Effects of multimedia with printed nursing guide in education on self-efficacy and functional activity and hospitalization in patients with hip replacement.
This study aimed to examine the effects of multimedia with printed nursing guides in patient education on the improvement of self-efficacy, functional activity and length of hospitalization in patients with hip replacement. A quasi-experimental design was used. Control group received a routine care, whereas experimental group was given the multimedia with printed nursing guides. In the multimedia, CD is a collection of nursing instructions in the format of multimedia such as video and audio recorded into a CD. The result showed there are statistically different between experimental and control groups on self-efficacy (t = -7.93, P < 0.001), functional activities (t = 4.33, P < 0.001), and length of hospitalization (t = 2.54, P < 0.05). The findings indicated experimental group achieved higher self-efficacy with the help of multimedia with printed nursing guides. Control group needed more assistance in performing functional activities. Length of hospitalization was significantly shorter in experimental group than in control group. To better adapt to continual human resource reduction and to improve nursing service quality, wider applications of multimedia with printed nursing guides in patient education may be worthwhile.
