What Techniques Can Enhance Patient Understanding?
To enhance patient understanding:
1. Teach-Back Method: Have the patient repeat the instructions in their own words. 2. Chunking: Break down information into smaller, more manageable parts. 3. Use of Analogies: Relate medical information to everyday concepts. 4. Visual Demonstrations: Show rather than just tell, using props or demonstrations. 5. Follow-Up: Schedule follow-up calls or visits to reinforce instructions.
