    Background:

    • Nurses often develop and evaluate printed education materials (PEMs) as patient educators.
    • A need exists for standardized methods to ensure the quality and effectiveness of PEMs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the Evaluating Printed Education Materials (EPEM) model.
    • To present the EPEM model as a guide and quality standard for developing and critiquing PEMs.

    Main Methods:

    • The article outlines the five phases of the EPEM model.
    • It integrates nursing, learning, and instructional design principles.
    • The model's application is illustrated with examples from orthopaedic patient care.
