BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Persons with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) have a high lifetime need for ongoing patient education to reduce the risk of serious and costly medical conditions. We have addressed this need through monthly in-person public education programs called SCI Forums. More recently, we began videotaping these programs for streaming on our website to reach a geographically diverse audience of patients, caregivers, and providers.
DESIGN/METHODS: We compared information from the in-person forums to that of the same forums shown streaming on our website during a 1-year period.
Both the in-person and Internet versions of the forums received high overall ratings from individuals who completed evaluation forms. Eighty-eight percent of online evaluators and 96% of in-person evaluators reported that they gained new information from the forum; 52 and 64% said they changed their attitude, and 61 and 68% said they would probably change their behavior or take some kind of action based on information they learned. Ninety-one percent of online evaluators reported that video is better than text for presenting this kind of information.
Online video is an accessible, effective, and well-accepted way to present ongoing SCI education and can reach a wider geographical audience than in-person presentations.
背景/目的:慢性脊髓损伤(SCI)患者一生都非常需要持续的患者教育,以降低患严重且昂贵疾病的风险。我们通过名为“SCI论坛”的每月现场公共教育项目满足了这一需求。最近,我们开始对这些项目进行录像,以便在我们的网站上播放,从而覆盖地域广泛的患者、护理人员和医疗服务提供者群体。
设计/方法:我们比较了为期1年的现场论坛信息与在我们网站上播放的相同论坛的信息。
现场版和网络版论坛都获得了填写评估表的个人的高度评价。88%的在线评估者和96%的现场评估者表示,他们从论坛中获得了新信息;52%和64%的人表示他们改变了态度,61%和68%的人表示他们可能会根据所学信息改变行为或采取某种行动。91%的在线评估者表示,对于呈现此类信息而言,视频比文字更好。
在线视频是提供持续SCI教育的一种便捷、有效且广受认可的方式,与现场展示相比,它能覆盖更广泛的地域受众。
