Concept Analysis Diagram – Patient Education



Nursing Practice Directed toward what contributes to a normal concept and is thereby related to all factors involved in or with the concept. Not always needed to have a normal outcome.

Improved health behavior, overcoming barriers to learning, actively participating in the process of learning, and improved health status, all indicate when this concept is adequately functioning. The antecedents identify the events which must happen prior to the concept’s optimal existence. These include lack of knowledge, readiness to learn, ability to communicate, access to the educator/education, and the ability to learn. For example, if the patient has an issue with literacy, the education could be impeded if the nurse does not accurately assess the patient's ability to learn and adjust the learning activities accordingly. The sub concepts or major components of the patient education concept are all aspects closely examined throughout the lecture content. These correlate closely to the nursing process and this is reviewed in the power point presentation. The interrelated concept impacts the Patient Education concept and/or the Patient Education concept impacts them. Those listed on the diagram are Safety, Cognition, Human Development, Communication, Clinical Judgment, Health Promotion, Evidence-Based Practice, Quality Improvement, and Teamwork and Collaboration. Outcomes from Patient Education may be either positive or negative. If Patient Education is optimally functional positive outcomes such as wellness, promotion of self-efficacy, reduced health risk factors, and/or an adaptation to changing health status may occur. If health is affected negatively due to mal-education or no-education, then the negative consequences might include increased health costs, frequent hospital admissions, mal practice suits, non-compliance, and negative health outcomes Patient Education is the process of influencing the patient's behavior to effect changes in knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed to maintain and improve health. Research supports the fact that educated patients experience better health and have fewer complications. This results in fewer hospitalizations and emergency department, clinic, and physician visits. Nursing interventions, which would include Patient Education, would be implemented proactively or when negative consequences occur. The process of Patient Education would consider the Antecedents to optimize its effectiveness. When the process attains the measureable Attributes then positive outcomes should occur. ................
