Objective:
To determine in what ways, if any, do patients, caregivers, and nurses make videos relevant during in-person education.
Methods:
We applied conversation analysis to analyze interaction in 12 nurse-led education visits (1011 min of audio) in which speakers referred to a supplemental education video.
Results:
Patients initiated talk about the video in about half of the clinic visits analyzed, while nurses initiated talk about the video across all clinic visits analyzed. Interactions showed that patients demonstrated knowledge of video content and clarified information concerning their treatment plans by asking questions of nurses. Nurses referenced the video prior to repeating information that they recognized patients had viewed. In all instances analyzed, nurses made references to the videos in ways that re-oriented conversations back toward the content of the informal scripts that they used to deliver patient education.
Conclusion:
Patients referenced the video in ways that demonstrated that they had viewed it and had gained knowledge concerning treatment plans, and to ask specific questions about these. Nurses referred to the videos by acknowledging patients' prior knowledge of upcoming information.
Practice Implications:
Understanding how pre-delivered supplemental videos impact patient involvement in in-person education contributes understanding to how video-based instruction supports patient-centered care.
