Description

Abstract: A practical handbook to aid nurses in their role as patient educators focuses on identifying patient needs at difference care or recovery stages, and discusses and illustrates the relationship that the nurse forms with the patient and how mutual learning goals are negotiated. Emphasis is placed on achieving patient behavior change through various teaching strategies that are explored in terms of their efficacy and application. Topics covered in the 5 text chapters include: the characteristics and importance of the nurse as a patient health teacher; the characteristics of the different patient types, ranging sequentially from young children to the elderly; the attainment of patient compliance; the development and application of interpersonal techniques and teaching strategies; and guidelines for developing patient education tools.
