“…Conflicting data exist with regard to the efficacy of sun protection education in OTRs. While our data suggest that patients prefer to receive information verbally and through educational pamphlets, Trinh et al showed that video education is more effective than pamphlets at increasing patient knowledge. In contrast, a study by Loescher et al found both educational videos and informational brochures to be effective.…”

Background: Long-term use of immunosuppressive medications by organ transplant recipients (OTRs) leads to an increased risk of non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs).The objective of this study was to assess photoprotective knowledge and practices among OTRs and to identify predictors of poor sunscreen adherence and barriers to photoprotection. Methods:A written survey was administered to 300 solid OTRs attending the Southern Alberta Transplant Program. Demographics, transplant and NMSC history, ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure, photoprotective knowledge and practices, and barriers to implementing photoprotection were collected. Relevant statistical analyses and univariate and multivariable regression models on sunscreen use were performed. Results:One hundred and seventy-nine of the 300 respondents reported not using sunscreen most days despite 79.3% recalling have received photoprotection education. Of the surveyed OTRs, 45.7% reported no barriers to implementing photoprotective practices. On average, respondents scored 74.5% on a commonly used tool to assess photoprotective knowledge (SD 30.6%). In multivariable analyses, older age, male gender, and lack of post-secondary education were associated with lower rates of self-reported sunscreen use. The most commonly patient-reported barriers to photoprotection were "hassle/time consuming" (16.7%) and "sunscreen is uncomfortable or unpleasant" (10.0%).Conclusions: Despite OTRs self-reporting having received sufficient sun-protective knowledge and demonstrating reasonable recollection of photoprotective education on assessment, implementation of sun protection in the studied OTRs remains suboptimal.

“…Significant knowledge gains were observed among the participants from the pretest to posttest ( P < 0.05; data not shown). This is consistent with numerous studies conducted in the health industry where videos were used to improve the viewer's knowledge on a health‐related subject (Brace and others ; Del Carmen Cabesa and others ; Trinh and others ). The entirety of knowledge gains cannot be attributed to the videos, but the videos likely contributed to knowledge gains to some extent.…”

There is opportunity to decrease the frequency of foodborne illnesses by improving food safety competencies and planned behaviors of college students before they begin careers in the food industry. The objectives of this study were to (1) develop a multimedia case study teaching method that provides real world context for food science education; and (2) evaluate the extent to which it improves the intentions of students to implement food safety management systems upon entering the workforce, as well its impact on knowledge gains and students' abilities to understand complex concepts. The target audience consisted of all participants in an upper-level undergraduate food safety management systems course (n = 17). A pretest and posttest survey research instrument was developed to measure knowledge gains and also students' food safety intentions using the framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior. Students experienced significant gains in knowledge, attitude, and intention after completion of the course (P < 0.05). One hundred percent of students agreed that the interactive videos aided in their understanding of food safety concepts. A paired t test suggested that both behavioral control beliefs and attitudes of students toward food safety management significantly increased (P < 0.5) after completion of the case study. These results suggest that integrating multimedia case studies into food science education may enhance food safety behaviors.

“…Adoption of these educational initiatives can be simplified by the current ubiquity of electronic resources and audiovisual communication. Indeed, this has been the inspiration behind turning to video education as an effective modality for the presentation of concise, easily understandable patient information to fill the gap between currently delivered and understood health information ( Trinh et al, 2014 ).…”

ObjectiveAlthough dermatologists strive to provide patient education on sun protection and skin cancer, approximately 90% of Americans have limited health literacy skills. Little has been written about the means to best teach all levels of learners to recognize common benign and malignant skin lesions. Earlier work found that with advancing age, adults were less able to identify concerning lesions, thus underscoring the need for accessible education.MethodsWe showed subjects a brief video (7th grade level) about common cutaneous growths, reducing the risk of skin cancer, and the importance of early detection. Subjects were asked about their skin cancer history, educational format preference, and the perceived impact of the video. Comprehension of symptoms of skin cancer and the benefits of sunscreen use and the ability to identify a melanoma, nevus, angioma, and seborrheic keratosis were also assessed.ResultsOf the 156 subjects, mean age 52.7 years (range, 18-88 years), 31% had a history of skin cancer. A total of 98.7% found the video to be helpful; 92% preferred having a video as part of their teaching versus 9% who preferred written materials alone, 99% knew that a new or changing lesion could signal skin cancer, and 100% correctly answered that wearing sunscreen is protective. Subjects correctly identified lesions as melanoma (99%), benign mole (97%), angiomas (96%), and seborrheic keratosis (91%). There was a nominal trend toward higher scores in people who preferred video learning, had no history of skin cancer, and were older than 60 years of age.ConclusionIn this study, we found that a brief, plain-language video was effective at conveying understandable content to help subjects learn to identify common cancerous and benign skin growths while also teaching them strategies to protect against skin cancer.

Abstract: These findings suggest an inherent appeal for audio-visual presentation and point its potential to improve patients' knowledge of their increased risk of skin cancer and preventive skin cancer measures.
