“…In line with our findings, most previous studies showed the positive effects of education on weight management (38), itching, and nausea (25,39,40). Nonetheless, a study reported that education did not significantly affect fluid intake and was not effective in behavior modification (41).…”

2017

Background: Providing patients with comfort is the basis of nursing care and a favorable outcome of nursing care measures. Comfort is of special importance to hemodialysis patients because they spend a large part of their lives in hemodialysis units and are constantly dealing with different physical and mental health problems. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of comfort-based interventions (back massage along with patient and family education) on the level of comfort among hemodialysis patients. Methods: As a randomized controlled trial, this study was undertaken in 2016 in the hemodialysis unit of Shahid Chamran hospital, Ferdows, Iran. A convenience sample of forty hemodialysis patients was recruited. Patients were alternately allocated to control or intervention groups based on their hemodialysis days. The hospice comfort questionnaire was completed for all participants at the beginning and at the end of the study. This questionnaire showed that the comfort needs of patients were related to muscle cramps, headache, back pain, nausea, lack of knowledge about arteriovenous fistula care, dietary and treatment regimens, itching, rest and sleep disorders, and impaired comfort. Patients in the intervention group received massage as well as patient and family education in six consecutive hemodialysis sessions, while their counterparts in the control group solely received the routine care services of the study setting. The SPSS software (v. 18.0) was used for data analysis through running the paired-and the independent-sample t tests. The significance level was set at less than 0.05. Results: The mean scores of comfort and its environmental and psychospiritual dimensions significantly increased in the intervention group (P < 0.001). Significant increases were also observed in the mean scores of comfort and its psychospiritual dimension in the control group (P < 0.05). Before the intervention, there were no significant differences between the groups respecting the mean values of comfort and its dimensions (P > 0.05). However, after the intervention, there were significant between-group differences in the mean scores of comfort and its environmental dimension as well as in the pretest-posttest mean difference for the environmental dimension of comfort.

“…The results of most studies are consistent with the findings of the present study: increasing patients' awareness via the above-mentioned educational methods results in their better adherence to their treatment plans. Accordingly, as members of healthcare teams, nurses can play a more effective part in patient education by applying multimedia education which is, due to its multisensory and interactive nature, able to suit various learning styles and make for easy, long-lasting learning [30]. Moreover, telephone follow-up and consultation can be used as beneficial ways of self-assessment, monitoring, and decision-making [16,31].…”

Background: Adherence to treatment regimen plays a crucial part in the prevention of the consequences of hypertension, thus identification and employment of effective educational methods to enhance patients' adherence to their treatment plans is important. Objective: The present study compares the effectiveness of multimedia and traditional methods of patient education in persuading patients with hypertension to stick to their treatment regimens. Methods: Conducted in 2019, the present study is an experimental work of research which lasted for 5 months. A convenience sample of 160 patients who visited the clinic and cardiac sections of a hospital located in the south-west of Iran was selected and then randomly divided into an intervention and a control group. The intervention consisted of multimedia education provided in 6 sessions and telephone follow-ups. The control group was given the traditional care. The research instruments were a demographics questionnaire and a medication adherence scale. Data were collected before, immediately after, and one month after the intervention. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS v. 19, independent t-test, and chi-square test. Results: The difference between the adherence to treatment regimen scores of the two groups as calculated immediately after and one month after the intervention was found to be statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion: Patient education via multimedia can significantly increase patients' adherence to their treatment regimens. Accordingly, it is recommended that nurses and other healthcare providers utilize this new educational approach to facilitate patient education and enhance adherence to treatment plan in patients with hypertension.

“…According to their results, this method significantly affected dimensions of self-efficacy and knowledge in patients; however, other dimensions did not change significantly (39). The results of a study by Davoudi et al demonstrated that the multimedia teaching method was effective in reducing hemodialysis patients' weights (40). Gholamizadeh et al examined the effect of a multimedia teaching program on the anxiety of patients admitted to chemotherapy wards and found that multimedia teaching did not affect the anxiety of patients admitted to chemotherapy wards (41).…”

Objective: The present study investigated and compared the effects of peer and multimedia teaching methods on medication adherence of heart failure patients. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was done in Arak University of Medical Sciences hospitals, Arak, Iran. Samples were 44 patients with heart failure, studied in two groups. Twenty-two patients received medication adherence education through multimedia content developed by the researchers and a trained peer educated the other 22 patients. The patients’ medication adherence was assessed with a medication adherence questionnaire designed by Girerd et al. (2001) before, immediately after, and 1 month after the intervention. Data was entered the SPSS 23 and analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics (ANOVA). Results: The study of medication adherence indicated that medication adherence was different in each group before, immediately after, and one month after the intervention; however, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: Both peer and multimedia education methods improved medication adherence in patients with heart failure. However, the improvement rate in medication adherence was higher in the multimedia group. Practice Implication: It is suggested to use an appropriate method for teaching patients in different situations based on the available facilities and conditions.
