3. Patient education involves a process where health professionals
give knowledge and
educate both the caregivers and the patients on how they should
adjust their health behaviors to
improve their health status and of those other people next to
them. A caregiver who has
undergone patient education is likely to give proper and quality
care to the patients. This paper
focuses on explaining how patient education influences how
care is provided in a health care
system or facility. To achieve this, the essay involves an
interview process of an older person
where personal experiences about the health care system are
well given. The part of the interview
is to ask questions concerning the patient's experience with
their healthcare professional and the
type of education they received about their current or past
health issues. Therefore, the
interviewee for this case, is Mr. Joseph Henning, an old man
aged 71 years old. Joseph was

4. recently diagnosed with diabetes. He has had several health
issues in the past which has had both
good and bad outcomes based on the healthcare professionals
educating styles and applications
in relation to proper health care.
Questions asked:
1. Did the patient education representative, as well as the
caregiver, give you
instructions that guide you on how to care for yourself after an
operation or during
illness?
2. Did the health care professional, doctor, pharmacist, nurse,
elder counselor, or
caregiver advise you on diet, exercise, or medication?
3. Who assisted you at your home or place of residence after
your operation or illness?
4. Do you know of any assistance services, I.e., medication,
food, and transportation that
would help you stay in your home as you get older?
In the interview, Joseph stated that during his care in the
hospital before discharge, the
health professionals informed him about the life changes he
would have to make with the new

5. diagnosis of diabetes. He stated that he saw a nutritionist help
him with diet changes he must
make and enabled him to understand the importance of eating
right. An endocrinologist
explained to him the type of diabetes he had and what this
meant for his care. Joseph was
diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (juvenile or insulin-dependent
diabetes), which meant that his
pancreas could not produce insulin ( Nielsen et al., 2016 ).
Joseph had to learn how to check his
blood sugar and how to give the right amount of insulin based
on his reading. Joseph stated
although he learned a lot about checking his blood sugar, he
was still not comfortable with using
the glucometer or even understanding what the readings meant
after he was discharged. Joseph
also stated that he was discharged with a different glucometer
that he did not know how to use
and had to reach out to the family to figure things out. Joseph
had to depend a lot on the family
for support of this new diagnosis. His wife was present during
the education process, and the
type of foods he should eat and those that he should eat were
emphasized. The importance of

6. physical exercises and how they could help in the management
of diabetes were also taught by
health professionals. Joseph was confused about how he got the
disease and could not understand
since the disease had never affected anyone in his family
before.
THE INFLUENCE OF PATIENT EDUCATION ON
HEALTHCARE AMONG THE
ELDERLY 4
Joseph has several family members that are nurses, and they
have offered information to help
him to understand this new diagnosis, and they further
encouraged him to always keep in touch
with his doctor. He was also encouraged about proper food care
and to report changes in urinary
status that may occur. Joseph states that although it was not the
best education from the
beginning, the more questions he asked led to his better
understanding of the disease process,
and he has been able to care for himself with the continuing
knowledge he has received from the
healthcare professionals ( Grabeel, & Tester, 2018 ). Although
Joseph states that his wife is

7. health-conscious because she struggles with hypertension, and
cholesterol issues and she cooks
healthy meals daily, but the doctor's office did inform me that
meals on wheels deliver well-
balanced elderly meals to keep them from missing meals and
that this and other programs are
offered through his local social services department. Also,
Joseph stated that there are also
transportation services through access that can take him to
appointments if he needed. Joseph
says that his insurance has a nurse that calls periodically to
check in on him and comes out to
check his medication regimen to ensure that he knows how to
take his medications as well as
paying for his medications.
In conclusion, the quality of healthcare patient education before
or after discharge from
the hospital is important to keep the patient from returning to
the hospital due to his lack of
understanding of how to take proper care for himself.
Continued support is the overall best
practice for increasing the patient's ability to remain healthy
and alive.
