"Evaluation Of Education Materials Using Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory": Analysis
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. The purpose of this study is to help nurses gain a significantly better perspective upon how well patients understand educational materials pertinent to their well being based upon overall literacy. When patients do not have the wherewithal to understand instructional and/or educational materials pertaining to their health status, they are less likely to appropriately care for themselves. Because the availability of "easy-to-read health information and instruction materials for patients with poor literacy skills heightens health disparities and dissatisfaction with care already experienced by many disadvantaged patients" (Wilson et al, 2003, pp. 68-76), it stands to reason how this study seeks to bridge that ever-widening social gap. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
