Orchestrating the process of patient education. Methods and approaches
1School of Nursing, University of Texas, Arlington.
Abstract:
Patient education is a must, yet many obstacles prevent the achievement of this important goal. Nurses need to examine methods and approaches that have application in today's practice. These include the nurse's assessment of the patient as well as a self-inventory so a multifaceted plan can be implemented to provide information during each patient care contact point. Suggested methods, such as contracting and use of computers in the education process, are additional ways to involve patients actively so they can maximize their fullest potential in self-care.
