The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the quality of patient education could be improved by using written education materials.
Seventy-five inpatients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were provided with individual education sessions during their inpatient stay. The education sessions were supported with written educational materials. A patient education quality instrument was used to assess the sufficiency and implementation of the education and the readiness of nurses and doctors to deliver the education. A Mann-Whitney U-test and content analysis was used to analyse the data.
There was a statistically significant difference in the sufficiency of education concerning the disease, medication and treatment after the revised material was introduced (p < 0.005). The quality of interaction improved significantly during the intervention (p = 0.004). The strengths of the education included individual treatment, two-way interaction, the opportunity to receive patient education and its sufficiency.
Clear, readable and understandable written education material improved the quality of the education of RA patients in terms of implementation, sufficiency and the readiness of nurses and doctors to deliver the education.
本研究的目的是评估使用书面教育材料是否能提高患者教育质量。
75名类风湿关节炎（RA）住院患者在住院期间接受了个性化教育课程。这些教育课程配有书面教育材料。使用患者教育质量工具来评估教育的充分性和实施情况以及护士和医生提供教育的准备情况。采用曼-惠特尼U检验和内容分析法对数据进行分析。
引入修订后的材料后，在疾病、药物和治疗方面的教育充分性存在统计学显著差异（p < 0.005）。干预期间互动质量显著提高（p = 0.004）。教育的优势包括个性化治疗、双向互动、接受患者教育的机会及其充分性。
清晰、易读且易懂的书面教育材料在实施、充分性以及护士和医生提供教育的准备情况方面提高了RA患者的教育质量。
