Interventions
BEHAVIORALTeach-back educational method
In the teach-back method, after teaching new information to the patient, the patients were asked to explain that new information in their own words. Then the patients' knowledge and the adequateness of their explanations were determined. The patient should repeat the instructions in their own words. In this way, the healthcare professional can evaluate how the patient understands the information. If the patient repeated the information correctly, the teach-back phase for that information was completed, and progression for new information was resumed. However, if there was a deficiency or error in the information, it was corrected and repeated by the healthcare professional.
