    Study Notes

    Teaching Strategies

    • Establish teaching goals and expectations for patients regarding CVAD management.
    • Determine who is responsible for learning the material (patient or caregiver).
    • Consider the time required for the patient to learn to manage the CVAD.
    • Implement teaching strategies, considering health literacy.
    • Use plain language in both written and verbal teaching.
    • Employ the teach-back method.

    Plain Language

    • Healthcare providers often use jargon and acronyms instead of plain language.
    • Plain language ensures patients understand instructions the first time.
    • Plain language includes organizing information logically, breaking complex info into smaller parts, using simple language, and defining technical terms.
    • Some examples of health care terminology with plain language replacements are provided.
    • Technical terms may remain necessary in some cases.

    Teach Back Technique

    • Establish a patient-centered approach for educating patients and families.
    • This technique involves a teach-back or "show me" approach.
    • After teaching, the patient explains the information.
    • This isn't to test them, but to ensure they understood.
    • This approach is endorsed by the National Quality Forum.
    • It's part of the informed consent process for proposed treatments or procedures.
    • Small amounts of information are provided, then checked for understanding.
    • Open-ended questions are used instead of yes/no questions to ensure clarity.
    • If the patient isn't understanding, re-teach using a different approach and check understanding again.
    • Acknowledge the need for re-teaching and use the "show me" method for skills like flushing or infusion.

    Attention to Health Literacy

    • Health literacy is an individual's capacity to access, understand, and use health information to make appropriate decisions.
    • Factors affecting health literacy can include the patient's physical and intellectual ability, past experiences, motivation, and comfort levels, as well as pain, weakness, and/or depression.
    • Assess a patient's health literacy to tailor care.

    Principles of Plain Language

    • Keep sentences short and be specific.
    • Use terms that are easily understood, such as "central line" instead of "CVAD" once the patient understands the device.
    • Use terms like "Hickman" rather than more technical medical terminology.
    • Develop patient education materials that are easy to read.
    • Include bullet points, short sentences, and use easily understood language.
    • Organize information; place the most important information first.
    • Use a font size that is easy to read (12- to 14-point).
    • Use a reading level appropriate to patients (4th -6th grade).
    • Avoid using all capital letters.
    • Include relevant illustrations.

    Use of Websites and Social media

    • Many patients rely on websites and social media for health information.
    • Some sites are not trustworthy, which raises concerns about safety, privacy, and the spread of misinformation.
