P Agre, M Bookbinder, C Cirrincione

    Patient Education and Counseling
    |August 1, 1990
    PubMed
    Summary

    Nurses dedicate significant time to patient education, averaging 16.6 minutes per patient daily. This highlights the need for efficient teaching methods, like closed-circuit television, to manage nursing time effectively.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Healthcare Management
    • Patient Education

    Background:

    • Increasing patient longevity and shorter hospital stays necessitate efficient nursing education.
    • The current nursing shortage limits the time available for patient teaching.
    • Hospitals require creative, cost-effective strategies for quality patient education.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish a baseline for the amount of time nurses spend on patient and family teaching.
    • To quantify the cost associated with nurse-led patient education.
    • To identify potential alternative teaching methodologies.

    Main Methods:

    • A descriptive study was conducted over a seven-day period.
    • Data were collected on 121 inpatients across various units.

  • Patient and family teaching time was documented until discharge or transfer, totaling 825 hospitalization days.

    • Main Results:

    • The average daily teaching time per patient was 16.6 minutes.
    • This equates to 128 hours of daily teaching, costing approximately $2355 per day or $859,657 annually.
    • A significant portion of nurses' time is allocated to patient education.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses spend a substantial amount of time on patient teaching, with significant associated costs.
    • The findings provide a baseline for evaluating different teaching methodologies.
    • Closed-circuit television (CCTV) patient education is proposed as a potential method to reduce repetitive nurse teaching time.
