    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Patient satisfaction with education was generally high.
  • Patients' expectations for information and participation in care were notably low.
  • Nursing staff demonstrated commitment and preparedness but primarily used information- or advice-giving methods, which were not always effective.
  • Documentation of patient education was inconsistent.

    • Conclusions:

    • Despite nurse commitment, patient education effectiveness is limited by low patient expectations and nurse-centric approaches.
    • There is a need to enhance patient engagement and diversify educational strategies.
    • Improving documentation practices for patient education is essential.
