Abstract
Introduction:Therapeutic patient education (TPE) serve as an aid to the patient in learning and developing numerous competencies, adapting behaviours, thereby, leading to an improvement of different health parameters such as pain relief, faster recovery and improved quality of life TPE is in existence 30 years and numerous studies have demonstrated its efficiency. Various methods have been employed for providing TPE to patients.
Objective: Patient education (PE) has been discovered to be critical in SCI. In order to prevent and reduce the chances for further progression of SCI, patient education (PE) is considered to be of great influence. Proper care can further reduce the burden of re-hospitalization and cost penalties. Our study aimed at analyzing patient satisfaction and improvement of patient education and rehabilitation in two modes of home based patient education, one is the conventional method and the other is technology assisted. To improve PE, we hypothesize that tailoring and customizing technology assistance in the PE program will leads in better results.
Setting: Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, India.
Methods: A total of 60 SCI survivors were scrutinized on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria from Indian Spinal Injuries Centre and divided them into two groups (TARP and Conventional with 29 and 31 participants respectively) and weekly telephonic feedback was taken and noted on feedback and patient satisfaction and compliance questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed with Chi-square and one-way ANOVA to examine the responds of the subjects towards their corresponding mode of home rehabilitation program.
Results: In our study, technology assisted exercise program (TARP) wasn’t rated better than the conventional home based method. It however, showed improvements in terms of compliance of duration (p-value of 0.019) and feedback (p -value of 0.004).
Conclusion: In a nutshell, our study suggested that video assisted exercise program (TARP) in patient education was not rated better than routine method of patent education by the patients undergoing rehabilitation. However, the TARP group showed significant improvement in duration of exercise and treatment compliance and better feedback towards mode of exercises given for home care program. Regular follow up improves the adherence towards the rehabilitation and exercise based treatments.
