Learning Objective #1: understand “Nursing Model on Education” (so-called TK Model). | |||
Learning Objective #2: understand “Sharing Facts and their Implications with the patient” and “Tailored Nursing Knowledge and Skills on Diseases and Treatments”. |
[Methods] Since 1994, 164 patient education cases have been analyzed by the research group of on average 14 nursing researchers and expert nurses held once a month. The inductive method was used in analysis. From the cases, the scenes in which patient’s behavioral modification occurred were extracted, the contents were described, and the concepts were identified.
[Results and Discussion] From the analyses of cases concerning the educational roles of nurses which led to changes in the patients, we extracted “tailored nursing knowledge and skills on diseases and treatments” and “sharing facts and their implications with the patient”. “Sharing facts and their implications with the patient” means that the nursing personnel, through interacting with the patient, captures and understands how the patient perceives and feels about diseases and life events, and shares this information with the patient through talking, communication and mutually confirmation. “Tailored nursing knowledge and skills on diseases and treatments” means that the nursing personnel tailors the content of knowledge and skill according to the symptoms, recognition and living of the patient, which strikes a good balance with the patient.
