    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Osteoarthritis Management
    • Health Education

    Background:

    • Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent condition in geriatric populations.
    • Effective patient education is crucial for managing OA and improving quality of life.
    • Traditional educational methods may not always be optimal for older adults.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate an educational program for geriatric patients with osteoarthritis.
    • To assess the effectiveness of adult learner methods in this patient group.
    • To determine the cost-effectiveness of the developed educational program.

    Main Methods:

    • A slide/tape program with accompanying booklets was created, utilizing adult learner principles.
    • Sixty-seven geriatric patients with OA participated in the study.

  • Knowledge assessment was conducted before, immediately after, and three weeks post-intervention.

    • Main Results:

    • A statistically significant increase in knowledge was observed for five out of six learning objectives (P < .05).
    • All objectives showed some degree of knowledge improvement.
    • The educational program proved to be cost-effective due to minimal duplication costs.

    Conclusions:

    • Geriatric patients with osteoarthritis demonstrate a capacity to learn effectively through tailored educational programs.
    • The slide/tape format, incorporating adult learning strategies, is a viable and cost-effective educational approach for this demographic.
    • This intervention holds promise for improving OA self-management in older adults.
