Health Education Pre-Brief Activity_STUDENT VERSION

· Review Course Lecture PPTS and readings for Chapter 5: Frameworks for Health Promotion, Disease Prevention and Risk Reduction.

· Read the “Diabetes: Teaching Patients Self-Care” Module by Tracey Long RN, PhD, APRN (see attachment in Bright Space).

· NOTE: This module is to help you understand the process of health education, not to educate you about any specifics related to diabetes. Please keep this in mind. The principles of education that are covered in this module are essential for ALL educational topics (not just the one focused on here). You are encouraged to create an educational plan based on your “client’s” needs. (examples: weight loss, hypertension management, stress relief etc). Do NOT do a plan on diabetes management, because this is covered in full in this module.

 

· Using this module, answer the following questions:

 

1) Pages 4-9 provide a brief summary of this client’s conditions (in this example, Diabetes Mellitus). This demonstrates why it is important to have a good understanding of the client’s condition/disease before beginning a health education activity.

· For your client:

· Identify the disease/condition that you plan to address in this teaching plan

My client is an eight-year old African American child. She has sealants in her lower premolars in order serve as barrier to protect the teeth from getting cavities. Sealants are usually applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth and sometimes used to cover deep pits and grooves

Children as well as adults benefit from proper dental hygiene, poor dental hygiene can lead to cavities, plaques, mouth odor and gum disease. Poor dental hygiene is also linked to heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

 

· What resource/s will you use to review this disease/condition, in preparation for teaching? (Remember, all resources should be current and evidence-based).

I will be using two scholarly articles primarily; “Parental attitudes and knowledge toward the Child’s oral hygiene and nutrition” A Systematic Reviews in Pharmacy as well as “Evaluation of children’s perception of behavior management techniques used in pediatric dentistry”.

 

2) Pages 9-12 discusses barriers to effective teaching.

· List 3 barriers that healthcare professionals experience:

· Poor understanding of the long-term effects of dental hygiene

· Low interest

· Poor communication

· List 3 strategies to overcome the barriers you identified:

· Establish an atmosphere of trust and relaxation

· Introduce the topic in a fun way

· Use plain language and simple examples

 

3) Pages 12-13 discusses Patient Centered Diabetes Education.

· What is the difference between DOPE and HOPE?

· DOPE is the traditional patient education model which focuses on disease-oriented patient education. On the other hand, health-oriented patient education (HOPE) includes empowerment strategies that place the patient rather than the physician at the center; this strategy sees the patient as a partner in decision making.

· How has the role of (diabetes) health educator changed in recent times?

· The health educator has changed from a “sage on stage” to that of a “guide on the side”. In other words, the health educator is not in charge of running the client’s health, rather they are on the sidelines cheering them as they make the changes and decisions needed for their health.

· How do we keep our education “patient-centered”?

· By involving the patient in the decision-making process as well as taking into consideration of their personal preferences.

· What is the benefit of patient-centered education?

· If our education is patient-centered, then it is easier for them to comply. Th e patient also feels empowered to make the decisions that ultimately improve their health.

 

 

4) Pages 13-18 discuss the ASSURE mnemonic for teaching.

A: Analyze

· Which elements are important to “Analyze” in our learners?

· The patient’s language, learning style, age, gender and personal preferences

· What are the 4 basic learning styles discussed in this module?

· Auditory, Kinesthetic, Tactile and Visual

· How can you assess learning styles in your client?

· You can assess their learning style by asking relevant questions as well as being a good observer.

S: State the Objectives

· Remember, all objectives should be SMART. What does this mean?

Smart objectives are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-limited. This means that objectives for the patient should bot be vague or infinite, rather it should be within the patient’s strength and ability to do.

·

· When creating objectives for the learning session, how do you best decide what to teach?

· By inquiring from the client or patient what their interest is and in what order they will like to learn the new information.

S: Select appropriate teaching method

· List 3 examples of teaching methods that can be implemented during health education sessions:

· visual

· audio

· case study

U: Use effective instructional materials

· List 3 examples of instructional materials that can be used for health education:

· videos

· printed materials

· demonstrations

R: Require learner performance

· What are the 4 domains of learning?

· behavioral

· cognitive

· affective

R: Evaluate the learning

· What are the best methods to utilize to evaluate effectiveness of teaching?

· By asking them to perform a ‘teach-back’ in order to evaluate that they understood what was taught.

 

5) Pages 18-26 discuss various theories and models for change. Use this information to guide your selection of a theory/model for your educational session.

Cognitive Learning Theory: states that people can learn logically and by social example. For example, in eating we humans tend to be more emotional than rational. This theory posits that people tend to rely on emotions rather than reasoning/logic when making decisions.

 

Humanistic learning Theory: This theory which was postulated by Abraham Maslow. He believed that what drives people to action, including learning and behavior change, is based on trying to fill the most urgent need at the time. His classic pyramid model demonstrates that the most primary human needs are survival, and only after having food, shelter, air, elimination of pain and waste, can we then focus on higher-level needs such as safety and security, social belonging, love and affection, and ultimately self-actualization.

 

Adult learning Theory: identifies how adults learn and helps anyone who teaches adults to understand what motivates them. Such as learning is voluntary, active, problem-centered and related to the specific adult.

 

6) Pages 30-32 discuss Creating a Lesson Plan. Use this information to guide you as you create a lesson plan for your client.
