Development of a patient education program for new amputees.
In this article, the authors describe how the needs of the patient with a new amputation were assessed and how behavioral objectives were developed for an educational program that would address the knowledge, motor skills, and attitudes necessary for self-care. Two teaching techniques are described. An evaluation process that identifies the patient's or family's achievement of the objectives is discussed.
