1 Reference guide for individual patient education Integrating Long-Term Home Oxygen Therapy into the COPD patients life Topics: 1. Long-Term home oxygen therapy and oxygen equipment To have a better understanding of the usefulness of long-term oxygen therapy To make better use of oxygen equipment (optimally and safely) Living well with oxygen on a day-to-day basis 2. Learning contract Authors 2 nd edition of the Living Well with COPD program, February 2011: Maria SEDENO and France PAQUET, Montreal Chest Institute, McGill University Health Centre Diane NAULT and Sylvie GAGNÉ, Regional home care services for chronic respiratory patients of the Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital.
2 INTEGRATING LONG TERM HOME OXYGEN THERAPY INTO THE COPD PATIENTS LIFE BASIC INFORMATION FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS Phases of the education session Session length Introduction: Introduction of healthcare professional minutes Educational intervention: Follow the sections in this guide using the educational methods, the questions and the necessary teaching and learning materials (Module Integrating Long Term Oxygen Therapy into your life and other material). Conclusion: Take note of the learning contracts. Assess what the patient has learned and, if necessary, refer the patient to the appropriate available professionals (doctor, pharmacist, etc.) depending on the biopsychosocial needs detected. Necessary documents Other teaching/learning materials Module Integrating Long Term Oxygen Therapy into your life Patients oxygen equipment Educational methods used in this guide (each method is referred to in the text by its number) [1] Learning needs assessment: Assess prior knowledge/skills to identify the patients needs. [2] Interactive method: Ask the patient questions, ask for his opinion, give him an opportunity to ask questions. [3] Creation of ambivalence (motivational interview technique): A rephrasing technique consisting of restating the patients comments using different words, creating doubt in the patients mind about the obstacles to change and proposing ways of overcoming these obstacles. Use open questions, change your strategy if you encounter patient resistance, express your confidence in the patients ability to cope with change, use the positive experiences already encountered by the patient and other people in similar situations (peer-modelling) to stimulate the patients desire for new positive learning experiences. [4] Demonstration and practice: Allow enough time to practise the techniques that need to be learned and mastered (use the patients equipment). This is necessary to develop the patients skills and self-confidence. [5] Learning contract: Plan for learning contracts involving patients and their families in the achievement of concrete objectives that are realistic in the short and long terms. [6] Self-efficacy evaluation: On a scale of 1 to 10, ask patients to identify their self-efficacy with respect to the behaviour that is to be adopted or modified, 1 = not at all confident and 10 = very confident. [7] Constructive feedback and reinforcement: Explain the effects of the patients behaviour on their own health to encourage the acquisition of selfmanagement strategies. Identify examples in the patients life when they have used self-management strategies and experienced positive results, and evaluate what could be improved if the results were negative. Re-evaluate how these experiences affected their self-efficacy and adherence to new behaviours. [8] Information summary: Ask patients to summarise the information they have been given to check comprehension. [9] Referral to other healthcare professionals: Prepare an assessment and refer the patients to other professionals or documentation if necessary. [10] Written information: Use printed learning materials to help patients remember what they have been taught. [11] Case history: Use simulations or scenarios to come up with solutions or stimulate the decision-making process. Suggested questions These are questions designed to assess patients needs, their comprehension of the given information and the expected outcomes. This evaluation should be conducted regularly throughout the learning process to verify that the predetermined goals and objectives have been achieved. Methods such as direct questions, problem solving, simulations and reiteration of key instructions can be used to complete the communication of information, constructively correct misunderstandings and errors and reinforce the newly acquired knowledge and skills. If any goals or objectives are not achieved, the education plan will eventually need to be reviewed and the process repeated using other methods. Notes: 1. For convenience, the pronoun he in this reference guide includes the female gender. 2. Adapt this guide as required according to the specific needs of the patient (i.e., types of medication he takes or equipment he uses) and the opportunities/limitations identified in the education session.
