Older Adults Patient Education Issues Essay and Interview

Healthcare workers utilize patient education to improve health outcomes and ease self-management. According to Perez-Ruiz & Desideri (2018), health education promotes the patient’s capacity to perform self-care since they gain more knowledge and skills. This paper seeks to describe the effect of patient education on care by use of a patient’s experience. To collect relevant information about this influence, the author interviewed an elderly man by the name of Mr. B. Mr. B is 55 years old who explained his experiences regarding the effect of patient education on healthcare. 

Mr. B is African American whose physical examination reveals a gait problem due to recurrent joint and big toe pains since two years ago. He has been on treatment for gout and his condition is improving. Regarding patient education, the author recognizes that health information shared to a patient by healthcare providers equips them with skills and knowledge (Y. Borja, personal communication, August 07, 2021). Besides, the author understands that the patient education sessions should be meaningful to the patient by responding to their needs and worries. Karimi Moonaghi et al. (2016) highlight that the practice of skills taught and the application of gained knowledge improve self-care efficacy and well-being since a patient can manage conditions as taught. 

Interview

Mr. B affirmed that a patient educator provides detailed information about gout and self-management during the treatment. He informed the author that he was advised to decrease alcohol intake and possibly quit its intake to minimize chances of relapse. The patient affirmed that healthcare professionals advised him to avoid red meat in diet, organ meat such as liver, and alcohol. Mr. B expressed his appreciation of the warmth and enthusiasm during the health education sessions (Y. Borja, personal communication, August 07, 2021). The patient informed the author that nurses in the care facilities would provide entertainment sessions, which helped him enjoy and avoid concentrating on his pain. Aung et al. (2017) recommend that patient education sessions should be interactive, enthusiastic, responsive to client’s needs, and motivated to improve care outcomes. 

Mr. B said that he received detailed health education from a nurse and physician who instructed him to take his medications at the right time and as prescribed. Besides, the patient affirmed that healthcare workers urged taught him development, associated health problems, and treatment of gout. Mr. B informed the author that he was put on “medications to reduce pain and swelling”, which are anti-inflammatory drugs to manage the joint disorder (Y. Borja, personal communication, August 07, 2021). According to Abishek & Doherty (2018), proper patient education promotes correct adherence to anti-inflammatory especially corticostero
