Document Summary
Teaching implications for nurse: adult learning principles applied to patient and caregiver teaching (table 4-1) Patients need to know why they should learn something, what they need to learn, and how it will benefit them. Readiness and motivation to learn are high when facing new tasks. Health crisis provide opportunities for patients to learn and change behavior. Stress and anxiety may interfere with learning, thus requiring reinforcement of content. Motivation is increased when patients already know something about the subject from past experiences. Identification of past knowledge and experiences can help find familiar ground to increase patient"s confidence. Long-term goals may have less appeal than short-term goals. Focus teaching on information that the patient views as being needed right now. Patients seek out various resources for specific learning and prefer to have choices learning. When the patient does not recognize the relevancy of the teaching, offer explanations of the value of learning.
