Patient Teaching Flashcards
The ANA standards of practice specifies three specific measurement criteria for teaching…
- provides health teaching that addresses such topics as healthy lifestyles, risk-reducing behaviors, developmental needs, activities of daily living and preventative self-care.
- Uses health promotion and health teaching methods appropriate to the patient’s developmental level, learning needs, readiness, ability to learn, language preference, and culture.
- Seeks opportunities for feedback and evaluation of the learning.
Learning is…
a change in behavior, knowledge, skills, or attitudes that occurs as a result of exposure to environmental stimuli
Teaching is…
an interactive process that involves planning and implementing instructional activities to meet intended learner outcomes or providing activities that allow the learner to learn
Learning occurs in these three domains (Bloom’s domains)…
psychomotor
cognitive
affective
What are the 5 rights of teaching?
Right Time Right Context Right Goal Right Content Right Method
What is cognitive learning?
includes storing and recalling information in the brain. The “thinking” domain.
Strategies and tools: lecture reading materials panel discussion audiovisual materials programmed instruction computer-assisted instruction problem based learning (case studies)
What is psychomotor learning?
involves learning a skill that requires both mental and physical activity. The “skills” domain
Strategies and tools:
demonstration
audiovisual methods
printed materials (esp. pictures)
What is affective learning?
includes changes in feelings, beliefs, attitudes and values. The “feeling” domain
Strategies and tools: role modeling panel discussion one-to-one counseling and discussion audiovisual materials printed materials
Factors that can affect learning are…
Motivation Readiness Timing Active Involvement Repetition Environment Scheduling the session/ Interruptions Amount and Complexity of Information Communication Development stage Special populations - special needs Cultural factors Literacy
Barriers to teaching are…
Lack of time preparation space and privacy priority level of teaching reimbursement or lack of frustration lack of coordination
Barriers to learning are…
stress physical condition anxiety low literacy negative environmental influence time overwhelming behavior change needed lack of support lack of willingness complexity of healthcare system
What are the advantages and limitations of lectures?
Advantages:
Efficient and cost-effective
Good for large groups
Limitations:
Cannot individualize content
Not effective for psychomotor or affective domains
Does not promote retentionWhat are the advantages and limitations of group discussion?
Advantages:
learner-centered
effective for affective and cognitive domains
Limitations:
Less structure
Less effective for psychomotor domain
What are the advantages and limitations of demonstration and return demonstration?
Advantages:
Most effective for psychomotor skills (equipment, self-
injections etc)
Can be used in small groups
Limitations:
Not effective in large groups
Time-consuming and labor intensiveWhat are the advantages and limitations of one-to-one instruction?
Advantages:
Gives opportunity to develop a relationship with the
learner
Convey interest in learning needs
Tailoring of teaching
Allows for frequent questions and feedback
Useful in all three domains
Limitations:
Labor-intensive
Reaches fewest learners
Overwhelming information
Least retention
Isolates learner from others
