Patient Education Week 9 Jemma Cornwall RN BSN MSN Copyright © 2021, Elsevier Inc. All Rights Reserved. Patient Education Chapter 25 2 2 Patient Education Patient education is one of the most important nursing interventions in any healthcare setting. Through education, nurses empower their patients to prevent acute and chronic disease, decrease disability, and improve wellness (Miller and Stoeckel, 2019). 3 3 Patient Education Patient education is a component of the TeachingLearning domain of nursing practice, aimed at enhancing a patient’s quality of life, improving selfcare, reducing hospital admissions, and improving treatment adherence (Flanders, 2018). 4 4 Patient Education Patients have the right to know and be informed about their health risks, diagnoses, prognoses, and available treatments to help them make intelligent, informed decisions about their health and lifestyle. 5 5 Patient Education Part of patient-centered care is to make the appropriate clinical judgments needed to identify patients’ educational needs and then integrate educational approaches that acknowledge patients’ understanding of their own health 6 6 Patient Education A well-designed, comprehensive teaching plan provides a good fit with each patient’s unique learning needs and ultimately changes behaviors to improve patient outcomes. Patient Education Comprehensive patient education includes three important purposes, each involving a separate phase of health care: Health promotion Illness Prevention Health restoration Coping. 7 Copyright © 2021, Elsevier Inc.

When you value and provide education, patients are better prepared to assume healthcare responsibilities. Nursing research about patient education strategies supports the positive impact of patient education on patient outcome 12 Copyright © 2021, Elsevier Inc.

Identify a need for information Establish learning objectives The nurse (the sender) conveys information The patient (the receiver) learns the information Provide feedback Evaluate the success of the teaching plan Copyright © 2021, Elsevier Inc.

Remember: Recognizing or recalling knowledge from memory 2. Understand: Construct meaning from different types of messages or activities, such as interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, summarizing, inferring, comparing, or explaining. 3. Apply: Carrying out or using a procedure through executing or implementing 16 17 Taxonomy for Cognitive Learning Blooms Taxonomy 6 cognitive learning Behaviors include: 4. Analyze: Breaking materials or concepts into parts, then determining how the parts relate to one another how they interrelate, or how the parts relate to an overall structure or purpose 5. Evaluate: Making judgments based on criteria and standards through checking and critiquing 6. Create (formerly Synthesis): Putting elements together to form a coherent or functional whole; reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure through generating, planning, or producing 18 Affective Learning Affective learning Affective learning deals with learning how to express feelings and emotions and to develop values, attitudes, and beliefs needed to improve health. 19 Affective Learning The simplest behavior in affective learning is receiving, and the most complex is characterizing. Affective learning includes the following (Wilson, 2021): 1. Receiving: Learner is passive (not engaged) but is alert and willing to receive information. 2 Responding: Requires active participation. This refers to a learner’s active attention to stimuli, verbal and nonverbal responses, and motivation to learn. 3. Valuing: Attaching worth and value to the acquired knowledge (e.g., new coping skills) as demonstrated by the learner’s behavior through acceptance, preference, or commitment. 20 Affective Learning 3. Organizing: Developing a value system. Learner internalizes values and beliefs involving (1) the conceptualization of values and (2) the organization of a value system. 4. Characterizing: The highest level of internalization. Acting and responding with a consistent value system; requires introspection and self-examination of one’s values about an ethical issue or particular experience. 21 Psychomotor learning psychomotor learning involves the development of manual or physical skills, such as learning how to walk or how to type on a computer. 22 Psychomotor Learning Psychomotor learning includes the following: 1. Fundamental: Skills, movements, or behaviors related to walking, running, jumping, pushing, pulling, and manipulating. They are often components for more complex actions. 2. Perception: Skills related to kinesthetic (bodily movements), visual, auditory, tactile (touch), or coordination abilities as they are related to the ability to take in information from the environment and react.. 23 Psychomotor Learning 3. Mechanism: Higher level of behavior in which a person gains confidence and proficiency in performing a skill that is more complex or involves several more steps than a guided response. 4. Complex overt response: Smoothly and accurately performing a motor skill that requires complex movement patterns. 24 Psychomotor Learning 5. Adaptation: Motor skills are well developed, and movements can be modified when unexpected problems occur. 6. Origination: Using existing psychomotor skills to create new movement patterns and perform them as needed in response to a particular situation or problem. 25 Quick Quiz 1 (1 of 2) 1.
