The Effect of Smartphone Video Educational Program on Educational Satisfaction of Patients in Rehabilitation Units at a University Hospital

Development and Effectiveness of a Patient Safety Education Program for Inpatients

“…However, it is difficult to directly compare the results due to the absence of a standardized instrument that measures knowledge on patient safety for inpatients. The results of this study were also consistent with the results of previous studies that showed improved patient safety knowledge and educational satisfaction after repeated education sessions [ 24 ]. Providing an effective patient safety education program implied increased capability among the patients to avoid various accidents that may occur to them [ 41 ].…”

“…In previous studies, education on patient safety and fall prevention was promoted by utilizing videos and instructor-led education [ 22 , 29 ], mobile devices such as smartphones or tablet PCs [ 24 , 25 ], and simulation with cramming education on theories [ 39 ]. The patient safety education programs in the previous studies were mainly applied once for inpatients [ 22 , 24 ] and the educational contents were limited to fall prevention [ 40 ] or operation-related adverse events [ 25 ]. The patient safety program developed in this study included multidimensional patient safety activities on patient identification as well as prevention of infections, bedsores, and fires.…”

“…In some studies, patient safety education was delivered using data from the “Participate Inform Notice Know (PINK)” video for inpatients [ 21 , 22 ], wherein education on patient safety was imparted using audiovisual educational materials [ 23 ], smartphone videos [ 24 ], and a smartphone application [ 25 ] for surgery patients. However, rather than dealing with the overall contents of patient safety, the training focused on precautions, fall prevention, and postoperative self-management in accordance with the characteristics of the patient’s disease [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. In addition, the U.S. holds a campaign to allow patients to participate in patient safety through “speak-up” activities centered on medical institutions and actively report accidents to prevent patient safety accidents [ 28 ].…”
