Patient Education
Instructional goals
-
To raise patients awareness of the compliance with prescribed treatment for patients with myocardial infarction;
-
To raise patients awareness of the benefits of healthy lifestyles.
Behavioral Objectives
Blooms taxonomy includes six levels: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating (Bastable, 2017).
-
Remembering: Patients will be able to enumerate the most common types of medications to be used.
-
Understanding: Patients will be able to describe some symptoms of deteriorating health and ways to react.
-
Analyzing: Patients will be able to classify the most harmful and beneficial health behaviors.
-
Evaluating: Patients will be able to compare their lifestyles.
-
Creating: Patients will be able to create plans for their post-discharge healthy behaviors.
Lesson Content
The program will include several sessions that will be held throughout patients hospital stay. Each lesson will last for one hour and will include the following elements: short lecture, discussions, group work, and evaluation (see Table 1). Patients will receive leaflets containing summaries of the lesson. They will also complete brief surveys concerning the content of the lesson at the end of each training session.
Table 1. Lesson Content.
Learning Evaluation
The quizzes completed by the patients are checked and discussed during the following session.
Staff Development
Nurses will be involved in the provision of training for patients. Staples (2015) states that nursing professionals are involved in patient training in many ways ranging from giving certain recommendations or telling life stories to run training sessions. It is noteworthy that nursing practitioners can provide training to patients and their caregivers, which can facilitate patients recovery process and improve their health outcomes.
Instructional goals
-
To help nurses revise major information given to patients with myocardial infarction that can help them during the post-discharge period;
-
To raise nurses awareness of effective training strategies and Blooms taxonomy.
Behavioral Objectives
-
Remembering: Nurses will be able to list the most common symptoms that can develop in patients with myocardial infarction during the first weeks after discharge. Nurses will be able to name the six levels described by Bloom.
-
Understanding: Nurses will be able to describe Blooms levels of knowledge. Nurses will be able to describe some training strategies.
-
Applying: Nurses will be able to choose the most effective training strategies to achieve training objectives.
-
Creating: Nurses will be able to modify training strategies and lesson plans to adjust them to the needs of their patients.
Lesson Content
Training sessions for nurses will be rather short (one hour) due to the scarcity of time (see Table 2). The sessions will be held once a week. Nurses will be provided with specific plans they can use and modify if necessary. However, they will still be trained to use the training strategies mentioned in the lesson plans. Nurses will be encouraged to create their own lesson plans and discuss them during training sessions.
Table 2. Lesson Content.
Learning Evaluation
Nurses will complete brief tests and quizzes based on the material discussed during training sessions. Based on the assessment, the instructor will include some topics in the following sessions so that nurses could grasp all the necessary material. Nurses should be encouraged to share their ideas on the contents of the training program or each training session (Sassen, 2017). This can be done in the form of brief reports or memos.
Family Education
Apart from patients and medical staff, patients close ones are also involved in their self-care (see Table 3). The family can help the patient comply with the prescribed treatment plan. Importantly, family members also help cope with various psychological issues patients have to face (Motacki & Burke, 2013). The training sessions held for patients caregivers will be short (45 minutes). Family members may consider attending lessons given to patients.
Instructional goals
-
To raise caregivers awareness of major symptoms, risk factors associated with their close ones conditions;
-
To raise family members awareness of psychological issues patients with myocardial infarction can face and ways to address them;
-
To raise caregivers awareness of common treatment plans and appropriate lifestyles for patients with myocardial infarction.
Behavioral Objectives
-
Remembering: Caregivers will be able to list major symptoms, risk factors, prescribed medication, and treatment plan.
-
Understanding: Caregivers will be able to describe the lifestyles appropriate for patients with myocardial infarction.
-
Applying: Caregivers will be able to choose effective communication strategies when addressing patients emotional issues.

Learning Evaluation
Family members complete brief questionnaires concerning the effectiveness of training sessions and the overall program.
