.
  • Learning is a change in behavior, observable and measurable.
  • Learning can happen anywhere, anytime due to environmental stimulation.
  • Learning includes knowledge, skills and attitudes.

Education Process

  • The process comprises assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation.

Education Process Parallel to Nursing Process

  • The assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation phases mirror the education process.

ASSURE Model

  • A paradigm for nurses to recognize and carry out the education process.
  • Steps include analyzing learners, outlining objectives, selecting instructional methods/tools, utilizing teaching materials, requiring learner performance, and evaluating/revising the learning process.

Patient Education

  • Imparting information to patients about their health status and needs.
  • Aims to enable patients to improve health through changing health-related behaviors.
  • This information can improve health outcomes, from prevention to healing.

General Goals of Patient Education

  • Adapting behaviors to maintain health and prevent illness.
  • Following treatment programs during illness, returning to prior or optimal health levels.
  • Minimizing complications, enhancing quality of life, carrying out daily tasks, and making informed decisions.
  • Empowering patient-directed autonomous decision-making.

Five Strategies for Effective Patient Education

Role of Nurse as Health Educator

  • Nurses play a crucial role in patient education, requiring appropriate training in instructional skills and a solid foundation in teaching and learning principles.
  • Successful patient education involves learning facilitation to motivate and create a positive environment for client learning.

Barriers to Education and Learning Obstacles
