“…Hence, developing this intervention even further may be difficult. Nowadays, however, the development of devices has been remarkable and intervention studies using multimedia are becoming increasingly common (Wilson et al, 2012). As the information and communication technology environment progresses, further development of the use of electronic media in health care interventions is predicted and the present study is believed to provide information relating to such interventions.…”

“…Although several systematic reviews compare CBLSs with standard education [1,[29][30][31][32][33], these reviews include studies dating from 1983 [30]. The quality of modern-day CBLSs is unrivaled by that of three decades ago.…”

Introduction: Patient education is fundamental to high-quality care, enabling patient empowerment and improving outcomes and quality of life. Therefore, identifying the most effective education method should take precedence. Modern society relies heavily on technology and the Internet. Consequently, computer-based learning systems (CBLSs) have been introduced to increase information efficacy. This review aims to establish whether CBLSs should replace standard education for cancer populations.Methods: A systematic review of up-to-date studies comparing CBLSs and standard education for cancer patients was conducted. Results were assessed in terms of outcomes (knowledge, satisfaction, and decision making) and patient characteristics (age, sex, and socioeconomic status).Results: Results are conflicting. Although CBLSs scored highly in certain outcomes, standard education was more suited to some patient characteristics. Additionally, subgroups of society (older and low socioeconomic populations) were poorly represented in studies.Conclusions: Up-to-date research on cancer patient education is lacking. Results indicate that although CBLSs for cancer education show promise, further research is required. R ESUM E Introduction : L' education du patient est un aspect fondamental de la qualit e des soins, en permettant la responsabilisation du patient et l'am elioration des r esultats et de la qualit e de vie. La d etermination de la m ethode d' education la plus efficace est donc primordiale. Comme la soci et e moderne s'appuie fortement sur la technologie et internet, les syst emes d'apprentissage assist e par ordinateur (SAAO) ont et e mis en place pour augmenter l'efficacit e de l'information. Cette revue vise a d eterminer si les SAAO devraient remplacer les modalit es standard d' education pour les patients atteints de cancer. M ethodologie : Une revue syst ematique des etudes a jour comparant les SAAO et les modalit es standard pour les patients a et e r ealis ee. Les r esultats ont et e evalu es en termes de produits (connaissances, satisfaction, prise de d ecision) et de caract eristiques du patient (âge, sexe, statut socio economique).R esultats : Les r esultats sont ambigus. Bien que les SAAO obtiennent une note elev ee pour certains produits, les modalit es d' education standard sont mieux adapt ees a certaines caract eristiques des patients. Par ailleurs, certains sous-groupes sociaux (populations plusâg ees et de niveau socio economique plus faible) etaient sous-repr esent es dans les etudes.Conclusions : Il y a un manque de recherches a jour sur l' education des patients atteints de cancer. Les r esultats indiquent que d'autres recherches sont n ecessaires, même si les syst emes d'apprentissage assist e par ordinateur semblent prometteurs.

“…Review of the literature revealed that ACOG printed patient education materials have been assessed and found to be written at a higher reading level than believed to be acceptable when writing to a general audience [13,14]. Various patient educational modalities have been evaluated, and a recent systematic review assessing the efficacy of printed versus multimedia educational material found that the two modalities are equivalent [15]. However, to date, no other study has evaluated the ACOG printed patient education material for health literacy and comprehension in low-income minority populations in the United States as our study does.…”

Objective: To determine whether the ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) Patient Education pamphlet -Understanding Abnormal Pap Test Results improves patient understanding of abnormal pap smears for an underserved population in a university-based Gynecology clinic. Methods:We randomized 50 patients presenting to our university-based Gynecology clinic to receive a survey packet containing either the ACOG abnormal pap smear or the ACOG healthy living pamphlet. Patients were given a five question survey before and after reviewing the pamphlet to assess their knowledge regarding Pap smear testing. Understanding of ACOG abnormal Pap smear pamphlet was measured by comparing pre-test and post-test scores.Results: Fifty patients were recruited and 47 surveys completed. There were no demographic differences between the control and experimental groups. The mean baseline pre-test scores were similar among the two groups (89.09% vs. 84.80%). A 10.4% increase in the baseline score was noted on the post-test of the group receiving the abnormal Pap smear pamphlet [p=0.0002], compared to a 1.82% decrease in the post-test of the control group [p=0.5043]. Conclusions:Patients who were exposed to the ACOG abnormal pap smear pamphlet demonstrated superior knowledge about abnormal pap smears when compared to patients in the control group.
