_Patient education is the process of assisting people to learn health
related behaviors so they can incorporate these _behaviors_ into
their everyday _life_
Patient educational approaches can range from formal educational
programming such as group lecture settings to informal, individualized one-
on-one teaching and to self-directed learning by the patient that is
facilitated by the nurse.1 Formal patient education courses or classes are
useful to address needs common to a group of patients or as individual
teaching sessions. Formal courses are often taught using a
curriculum/course plan with standardized content. In contrast, informal
teaching often occurs in one-on-one sessions with the patient and/or
family. Informal sessions may be
planned or spontaneous, but they
do not follow a specified formalized
plan. An informal approach
represents a large portion of patient
education done by nurses. In fact,
the majority of critical education
occurs with each patient encounter
when medications, diet, or
treatment is explained or
simply when answering questions about the patient's issues or concerns.
Individual
or self-directed education results when a patient or family obtains and/or
completes an educational activity independent from the nurse or other
health care providers. With the influence of consumerism and the availability
of information, a great deal of education can occur through self-directed
learning employing written material or media (e.g., Internet and video)
designed to assist the patient with information about health topics, a
particular disease, treatments, or a specific skill
Teaching _planned : the nurse knows the patient and determines the
appropriateness of education; nurse plans the teaching to meet learning
_outcomes_; Learning_ outcomes are _goal_ oriented: the outcome is to
change
a behavior or attitude; Patient is motivated to learn
