Robin Orr (1990) noted that illness can

more active role in their care.
Overall, clients are more satisfied
with care when they receive
adequate information about how to
manage for themselves.
Teaching and Instruction
•Verbal request
•A question
•A puzzled or confused look
•A gesture of defeat or frustration
•Teaching therefore, is a highly versatile
strategy that can be applied in
preventing, promoting, maintaining, or
modifying a wide variety of behaviors in
a learner who is receptive, motivated,
and adequately informed.
Learning
•Defined as a change in behavior
(knowledge, skills, and attitudes) that
can occur at any time or in any place as a
result of exposure to environmental
stimuli.
•An action by which knowledge, skills,
and attitudes are consciously and
unconsciously acquired such that
behavior is altered in some way that can
be observed or measured.
“ The success of the nurse
educator’s endeavors at
teaching is measured not by
how much content has been
imparted, but rather by how
much the person has learned.”
Patient Education
•A process of assisting people to learn
health-related behaviors (knowledge,
skills, attitudes, and values) so that
they can incorporate those behaviors
into everyday life.
•The purpose of which is to assist clients
to achieve the goal of optimal health
and independence in self-care.
Staff Education
•The process of influencing the behavior
of nurses by producing changes in their
knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values.
•Its purpose is to help nurses maintain
and improve their competencies as
required for the delivery of quality care
to the client.
•Both patient and staff education
involve forging a relationship
between learner and educator so
that the learner’s information
needs can be met through the
process of education.
ASSURE MODEL
• A useful paradigm to assist nurses to organize
and carry out the education process created by
Rega in 1993. The acronym stands for:
A – nalyze the learner
S – tate the objectives
S – elect instructional methods and tools
U – se teaching materials
R – equire learner performance
E – valuate/revise the teaching and learning
process
