|November 8, 2023
Summary
Videoconference (VC) group education for patients and caregivers is feasible and acceptable, potentially improving health outcomes. More high-quality trials are needed to confirm effectiveness across diverse groups.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Digital Health
- Patient Education
Background:
- Videoconferencing (VC) offers a scalable platform for group-based patient and caregiver education.
- Assessing the current evidence on VC interventions is crucial for optimizing healthcare delivery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review recent evidence on the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of group-based patient and caregiver education delivered via videoconference (VC).
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature searches were conducted to identify relevant studies.
- Data extraction focused on study characteristics, intervention details, feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness outcomes.
Main Results:
- 65 studies confirmed high feasibility and acceptability of VC group education, with indications of improved health outcomes.
- Evidence for effectiveness is limited, study quality is variable, and certain patient groups remain under-researched.
- Training for facilitators in VC technology was reported in only four studies.
Conclusions:
- Videoconference (VC) group education is feasible and acceptable, with potential benefits for patient and caregiver health outcomes.
- Future research should prioritize high-quality randomized controlled trials to establish effectiveness for various patient populations.
- Further investigation into facilitator training for VC technology is warranted to ensure optimal intervention delivery.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

1.2K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers,...

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...
