Some things Patient education can do Increase knowledge of intended audience Influence perceptions and beliefs that could shape norms/policy Reinforce healthy behavior Increase demand for services Refute myths Advocate a position Increase surveillance and disease awareness Distribute emergency messages in a real time Strengthen organizational relationships Show the benefit of behavior change Prompt action Done properly clarify the true risk (and/or benefit) of a disease or behavior change With other strategies can begin to tackle difficult problems such as access With varying success, cause sustained individual behavior change

A few studies on Use of Multimedia in Patient Education

Multimedia in Patient Education

Outcomes of videotape instruction in clinic waiting area. - Oermann MH, Webb SA, et al. College of Nursing, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, The purpose of our study was to examine the effectiveness of general health-promotion teaching for patients in the waiting room of a clinic, using focused videotape instruction. FINDINGS: There was a significant gain in knowledge for patients who viewed the videotape in the waiting room (t = 5.43, df = 213, p < .0001), and they were more satisfied with their education compared with the control group (t = 4.73, df = 213, p < .0001). IMPLICATIONS: This study supports focused video instruction as an for disseminating health information in the waiting area.

A video lesson series is effective in changing the dietary intakes and food-related behaviors of low-income homemakers. Department of Human Nutrition, Foods and Exercise, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, State University, Blacksburg 24061, USA. OBJECTIVE: To examine the relative cost-effectiveness of a self-administered video series in delivering nutrition education to low-income homemakers. RESULTS: Significant improvements were observed in both groups for fruits, calcium, and vitamins A and C. The Video Group improved on fiber intake (P<or=.005). The groups did not differ on dietary or behavior change (P=.2357). Duplication and implementation costs of the video series totaled 4,820 dollars, or 36% of the traditional lesson cost of 13,463 dollars. http://www.mrw.interscience.wiley.com/cochrane/clcentral/articles/458/CN-00458458/frame.html Cost effective Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 2003, VL: 103

The video had a statistically significant impact on knowledge and willingness to use assistive devices . IMPACT OF A VIDEO INTERVENTION ON THE USE OF LOW VISION ASSISTIVE DEVICES . Robert B. Goldstein, Elizabeth Dugan, et al Optom Vis Sci. 2007 March; 84(3): 208–217. Informs about newer therapies

Pharmacy Practice Research Group, School of Pharmacy, Queen's University of Belfast, Northern Ireland. The use of video as a method of instructing subjects on correct inhaler technique was compared with the written and personal instruction of 150 volunteer subjects with no previous experience of such a device. Video was found to be as effective as personal tuition by a pharmacist and significantly (P less than 0.05) superior to the manufacturer's package insert in teaching correct inhaler. Asthmatic patients found the video useful at identifying mistakes they were making and felt that this approach to their education should be more widely available. http://www.mrw.interscience.wiley.com/cochrane/clcentral/articles/169/CN-00338169/frame.html Audiovisual demonstration for patient counseling in the use of pressurized aerosol bronchodilator inhalers.
