Studying in any health-care establishments is challenging compared to other kinds of academic environments because it is hard to make a patient understand. The disease or sickness that is afflicting them will tend to overshadow the patient education medical experts are offering to them. The sick person also takes time to take in what the practitioners are telling them because of the pain they are feeling.
Health professionals should know what the sick person needs to understand. They should make assessment of the need for these studies and procedures with patients and their close relatives or groups. For this to be efficient, medical practitioners must use methods that patients understand and increases their conformity.
Well- designed learning procedures and setting up of clear objectives ensures that effective studying is obtained. The use of various techniques can enhance studying hence accomplishing effective outcomes. Some of them include creating positive atmospheres, dividing details over a period, developing previously discussed details from each session, clear and simple communication, use of multiple teaching methods and explaining different misinterpretations.
These same techniques however, if misused or unused will make these studies useless. Educating sick people must therefore be efficient. This requires planning and implementation of the set objectives and goals to ensure efficient studying. Challenges to efficient studies include decreased lengths of hospital stay, patient overload and researching about diseases on the internet by patients which leads to getting inaccurate information.
While many medical staff members acknowledge the success of sick people studying, they do not have efficient teaching abilities. Not all of them have strong commitments towards teaching. For patient studying to be efficient, studying limitations, teaching sources and different perceptions of sick people about diseases must be taken into consideration.
Ask patients about what makes them to understand better. This saves a lot of time because some are visual students, others tactile students and there are those with combinations of these styles. Where you have different kinds of students, then the use of multi-sensory teaching methods are inevitable because they are very efficient.
Sick people are in great position to make decisions about the kind of treatment they want when they have taught about what their sickness. Apart from patients learning about diseases and ways of caring for themselves, these lessons also address hygienic environments. These patients will also pass the message across to their families and friends.
Use role-play techniques to put a certain message across. Explain and demonstrate what you want the other person to do or understand. This is crucial with self-care like insulin administration and wound good care. Encourage them to ask questions because feedback is essential in evaluating the information they have with them. Give accurate details and try not to instill fear in them. Instead encourage them by your words and actions as this will promote trust especially if they are finding it difficult to process information about their sickness.
