Teaching patients is an important aspect of health care. Whetherteaching a new mom how to bathe a newborn baby or instructing anadult who is living with a chronic heart disease, a successfuloutcome depends on the quality of the nurse’s instruction andsupport. Consider these five strategies.
- Take advantage of technology. Technology hasmade patient education materials more accessible. Educationalresources can be customized and printed out for patients with thetouch of a button. Make sure the patient’s individualized needs areaddressed. Don’t simply hand the patient a stack of papers to read.Review them with patients to ensure they understand theinstructions. Answer questions that arise. Some resources areavailable in several languages.
- Determine the patient’s learning style.Similar information may be provided by a range of techniques. Infact, providing education using different modalities reinforcesteaching. Patients have different learning styles. Find out if yourpatient learns best by watching a DVD or by reading. A hands onapproach where the patient gets to perform a procedure with yourguidance is often the best method.
- Stimulate the patient’s interest. It’sessential that patients understand why this is important. Establishrapport, ask and answer questions, and consider specific patientconcerns. For example, some patients may want detailed informationabout every aspect of their health condition. Others may want justthe facts, and do better with a simple checklist.
- Consider the patient’s limitations andstrengths. Does the patient have physical, mental, oremotional impairments that impact the ability to learn? Forexample, they may need large print materials. If the patient ishearing impaired, use visual materials and hands on methods insteadof simply providing verbal instruction. Always have patientsexplain what you taught them. Often people will nod “yes” or saythat they comprehend what is taught even if they have not reallyheard or understood. Consider factors such as fatigue and the shockof learning a critical diagnosis when educating patients.
- Include family members. Involving familymembers in patient teaching improves the chances that yourinstructions will be followed. In many cases, you will be providingmost of the instruction to family members. Families play a criticalrole in health care management.
Teaching patients and their families can be one of the mostchallenging, yet also rewarding elements of providing health care.First-rate instruction improves patient outcomes dramatically.
