BackgroundExplanations that involve medical care treatment take time. This also applies to explanations of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the field of infertility treatment. This is because the cause of infertility differs from couple to couple, and because the explanations must begin with the mechanism of pregnancy. Recently, explanations facilitated by tablet terminals have been used in the field of medicine. In the present study, the efficacy and problems of explanations facilitated by tablet terminals were evaluated and compared with the explanations of IVF facilitated by paper-based pamphlets.MethodsA total of 249 couples were asked to read a paper-based pamphlet explaining IVF treatment, while 252 couples were asked to view an explanation on a tablet terminal. The patients then answered a seven-item questionnaire. The answers to the questionnaire were based on a three-point scale, and statistical analysis was performed with the Mann-Whitney U test.ResultsPatients responded that the explanation facilitated by the tablet terminal was significantly easier to understand for all seven questionnaire items (p <0.05).The answer ‘I did not understand’ was selected for the items related to ‘The treatment fees’ (4.8% of answers) and ‘Things to take note of, such as consultation times’ (6.7% of answers).ConclusionWhile patients generally did not understand the mechanism of pregnancy, explanations of IVF treatment facilitated by a tablet terminal were found to be more effective than paper-based explanations, although there is room for improvement.

“…The participants also reported benefits of feeling more relaxed, the convenience of not having to arrange transportation, decreased sense of feeling overwhelmed with group education, and seeing other group members' body language and facial expressions (Banbury et al, 2014). In a study by Tilson, Loeb, Barbosa, Jiang, and Lee (2016), thirteen Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students utilized technology to increase older adults' health literacy and ability to participate in daily occupations by utilizing iPads to complete patient education 140 times or 18.2% in 691 days of clinical experiences. Students instructed clients on movement, posture, exercises, anatomy, and neurological symptoms using a variety of applications including the camera, muscle system pro III, VI Golf, Safari, HEP2go, Muscle System Pro, DrawMD, and Biomet Virtual Bone Model (Tilson et al, 2016).…”

Based on evidence in these articles, OT instructors should ensure students understand how to modify instructions to accommodate low health literacy in a majority of older adults.…”

Current evidence supports the use of technology with older adults and the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education standards for entry-level occupational therapy programs mandate instruction on the use of technology to support occupational performance. The literature does not clearly define specific strategies to teach entry-level occupational therapy students how to implement technology interventions with older adults. The purpose of this paper is to provide OT educators with recommendations for teaching entry-level students to use evidence-based technology with older adults. The authors reviewed current literature. The recent evidence helped the authors define practical curriculum recommendations for instructing entry-level occupational therapy students to integrate technology into older adults' interventions. Recommendations include use of telehealth visits, teleconferencing, iPad applications, smart phone applications, texting, emails, and video applications. With technology continually changing, occupational therapy instructors must increase their awareness of new applications and computer programs that occupational therapists can utilize in older adult interventions to maximize knowledge translation to their students.
