Disease knowledge after an educational program in patients with GERD – a randomized controlled trial

Abstract: Background: Patient education has proved beneficial in several but not all chronic disease. Inconsistent findings may rely on varying educational effects of various programs and differential effects on subgroups of patients. Patients' increase in disease knowledge may serve as a feedback to the educator on how well the education program works -but may not be associated to relevant clinical outcomes like quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to investigate the effects of a group based education program for pa… Show more

“…These findings are lower than those of Urnes et al, 16 who reported a mean GERD knowledge score of 13.1 at 2 months and 14.0 at 12 months in patients allocated to a control group (range, 0-24). These findings may suggest that degree of GERD knowledge in Korea is lower than that of Western countries.…”

“…Improved quality of life was only seen in patients with education limited to primary school, suggesting that better educated patients are more knowledgeable about GORD and may manage their symptoms more effectively. 24 Symptom severity or impact of knowledge on disease management were not measured, so it is not known whether that intervention improved the patients' perception and experience of their illness. Contrary to other patient education programme guidance, that study did not appear to include the key components that are known to support patient self-management of illness.…”
