“…All but one studies were published in English [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], and most of them assessed a broader population than only patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery [25-31, 33, 37-39]. Six of 15 studies were carried out in Europe [32,[34][35][36], five [26][27][28][29]31] in the USA, three [37][38][39] in Asia, and one [30] in Africa.

“…Only four [17,32,[34][35][36] of the 15 studies included patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery exclusively. Three [34][35][36] of these four studies were conducted in the UK and one [32] in Germany. Three [34][35][36] were observational studies, and one [32] had a quasi-experimental design.…”

Background International guidelines promote preoperative education for patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. However, the evidence sustaining these recommendations comes mainly from studies for hip and knee replacement surgery. Little is known about patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery. We aimed to map and characterize all the available evidence on preoperative education for patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery. Methods This study complies with the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. We searched eight databases, including MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL. We performed cross-citations and revised the references of included studies. We included studies addressing preoperative education in patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery. We did not exclude studies because of the way of delivering education, the agent that provided it, or the content of the preoperative education addressed in the study. Two independent authors screened the articles and extracted the data. The aggregated data are presented in descriptive tables. Results Of 1596 retrieved records, only 15 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Four addressed preoperative education on patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery and the remaining 11 addressed a broader population, including patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery but did not provide separate data of them. Two studies reported that preoperative education decreases the length of stay of these patients, another reported that education increased the knowledge of the participants, and the other leaflets were well received by patients. Conclusion This scoping review demonstrates that evidence on preoperative education in foot and ankle surgery is scarce. The available evidence supports the implementation of preoperative education in patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery for now. The best method of education and the real impact of this education remain to be determined.

“… 100 One study from the United Kingdom found that the use of preoperative patient information packets on procedure details, recovery timeline, risks, and potential complications of surgery was well received by patients. 91 Another study from Germany evaluated the effect of a 2½-hour preoperative multidisciplinary training course that included education on the procedure, perioperative expectations, and postoperative protocols followed by an opportunity to practice ambulating with assistive devices. 80 Following intervention, they reported significant improvement in patient knowledge and satisfaction, but no effect on preoperative anxiety.…”

“…Having access to health information can assist an individual to become more knowledgeable about their health needs and better able to exercise informed choices about their healthcare [1,2]. However, whilst access to printed and online health education has proliferated, many health consumers experience reduced ability to engage with the information acquired [1].…”

Eye Tracking-based Evaluation of User Engagement with Standard and Personalised Digital Education for Diabetic Patients

Health education is a fundamental process in strategies to inform and involve patients with effective health management. Nevertheless, challenges exist in motivating patients to engage with health information. This paper describes a study which evaluated user engagement with generic and tailored digital formats of interactive health education for diabetic patients. We recruited 18 participants, nine of whom viewed a diabetic education booklet, and the remaining subjects viewed electronic personalised education. Eye tracking was used to measure visual engagement with the artefacts, and the users provided feedback regarding the aesthetics and usability of the education. The findings indicated that for both artefacts the participants attended predominantly to the text content. Moreover, for the personalised education, it was found that images that had been personalised in accordance with user characteristics received a greater amount of attention than non-tailored images.
