- Effective patient education results in better health outcomes, safety, adherence, independence, and satisfaction for patients.
- The process of patient teaching involves assessing learning needs, developing objectives, planning teaching, implementing strategies, and evaluating learning. Nurses must consider various factors
Nurses’ patient education is important for building patients’ knowledge, understanding and preparedness for self-management. The ultimate goal of patient educational program is to achieve long-lasting changes in behavior by providing patients with the knowledge to allow them to make autonomous decisions to take ownership of their care as much as possible and improve their own outcomes.
CONCEPT OF PATIENT EDUCATION
Education on health issues is necessary for a patient’s physical and mental health.
Everybody finds themselves in situations where they require special knowledge and skills in order to meet their basic needs and sustain their lives.
All patients have the right to be educated on maintaining their health, disease prevention, and health promotion.
Health promotion is the process of advancing knowledge, influencing attitudes, and determining relevant solutions so that people can make informed choices, change their behavior and subsequently attain a desirable level of physical and mental health improve their social and physical environment.
Effective patient education starts from the time patients are admitted to the hospital and continuous until they are discharged. Nurses should take advantage of any appropriate opportunity throughout a patient’s stay to teach the patient about self-care.
The self- care instruction may include teaching patients how to inject insulin, bathe an infant or change a colostomy pouching system.
MEANING OF PATIENT EDUCATIONThe Latin origin of the word doctor “decree” means “to teach" and the education of patients and their families, as well as communities, is the responsibility of all physicians.
Family physicians are uniquely suited to take a leadership role in patient education.
Family physicians build long- term, trusting relationships with patients, providing opportunities to encourage and reinforce changes in health behavior.
Patient education enables patients to assume better responsibility for their own health care, improving patients’ ability to manage acute and chronic disorders.
Patient education provides opportunities to choose healthier lifestyles and practice preventive medicine.
Patient education attracts patients to the provider and increases patients’ satisfaction with their care, while at the same time decreasing the provider’s risk of liability.
Patient education promotes patient-centered care and as a result, patients’ active involvement in their plan of care.
Patient education increases adherence to medication and treatment regimens, leading to a more efficient and cost- effective health care delivery system
Patient education ensures continuity of care and reduces the complications related to illness and incidence of disorder/disease.
Patient education maximizes the individual’s independence with home exercise programs and activities that promote independence in activities of daily living as well as continuity of care needed

The goals of discharge planning are to provide continuity of care and ensure the patient's and family's understanding of the treatment plan and safe return home. The document outlines the steps of the discharge process, including assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation.
Vital signs provide important health information about a patient. The four main vital signs are body temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate, and blood pressure. Taking vital signs can help detect changes in a patient's condition and determine if medical intervention is needed. Normal ranges are 97.8-99F for temperature, 60-100 beats per minute for pulse, 12-16 breaths per minute for respiration, and below 120/80 mmHg for blood pressure. Factors like illness, medications, and environment can cause vital signs to fall outside normal ranges.
The document discusses hot and cold applications, including their purposes, mechanisms of action, effects on the body, indications, contraindications, potential complications, and best practices. Hot applications are used to relieve pain and congestion, provide warmth, promote healing and suppuration, and decrease muscle tone. Cold applications are used to reduce pain, temperature, control hemorrhage and bacteria growth, prevent gangrene and edema, and decrease inflammation. Both work through mechanisms like vasodilation/constriction and changes in blood flow, metabolism and viscosity. Contraindications include open wounds, malignancies and certain medical conditions. Complications can include burns, maceration, edema if not properly administered.
1. A bed bath cleanses the skin and helps keep patients comfortable and free from infection. It is important for personal hygiene and stimulates circulation.
2. Proper bed bath procedure involves explaining the process to the patient, gathering supplies, washing from head to toe using clean water and washing between areas, and ensuring privacy is maintained.
3. A complete bed bath washes the entire body while a partial bed bath focuses on key areas like the face, underarms, and genitals. Proper technique is important for patient comfort and dignity.
Admission involves allowing a patient to stay in the hospital for observation, investigation, and treatment. There are two main types of admission - emergency admission for acute conditions requiring immediate treatment, and routine admission for planned investigations or treatments. The admission procedure involves transporting the patient from the outpatient department to the inpatient ward, preparing the patient's unit and bed, collecting information from the patient, and completing necessary records. Nurses play an important role in facilitating admission by properly assessing the patient's condition and needs, answering any questions, and making the patient feel at ease in the hospital environment.
There are several documentation systems used in healthcare to record patient data, either electronically or on paper. Some common systems include narrative charting, source-oriented charting, problem-oriented charting using the SOAP format, PIE charting, focus charting, charting by exception, computerized documentation, and case management using critical paths. Problem-oriented charting using the SOAP format is a structured approach that documents subjective data, objective data, assessment, and plan.

Patient education involves influencing patients to change their knowledge, attitudes, and skills to improve their health. It considers the whole patient and sets goals for desired health outcomes. Patient teaching is one part of education that involves imparting information, but does not ensure behavioral changes. The goals of patient education are to help patients adapt to illness, cooperate with therapy, solve new health problems, and prevent hospitalization. The patient education process mirrors the nursing process through assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation steps to provide education interventions that improve patient health.
The document discusses the principles of health education, including educational diagnosis, participation, using multiple methods, planning and organizing, basing education on facts, segmenting audiences, assessing needs, and respecting local culture. It also describes the targets of health education as individuals, groups, and communities. There are three levels of health education for disease prevention: primary aims to prevent disease onset, secondary aims to prevent disability, and tertiary aims to avoid major disability for chronic conditions. Finally, it lists schools, workplaces, healthcare settings, and homes as common locations for delivering health education.
Patient Education in Nursing Foundation.pptxBinal Joshi
The document provides information on patient education for nurses. It discusses the importance of patient education, the nurse's role in teaching patients, and integrating the nursing process into patient education. The purposes of patient education are to promote health, restore health, help patients cope with illness, and prevent disease. Effective patient education requires assessing learning needs, developing teaching plans, using appropriate teaching methods, and evaluating learning.
The document discusses patient counseling, which involves providing patients with information, guidance, and support to help them make informed healthcare decisions. Effective patient counseling includes open communication, education on medical conditions and treatments, ensuring understanding of medication management, encouraging behavioral changes, and addressing emotional needs to promote informed decision-making and well-being. Regular counseling can benefit patients with chronic illnesses, undergoing surgery, taking complex medications, and more by improving health outcomes and adherence through ongoing support and monitoring of their care.
Patient teaching, also known as patient education, involves informing patients to secure informed consent and promote patient compliance. The nurse's role includes assessing learning needs, developing objectives, planning and implementing teaching, evaluating learning, and documenting the process. Key aspects of patient teaching include maintaining health, preventing illness, and teaching patients to manage their condition. The teaching process considers the patient's educational background, health perceptions, and knowledge. Nurse educators must plan teaching appropriately and be available for incidental lessons.
The document provides information about patient education. It defines patient education as the process of providing patients with relevant information about their condition to help them better understand it and available treatment options. The benefits of patient education include patient empowerment, better health outcomes, lower readmission rates, improved quality of life for chronic patients, better healthcare experience and satisfaction, and lower healthcare costs. A model of patient education outcomes shows how education can lead to knowledge, attitude, behavior and health status changes. The document outlines the steps in patient education as assessment of the patient, design of instruction, selection of teaching strategies, providing education, and evaluation.
Information is the knowledge derived from study, experience or instruction. It can also be defined as a collection of facts or data.
Education is both the acquisition of knowledge and experience and the development of skills, habits and attitudes that help a person lead a full and meaningful life.
Communication is the interaction between two or more persons that involves the exchange of information between the sender and the receiver.
Therefore, information, education and communication are closely related to health and play a vital role in creating awareness about health, mobilizing people and making them knowledgeable about health-related factors through efficient mass communication methods.
This document discusses patient education in healthcare. It notes that patient education has two main categories: clinical patient education which is a systematic teaching process between providers and patients, and health education which focuses on wellness, prevention and health promotion. The goals of patient education are to change health behaviors, improve health status and compliance. An effective patient education process involves assessing the patient, designing an instruction plan with objectives, selecting teaching strategies and resources, implementing the teaching, and evaluating the results.

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21. It is the most common chromosomal anomaly, occurring in about 1 in 800 to 1000 live births. People with Down syndrome often experience cognitive delays, characteristic facial features, and health issues such as congenital heart defects and thyroid problems. Treatment focuses on medical care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to help patients develop skills and manage health conditions. Life expectancy has increased to 50-55 years with proper support and treatment.
Oxygen therapy involves administering oxygen at concentrations higher than in the air to treat low oxygen levels in the blood. It can be used for various conditions like respiratory failure, heart failure, and shock. Oxygen must be prescribed with the concentration, flow rate, and duration. It is delivered through various devices like nasal cannulas, oxygen masks, tents, and venturi masks. Safety precautions are needed as oxygen is flammable. Proper assessment, planning, and technique are required to administer oxygen therapy effectively and prevent complications like oxygen toxicity.
Child hospitalization involves admitting a child to the hospital for treatment, observation, or investigation. It can cause stress due to separation from family and an unfamiliar environment. Loss of control is also stressful, especially for younger children who rely on routines. Providing developmentally appropriate activities, maintaining routines when possible, encouraging independence, and promoting understanding can help minimize stress. The nurse aims to prevent separation when able and support the child's emotional needs.
This document discusses food adulteration, standards, and regulations. It defines food adulteration as the addition of non-permitted foreign matter or removal of ingredients from food. Food standards are set by experts and authorities to measure quality and ensure safety. The Codex Alimentarius Commission sets international food standards to protect health, educate consumers, and facilitate trade. National laws like the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act and Essential Commodities Act establish compulsory and voluntary standards in India.
Gastroenteritis, also known as infectious diarrhea and gastro, is inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites. Common symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain. It is generally a short-term, self-limiting condition but can lead to dehydration in infants and young children. Treatment involves oral rehydration with solutions containing electrolytes and sugars to replace fluid and minerals lost from diarrhea and vomiting. Antibiotics may be used in cases caused by bacteria. Prevention relies on proper hygiene including handwashing and drinking boiled water.

This document discusses imperforate anus, a birth defect where the anus is improperly developed such that stool cannot pass normally from the rectum. The etiology is unclear but genetic factors are involved. Diagnosis involves physical exam, radiological imaging, and other tests. Treatment involves initial colostomy if needed followed by anoplasty surgery to create an opening. Prognosis is generally good, especially for cases without additional defects.
Fats are more completely absorbed during pregnancy. Key nutrients important during pregnancy include protein, fatty acids like DHA and linoleic acid, calcium, iron, and vitamins. Nutritional recommendations include sufficient calories, iron, and other micronutrients from a variety of food sources. Maternal nutrition and weight factors can impact fetal development and health outcomes.
Renal failure is the inability of the kidneys to excrete waste, concentrate urine, and conserve electrolytes. It can be acute or chronic. Acute renal failure causes a sudden, almost complete loss of kidney function that may be reversible. Chronic renal failure is a progressive, irreversible deterioration of renal function that eventually leads to end-stage renal disease if left untreated. Causes include prerenal issues like dehydration, intrarenal issues like toxicity or infection, and postrenal issues like obstruction. Both types damage nephrons, decrease glomerular filtration rate, and increase metabolic wastes in the blood and edema. Clinical manifestations include oliguria, electrolyte imbalances, edema, hypertension, and neurological
Complementary feeding should begin at 6 months of age when breast milk alone is no longer sufficient to meet nutritional needs. Signs a baby is ready include holding their head steady while sitting, opening their mouth when others eat, and appearing hungry soon after breastfeeding. Complementary foods should start liquid and gradually increase in consistency, while continuing frequent breastfeeding. A variety of nutrient-rich foods should be introduced slowly and hygienically to provide balanced nutrition as the baby grows.
- The document provides information on the importance of postnatal diet for new mothers through 12 points. It defines postnatal diet and discusses the benefits of adequate intake of folate, vitamin B12, iron, calcium, iodine, and vitamin D.

The overall objective is to educate new mothers on postnatal nutrition.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness and reversible airflow obstruction. It is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors such as family history, prenatal sensitization, exposure to allergens and pollutants, and infections. Asthma is classified based on severity from mild to severe. Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Diagnosis involves assessing symptoms and lung function tests. Treatment focuses on bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids to prevent symptoms and exacerbations.
Cleft lip and palate is an abnormal separation of tissues in the oral-facial region that occurs during fetal development. It can be caused by genetic factors, viruses, or other toxins. Symptoms include separation of the lip or palate, nasal distortion, ear infections, feeding difficulties, and speech and dental problems. Treatment involves surgery to repair the cleft, as well as speech therapy and orthodontics. Surgical repair of the cleft lip is usually done at 3-9 months of age, while cleft palate repair is typically between 18-24 months. Non-surgical treatments like dental obturators may also be used. Nursing care focuses on safe feeding and preventing aspiration during intake.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
2. Unit- XIII
• Patient education
• Patient Teaching – Importance, Purposes,
• Process
• Integrating nursing process in patient teaching
3. Definition
•Patient education can be defined as the process of influencing
patient behavior and producing the changes in knowledge,
attitudes and skills necessary to maintain or improve health.
•‘Patient Education is any set of planned, educational activities
designed to improve patients’ health behaviors and/or health
status’ Lorig et al (1996)
4. Contd…
•The process may begin with the imparting of information, but
also includes interpretation and integration of the information in
such a manner as to bring about attitudinal or behavioral
changes.
•Goal of educating others about their health is to help individuals,
families or communities achieve optimal levels of health.
•Patient education is an essential component of providing safe,
patient –centered care
5. Patient teaching
•Patient teaching refers to activities aimed at improving
knowledge of the patient. It refers to only one component of the
patient education that is the process of actual imparting of
information to the patient.
•Changes in knowledge level may be necessary before we can
change behaviors or health status
BUT
• The transfer of knowledge that takes place with patient
teaching alone does not ensure behavioral change.
7. Factors influencing behavioural change
•Willingness to make a change
•Believe that a behavioural change will have a beneficial effect
•Believe that you have the ability to execute the change
8. Theory Underpinning Patient Education
•Self Efficacy Theory (Bandura, 1986)
•Stress and coping theory (Lazarus and Folkman, 1984)
•Health belief model (Becker, 1974)
•Health promotion model (Becker, 1974)
•Learned Helplessness (Seligman, 1975)
9. Health Belief Model
Developed by Rosenstock to explain individual decisions for health
screening opportunities, the three primary points of this model are:
1. The individual’s perception of his/her susceptibility to and the
severity of the disease are the primary motivators to learn and
change behavior.
2. A belief must exist that the illness can be avoided and that taking
action can reduce the risk.
3. The individual must also believe that he/she is capable of
making the necessary changes.
10. Health Promotion Model
Developed by Pender, this model depicts a complex process associated
with behavioral change for health promotion.
Focus is on optimizing wellness versus avoiding disease.
Patient motivation is influenced by social support and competing
priorities.
Patient perceptions of benefit and the ability to succeed affect
outcomes.
11. Importance of patient education
•Patient education is one of the vital and most important component
of the nursing intervention in any health care setting.
•It is critically important because the leading causes of death in
modern world (i.e, heart &lung disease, cancer, stroke, injuries) are
closely associated with unhealthy lifestyles.
•There is strong evidence that counseling and providing complete
and current information creates an atmosphere of trust, enhances
the nurse-patient relationship and empowers patients to participate
in their own health care.
12. Contd…
• This results in better health, fewer complications, fewer rate of
hospitalization or visit to health care providers/ hospitals/ emergency
department.
• Effective patient education also ensures that patients have sufficient
information and understanding to make informed decisions regarding
their care, become healthier and more independent.
13. Benefits of patient education
• Patient education enables patients to assume better responsibility for
their own health care
• Provides opportunities to choose healthier lifestyles and practice
preventive medicine
• Patient education attracts patients to the provider and increases
patients’ satisfaction with their care, better patient – provider
relationship and at the same time decreasing the provider’s risk of
liability
14. Contd…
•Patient education promotes patient- centered care and as a
result, patients’ active involvement in their plan of care.
•Patient education increases adherence to medication and
treatment regimens, leading to a more efficient and cost-
effective health care delivery system.
•It ensures continuity of care and reduces the complications
related to illness and incidence of disorder/disease.
15. Contd…
•Patient education maximizes the individual’s independence
•Results in increased Patient Satisfaction - faster recovery time,
less visits to the provider
• Results in increased Patient Safety -Less injuries due to patient
lack of knowledge, medication errors, compliance with treatment
16. Purposes of Patient Teaching
To help patients and families to develop the self-care abilities
(knowledge, attitude, skills) required to maximize their functioning
and quality of life (or to have a dignified death). For eg, a patient
newly diagnosed with diabetes must acquire knowledge about
diabetes as a disease and its management & self care (knowledge),
value own health to make certain lifestyle modifications (attitude)
and master certain skills, such as self administration of insulin.
17. Contd…
•To help the patients to achieve health goals.
•To provide the knowledge that the patient needs to make
informed health care decisions and to implement a care plan.
•To encourage the patient to participate actively in self-care and
to facilitate their coping with their circumstances.
18. Goals of Patient Teaching
Three important goals of patient education are directed toward
promotion, maintenance, and restoration of health and
adaptation to the residual effects of illness.
1. To promote health and prevent illness
2. To restore the patient’s health,
3. To facilitate coping with their condition.
19. To promote health and prevent illness
Promoting health and preventing illness is a major theme in health
teaching and counseling. Nurses can help patients value health and to
develop specific health practices that promote wellness. Health
teaching related to health promotion is varied, It may takes many
forms. Eg.
• Counselling women of childbearing age about health practices that
promote optimal fetal development
20. Contd…
•Teaching parents how to make their home safe for a toddler
•Counselling people at high risk for diabetes for dietary
modifications and exercises
•Explain benefits of preventive health screening to adults.
•Demonstrating passive exercises to a patient with left-sided
paralysis
•Designing a safe exercise program for a young athlete
•To teaching cooking for good nutrition food to a group of
mothers of preschool children
21. To restore the patient’s health
Here the focus is teaching and counseling a sick person to develop
self-care practices that promote recovery. Eg.-
•Teaching about anatomy and physiology of organ, disease
process, cause, significance of signs and symptoms, management
and prognosis.
•Pre and postoperative teaching
•Counseling for limitation in physical activities for a patient
recovering from a myocardial infarction
•Lifestyle counseling for a patient with an colostomy
22. To facilitate coping
•Adjusting with developmental changes, lifestyle changes, and
acute, chronic, and terminal illness all place demands on patients
and families, that may become overwhelming.
•Secondly, not all patients fully recover from their illness or injury.
Many patients will need to learn to cope with permanent health
alterations caused by illness or its treatment.
)
24. Contd…
Nurses help not only the patients but also with their families and
friends to adjust with changes in health status and required lifestyle
modifications. They take measures that maximize independence and
enhance self concept.
It includes
• Stress management
• Environmental alterations
• Community resources
• Appropriate referrals(physio & occupational therapy, selfhelp groups, counselor)
• Grief and bereavement counseling
25. Goals of patient education
Adapt to illness/disability: Patient education helps chronic people to
develop ways of coping with their impairments and live life to the
maximum potential.
Cooperate with the prescribed therapy: Patient education will assist patients
who needs dialysis to learn ways to be cooperative and still maintain their
sense of self
Learn to solve problems when confronted with new situations: Patient
education teaches patients the skill of problem solving so that they can
figure out solutions when they are alone and at home. e.g: takes sweet if
they feel symptoms of hypoglycemia
Prevent hospitalization or re-hospitalization: The ultimate goal of patient
education is to help the patient to be as fully functioning a person as
possible in his/her home and community and it reduce re-hospitalized.
26. Types
•Patient Teaching can be planned/ incidental.
•Incidental teaching can be performed on the spot or when it is
required. Every encounter with the patient is an opportunity to
teach.
•Planned teaching- Teaching can be more fruitful if it is planned
properly after the assessment of clients needs, his educational,
cultural and socioeconomic background, his perception about
health , illness, disease condition etc.
27. Domains of patient teaching
Learning domains refer to the type of learning in which a
learner will be engaged. The three domains are:
•Cognitive: increasing knowledge
•Psychomotor: developing or improving a skill
•Affective: changing or influencing attitudes
28. Application of Learning Domains
Select one everyday living topic from the box below, and discuss
how you would teach a class incorporating each of the three
domains — cognitive, psychomotor, and affective.
• Dog grooming
• Baking a cake
• Carpet cleaning
• Rotating tires
• Mixing cement
• Web page design
• Sewing a shirt
• Fertilizing a lawn
• Stripping and staining furniture
• Painting a room
29. Application of learning domains
Select one health-related topic from the box below, and discuss how
you would teach a class incorporating each of the three domains—
cognitive, psychomotor, and affective.
• Reducing intake of sugary soda
• Having a mammogram to screen
for breast cancer
• Increasing intake of fruits and
vegetables
• Protecting skin from sun
exposure
• Getting adequate sleep
• Reducing plaque on teeth
through brushing and flossing
30. Prerequisites(Preliminary assessment) of Patient Education
Nurse must assess clients needs, his educational, cultural and socioeconomic
background, perception about health, illness, disease condition etc.
The nurse must always assess the patient to see what type of environment will be
most beneficial for them and factors that may interfere.
Another component to consider about environment is appropriate lighting &
temperature.
Comfort
Along with comfort, it is important to always asses the patient for any pain before
proceeding. Pain would interfere with patient’s necessary level of strength in order
to perform learned skills and distract them from the learning material.
31. Contd…
Also she should be well-rested in order to stay alert and fully
engaged in discussions for maximum learning.
The patient should always be assessed for coordination and sensory
acuity as well in order for them to perform certain motor skills and
receive and respond to messages being taught.
Lastly, the nurse must take into consideration their condition and
how it may interfere with the learning process
32. Process of Patient Teaching/Education
The process of patient teaching refers to the steps follow to provide teaching
and to measure learning. The steps involved in the teaching-learning process
are:
• Assessing learning needs and learning readiness
• Diagnosing learning needs
• Developing learning objectives / outcomes
• Develop a teaching plan
• Implementing patient teaching plan or strategies
• Evaluating patient learning
33. Assessing and diagnosing the Learning
needs
Learning needs between patients and for same patient also
according to his health status, time during his stay in the hospital
and even after the follow up visits.
e.g.
• On admission the patient teaching would include the ?????
• Before starting of the treatment patient would want to know???
• Before the surgery or during any special treatment or
investigation patient must understand it…….
34. Developing learning objectives
What you want to achieve at the end of the teaching should
reflect in the learning objectives of the patient...
• Objectives should be achievable and measurable...
• Mention clearly what is expected form the patient in relation
to his attitude, lifestyle, understanding etc.
35. Planning patient teaching
• Always be ready for patient teaching.
• It can be more fruitful if it is well planned and organized.
• Planning is done according to the need of the patient.
• Environment, time of the patient teaching, patients health
status has be taken into consideration.
• Good to take an appointment with the patient and fix the
time of the patient teaching, and also tell the approximate
time you are going to require.
36. Implementing patient teaching
Use of charts, flash cards, posters can be useful.
Introduce the topic and also don't forget to tell the patient and
the family that they may stop you anytime during the patient
teaching to clear their doubt.
Before ending the patient teaching confirm that client
understood the topic and also whether the objectives of the
patient teaching are achieved.
37. Evaluating the patient teaching
Evaluate the patient teaching according to the objectives
met/unmet/needs more time to achieve eg changing the attitude of the
patient.
Take feed back from the patient, family members, and others who
were attending the patient teaching.
Document the patient teaching, along with the topic, time, patients
response and number of participants who attended the patient
teaching. It will avoid repetition for the patient & health care
professional. It is safe for the nurse because client may admit some
time that he was unaware about the facts that created harmful
situation for him or others(Oxygenation –safety precautions)
38. Role of Nurse in Patient Teaching
•When focusing on patients learning needs, before begin the
teaching process, must ask a number of questions and perform
specific assessments.
•This is important to determine her readiness and ability to learn.
•The very first thing that must ask is if patient is willing or able to
accept the reality of her illness.
•So the next step need to do is introduce a teaching plan.
•In order to provide an effective teaching plan you must consider
the developmental and physical factors of patient.
39. Contd…
•For eg nurse assess patient before planning to use flash cards
that patient is able to read and write.
Another consideration need to take is patient’s age.
For example for an elderly patient, the best teaching approach
would be in short sessions and making sure he is involved in
discussions.
According to LeCroy (2009), “To decrease frustration in the
learning process, information should be given in an easy-to-
understand format since the learner’s attention can wane after
only 10 minutes”.
40. Contd…
Next you have to consider their physical capability
Finally after all these components are evaluated and you have taught
your patient the material needed, you must evaluate what they have
learned.
As stated by Hohler (2004), “To assess what your patient has
learned and determine whether he needs more teaching, ask open-
ended questions or have him explain what he’s learned”.
Then you can evaluate what the patient absorbed and what needs
more work.
41. Learning readiness- Physical, emotional, motivational
1. Assist the patient in physical readiness to learn
• Try to alleviate physical distress pain, discomfort that may distract the patient's attention and prevent effective learning.Also, ensure the physical
environment is as free of distractions as possible to help promote learning. Involve family members, spouse, or friend if requested by the patient
• Assess and promote the patient's emotional readiness to learn . In some patient’s with life threatening conditions, emotional readiness will only
occur after the patient has progress through some of the stages of grief – Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. When educating
your patient, be careful not to overwhelm the patient with volumes of information, but be concise, accurate, and relevant. Be aware of your patient’s
emotions.
2. Motivation to learn: it depends on many factors, including the
• Acceptance of the illness or that illness is a threat to the patient’s health
• Recognition/ acknowledgement of the need to learn
• Values related to social and cultural background
• Therapeutic regimen compatible with the patient's lifestyle
42. To facilitate motivational readiness
• Promote an atmosphere that is warm, non- judgmental, accepting, and open to
cultural practices
• Assess the Patient’s Values - To have a better outcome, educate yourself and be
culturally sensitive to your patient. Some cultures practice alternative forms of
medicine, and your patient may want to incorporate those practices into their
plan of care.
• When developing a teaching plan, address your patient‘s current social and
lifestyle. Educate about unhealthy practices, and reinforce or encourage healthy
practices.
• Encourage the patient to participate in the establishment of acceptable, realistic,
and attainable learning goals
• Provide constructive feedback about progress
43. 4. Assess and promote the patient's experiential readiness to learn.
• Determine the following:
• what experiences the patient has had with health and illness
• what success or failure the patient has had with learning
• what basic knowledge the patient has on related topics
• Provide the patient with prerequisite knowledge necessary to begin the learning
process
44. TEACHING STRATEGIES
• Patient education can occur at any time and in any setting.
Consider the following:
• How conducive the environment is to learning?
• How much time you are able to schedule?
• What other family members can attend the teaching session?
• Use a variety of techniques that are appropriate to meet the needs of each individual
• A teaching plan can be well- written, however, it is ineffective if the patient and/or the patient’s family does not understand it. Even some of
the smartest people have trouble understanding medical processes. Keep it simple. Put terms in everyday language – for example, use “pill”
instead of medication, “cream” instead of ointment, and “use” instead of utilize. Check for accuracy, i.e., such as resources have correct
telephone numbers and addresses.
45. • Lecture or Explanation • Should include discussion or a question-and-answer session
• Group Discussion • Effective for individuals with similar needs • Participants
commonly gain support, assistance, and encouragement from other members
• Demonstration and Practice • Should be used when skills need to be learned • Ample
time should be allowed for practice and return demonstration
46. • Teaching aids
Books, pamphlets, pictures, slides, videos, tapes, and models
Should serve as supplements to verbal teaching
Can be obtained from government agencies, nonprofit groups, various internet health
web sites, pharmaceutical and insurance companies
47. • Reinforcement and follow-up sessions
Offer time for evaluation and additional teaching, if necessary • Can greatly increase the effectiveness of teaching
• Documentation
Document patient teaching:
• What was taught?
• How the patient responded?
• Use standardized patient teaching checklists if available
A key component to determine if patient teaching is effective is to have the patient explain the information you gave them back to you in their own words. Another component to determine the
effectiveness of patient teaching is the number of readmissions due to patient misunderstanding of medications and treatment.
Editor's Notes
Patient education is a process of assisting people to learn health-related behaviors so that they can incorporate these behaviors into everyday life.
