Abstract :

The aim of this educational intervention was to determine if the Patient Education Questionnaire (PAQ) would assess changes in learning across three timed measurements. Instrumentation: Competitive Greatness scale is defined as being the best you can be, continuous self-improvement, appreciating difficult challenges. PEQ measurements are provided by the patient education difficulty, patient education satisfaction and patient education apathy-borden common factors. The purpose was to create a patient education for senior level students (N=37) in a Bachelor of Science Nursing (BSN) program based on faculty lectures, faculty laboratory demonstration and student demonstration of skill in a simulation laboratory. Prior to the skill demonstration in the simulation laboratory, students selected one of the eight topics and submitted a term paper summarizing the topic and created a communication script describing how the information would be presented to the patient. Timed Measurements: 1st Assessment: Pre-test Intervention 1: Faculty lectures, faculty laboratory demonstration, assignment of small group research paper and communication script. 2nd Assessment: Intervention 2: Students assumed the role of a Registered Nurse in a simulation including the patient and family members. Faculty members spoke via a microphone as the voice for patient. 3rd Assessment: Hypothesis 1: The Patient Education Questionnaire (PEQ) was used to examine changes during the three timed-measurements. Using SPSS 25, a repeated measures ANOVA on these data produced a significant result (F(2,34) = 9.836, p=.001) for PEQ-Difficulty common factor. The data in the Pair-Wise Comparison tables revealed significant differences between Time 1 and Time 2 (p=.001), and Time 1 and Time 3 (p=.001). Hypothesis 2: On the PEQ-Satisfaction common factor, a significant result (F(2,34) = 4.623, p=.001) was found using ANOVA repeated measures. The data in the Pair-Wise Comparison tables revealed significant differences between Time 1 and Time 3 (p=.007). Hypothesis 3: An ANOVA repeated measures test found a significant result (F(2,34) = 7.613, p=.001) on the PEQ-Apathy & Boredom common factor. The data in the Pair-Wise Comparison tables revealed significant differences between Time 1 and Time 2 (p=.024) and Time 1 and Time 3 (p=.001). Hypothesis 4: An ANOVA repeated measures test found a significant result (F(2,34) = 11.603, p=.001) on the Competitive Greatness scale. The data in the Pair-Wise Comparison tables revealed significant differences between Time 1 and Time 2 (p=.001) and Time 1 and Time 3 (p=.001).
