Application of Audio Education in Respiratory Medicine Wards

Abstract

Improving the efficiency of patient education can help improve patient’s satisfaction and alleviate the pressure of nurse shortage. This study aimed to develop and pilot an educational audio to improve the effectiveness of inpatient education. A primary literature review was conducted and educational materials were written and recorded by MP3. A pilot study was conducted in 713 adult patients in the department of respiratory medicine at a large urban Shanghai teaching hospital. Patients in the experimental group showed greater satisfaction with their health education. For the education to be effective during the admission, the asthma patients in the experimental group spent less time in face-to-face communication. The feedback rate for disease education among asthma patients in the experimental group was significantly higher. Wider applications of audio in patient education may be valuable to better adjust to nurse reduction and to improve nursing service quality.

Impact of an Auditory Mediated Patient Health Education (PHE) Program on Treatment Compliance and Satisfaction Among Patients Seeking Prosthodontic Care During COVID Pandemic – A Prospective Interventional Study

“…12 The results of our study regarding the educational method and audio material are in agreement with those of a study conducted on inpatients. 5 The rest of the parameters for patient satisfaction with health education were not significantly different, as in the present study. We introduced procedural education that is highly relevant to prosthodontics and includes detailed educational material to prepare patient for a particular clinical procedure (mandibular, tongue, or head movement).…”

“…The patients' health education included five different education categories from admission to discharge. The use of audio-mediated patient education has been limited to inpatients, 5 and has never been explored among outpatients or those receiving prosthodontic care. Structural differences between medical and dental care include a higher percentage (80%) of medical specialists delivering medical care, and higher categories of allied medical personnel in the medical field.…”

“…2) A 10-point questionnaire for knowledge feedback rate of efficiency of imparting disease education (≥ 50% effective, between 20 to 50% basically effective, ≤ 20% ineffective). 5 3) Denture hygiene index (DHI) objectively evaluated the effectiveness of the maintenance of tissue/denture hygiene. 9 4) Treatment satisfaction of patients was measured using a ten-point visual analog scale (VAS), which presents a list of random questions with reversed polarity.…”

“…Educational materials have been formatted in various ways to achieve patient compliance. 5 Patients tend to forget more than half of treatment-related information, which has led to some new patient strategies in the form of simulated games, interactive videos, and role-playing. 6 Characteristically, key prosthodontic outpatients are geriatric patients who develop weakened senses (eyes and hearing) and become senile with aging.…”

Educating Post-Partum Women: Interventions to Improve Engagement

“…The nurse's role is not only to engage patients in their education but also to verify completion, to check competency via teach-back or other means, and to document the process (Wolf et al, 2009). Delivering education via modalities such as MP3 files, videos or interactive television is a growing practice that relieves busy nurses of having to deliver, set up and operate viewing equipment (Adam et al, 2019;Patmon et al, 2016;Zhao et al, 2020).…”
