Description

A structured 90-minute session format in which patients with stable chronic conditions relevant to home nursing care join nursing classes. Each session included "a 15-minute structured patient narrative about living with their condition, a 30-minute moderated Q&A session facilitated by the instructor, a 30-minute small group discussion applying theoretical concepts to the patient case, and a 15-minute debriefing and synthesis." Twelve different patients participated across the 14-week course, each attending 2–3 sessions, and patients received a 2-hour orientation and compensation of approximately $20 per session.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Patients screened for medical stability, communication ability, and willingness to participate
  • Each patient received a 2-hour orientation session outlining educational objectives, session structure, and boundaries
  • The same instructors taught both groups with identical contact time (21 h) and standardized training

Constraints

  • Fidelity monitoring via monthly observation of 20% of randomly selected sessions using a 10-item checklist yielded a mean fidelity score of 92.4% (range: 85–100%)

Target Learners
