Forty-nine patients with open-angle glaucoma and 32 controls were studied at each of 2 medical centres, one in California and one in England. A 12-point questionnaire was answered before, immediately after, and 6 months after viewing a 6 minute video film about glaucoma. The English glaucoma patients and controls showed lower initial knowledge than their American counterparts. Immediately after the film all groups had substantially improved their knowledge by answering 78-88% of the questions correctly. Recall study showed that both American groups had retained more than their British counterparts and that glaucoma patients retained more knowledge of their disease than did controls. The use of an educational video film in an outpatient setting is a simple and economical method of patient education applicable to both American and British subjects with open-angle glaucoma.
在两个医学中心（一个位于加利福尼亚，另一个位于英国），对49例开角型青光眼患者和32名对照者进行了研究。在观看一部关于青光眼的6分钟视频影片之前、之后立即以及6个月后，受试者回答了一份12项的问卷。英国的青光眼患者和对照者初始知识水平低于美国的同类人群。观看影片后，所有组通过正确回答78%-88%的问题，知识水平都有了显著提高。回顾性研究表明，两个美国组比英国组保留了更多知识，并且青光眼患者比对照者保留了更多关于自身疾病的知识。在门诊环境中使用教育视频影片是一种简单且经济的患者教育方法，适用于美国和英国的开角型青光眼患者。
