A quasi-experiment was conducted on 127 hospitalized rheumatoid arthritis patients to determine the relative success of 3 patient teaching strategies--an individualized program, a routinized program, and a no-planned-instruction program--on patients' knowledge of their disease and treatment. Data analysis revealed that the individualized program produced a 100% greater learning gain than the routinized program in patients who had low pretest scores. The results suggest that maximum patient learning occurs when the teaching process accommodates important patient differences.
对127名住院类风湿性关节炎患者进行了一项准实验，以确定三种患者教育策略——个性化方案、常规方案和无计划指导方案——在患者对自身疾病和治疗的了解方面的相对成效。数据分析显示，在预测试分数较低的患者中，个性化方案比常规方案产生的学习收获高100%。结果表明，当教学过程适应患者的重要差异时，患者能实现最大程度的学习。
