1000+ documents containing “patient education”.
Informally, each time the nurse interacts with the patient they can provide information; formally, training on specific medications, or procedures; or explaining to the family situations about upcoming tests, operations, or expectations, can be most valuable. Formal educational opportunities may also present themselves in groups (seminars for heart or kidney patients for example) that allow specific sets of information to be disseminated to larger groups for efficiency, human or other resource purposes, and to allow patients to have a greater sense of a peer or support group for their specific need (Falvo).
Part 4- Identify appropriate educational resources. There are actually quite a number of additional educational resources available for patients:
Hospital staff and seminars; specialists, nurse or practitioner experts
Governmental agencies that sponsor seminars provide written information (e.g. Department of Health).
Private agencies that provide written information, sponsor seminars, and advocate education (e.g. American Heart Association, Lung Association, etc.).

Intradialytic Weight Gain Management for Dialysis Patients
The project seeks to improve intradialytic weight gain (IDWG) management in hemodialysis dependent patients by 10% through an education program in 12 weeks. The projects aim is to develop a nurse driven intradialytic weight gain (IDWG) management program that not only educates patients about their target weight (TW), but gives them a better understand of how their actions affect their overall health. This initiative strives to give patients a better understanding of IDWG, target weight and fluid management. The focus of this educational program is not to preach about what the patients should and should not eat or drink, but to educate them about what IDGW means to them as ESD patients. This may be as simple as giving the educational material in their personal language, such as English, Spanish, Chinese, or Vietnamese. The core team is centered on face-to-face personal time and education….
AbstractMost patients, especially after being examined with complex health conditions, have difficulty comprehending or recalling the information their healthcare providers gave them regarding their health. However, the use of teach-back methodology has proven to improve this scenario since it provides guidance that could help deliver health services most effectively. Besides, with diabetes mellitus being a major pandemic in most nations, this review aims to comprehend the information about teach-back methodology in the institutions offering healthcare services and implement strategic ways of proper insulin administration as one of the treatment plans for diabetes. Therefore, the research utilized a qualitative approach because it was the most convenient way of extracting information and assessing the methodological quality. Furthermore, the use of teach-back was found to be the most effective since it is not limited to the surrounding population and the outcomes of the measure. Also, its mode of delivery is easy to comprehend….
Staff and Patient Education Strategies: Evidence and Competency-Based Teaching
The objective of this work is to examine evidence and competency-based nursing, patient and staff education. One of the primary challenges that face nursing education knowing which standards, frameworks, or evidence to draw on when creating learning activities. The scenario in this study is a newly diagnosed Asian adult with diabetes. This work will answer as to what issues might be encountered with the treatment regimen and with any cultural or other barriers. The work of Fredericks, et al. (2009) entitled "Patient Demographics and Learning Needs; Examination of elationship" reports that there is a limited base of research that has conducted examination of differentials of patient learning needs in regards to demographic characteristics including age, gender, educational level and culture. However, this knowledge is critical in developing postoperative educational interventions that are personalized to the needs of patients. The study reported by….
STAYING CURRENT IN WORKPLACE Staying Current in the WorkplaceOne of the useful methods of writing is reverse writing. It helps in pointing out the main idea of the topic on which the paragraph is organized, especially for identifying gaps or repetition of the ideas. For instance, a paragraph on patient education tells about how educating patients about illness and medications and ways self-management could be boosted gives positive health outcomes. A reverse outline could effectively point out each paragraphs main idea to scrutinize deeply whether any idea is missed or repeated. This would help fill the vacant spaces where important information has not been added, and new knowledge could strengthen the writing piece instantly.One of my original examples of writing was:Patient education is a useful technique for impelling the patients behavior for alterations in beliefs, attitudes, and knowledge levels so that the newly gained information positively affects their health.

Patient Education Decrease Anxiety Undergoing Invasive Cardiac Procedures
Annotated Bibliography
In this case, one of the main areas of topic is based on the role played by initial patient education on the anxiety of patients undergoing noninvasive cardiovascular surgery. It has been reported that the initial education provided by the nurses to the patient in relation to the noninvasive cardiac surgery helps the patient, as there is a great reduction in stress and level of anxiety in relation to the surgical procedures and the outcomes.

Introduction
Patient-centered care is the goal of many healthcare organizations, but the ability of an organization to deliver patient-centered care is influenced by a number of factors both internal and external. Business practices, regulatory requirements, and reimbursement all can impact patient-centered care in any healthcare organization. Promoting patient-centered care requires an organizational culture committed to this paradigm, which also needs to be embedded in the mission and values of the organization.
Executives and administrators create the organizational culture that promotes patient-centered care. All leaders in the organization are responsible for using patient-centered practices and communications styles in their interactions with patients and their families. Furthermore, administrators oversee the policies and procedures that directly impact the culture of care. Analyzing areas of weakness within the organizational structure and culture via established assessments like the Patient-and Family-Centered Care Organizational Self-Assessment Tool, it is possible to create multidisciplinary teams that promote the organization’s vision of….

Ob-Gyn Maternal HIV Testing Study
Coleman et. al., (2009) Patient Perceptions of Obstetrician-gynecologists' Practices Related to HIV Testing. Maternal Child Health Journal 13: 355-363.
The study objectives were to identify the percentage of women who had been tested for HIV, explore the perceptions of women patients about HIV testing and ascertain their knowledge about their own HIV risk status, to determine the primary reasons patients refuse to be tested for HIV, and to learn what patients recall about how their obstetrician-gynecologists' introduced the topic of HIV testing.
The authors hypothesized that pregnant women, women seeking preconception care, and women with risk factors for HIV infection would recall their obstetrician-gynecologists recommending HIV testing" (Coleman, et al., 2009)
Overall research goal & recommendation. The purpose of the study was to identify if patient-physician communication about HIV risks and testing to pregnant women is consistent with current recommended practice, and to determine….
Education of Abbasid
Today, the majority of high school students hope to finish college one day. This is a realistic dream for many, as there is an established education system that gives students a choice of career paths and training. The modern world if full of universities and training centers. However, the world was not always like this. Many centuries ago, education was limited to the privileged and even the privileged did not have many opportunities in learning. Today's existing modern educational system has been influenced by traditions of the past, particularly by the great advances that occurred during the Abbasid Dynasty in the Muslim world.
One of the achievements of Muslim culture during the Abbasid Dynasty was the widespread spread of literacy. Elementary education was almost universal, especially in the cities. Emphasis on the value of reading and writing stems from the very first revelations of the Qur'an, which mention how….
Patient Centered Medical Homes
In the 1960s, the medical home concept referred to as patient centered medical home was developed.In order to reform the healthcare in the U.S.; the patient centered medical homes are evolving as a centerpiece of efforts (Bates, 2010). Basically, PCMH can be defines as a primary care model that offers coordinated and comprehensive care to the patients in order to improve health outcomes.

The purpose is to improve the health as well as healing of the people in that community. In comparison with the primary care, PCMH is more responsive towards the needs of local patients.
PCMH offers a number of benefits including complementary nutrition as well as wellness counseling along with providing prevention education so as….

Many advocates of the move feel that lower patient to nurse ratio would lead to additional savings because it would reduce nurse turnover rate, lawsuits, complications and length of stay. Nursing unions in the state of California have asked for a PTN ratio of 3 to 1. The health association however agreed on 5 to 1 which sound more reasonable than the originally proposed 10 to 1. (othberg, 2005)
Patient to nurse ratio when it is too high can definitely adversely affect care. And with baby boomers aging and needing healthcare, we know that number of people looking for healthcare will continue to rise in the coming years. However staff shortage continues to pose a serious problem. And unfortunately, the problem doesn't always lie with cost control. While it is true that most of the problems with staff shortage can be attributed to hospitals cutting down their costs and hence….

Motivational Education
My 7th grade student, Alice Harding, had problems since the beginning of the year. Not only was she painfully shy and never participated in group work; she also appeared not to be interested in either studying the lessons or doing her homework. Whereas her work in the beginning of the years was promising, it had reached a point where I felt intervention is necessary. Her grades had dropped with nearly 20% since the beginning of the year. I have chosen Alice for this project, because I feel she is a perfectly intelligent girl, who with the right methods can be motivated to perform much better.
I had previously tried several methods to attempt to enhance Alice's feelings of security in the classroom. One of the methods was dividing the class into smaller groups of four, and giving them simple tasks to do. Alice however still failed to participate, and she….
