Perceived Effectiveness, Cost, and Availability of Patient Education Methods and Materials

To determine the efficacy of and need for patient education methods and media, a needs assessment was sent to 816 members of the American Association of Diabetes Educators. Respondents (n=325, 40%) included 62% RNs, 36% RDs, 1% other; 62% CDEs. Their mean number of years experience in diabetes education was 8.5, and 99% routinely provided patient education. Respondents indicated that videotapes and slide tapes were the most educationally effective media and books and audiotapes were the least effective. Booklets and videotapes were the most cost-effective and computer-assisted instruction the least effective. While respondents perceived one-to-one counseling, skills training, and diabetes content sessions to be the three most educationally effective methods, support groups and large and small discussion groups were seen as the three most cost-effective educational methods. Among nine potential barriers to quality patient education listed, educators rated lack of third-party reimbursement as a major barrier most frequently and national availability of quality education materials as a barrier least frequently.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/68739/2/10.1177_014572179201800207.pd

Extensão Universitária: promovendo o aleitamento materno em tempos de pandemia

The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life and supplemented up to 2 years due to the numerous benefits of this practice for both the mother and the baby. This extension project aims to promote and support breastfeeding through the dissemination of knowledge in the area to ensure that pregnant women, puerperal and health professionals are assisted and safely informed about such practice. This study aims to describe how face-to-face actions were developed and how they were remotely adapted, bearing in mind  the focus of informing and motivating the target audience regarding breastfeeding and its importance as well as showing that even in times of crisis it is possible to develop new skills. To accomplish that, virtual meetings were carried out and the project was organized and reinvented through posts on Instagram, lives, workshops, campaigns, production of booklets, participation in congresses, participation in online events, and publication of scientific productions. In that period, 38 posts on Instagram were publicized, obtaining 444 followers with an average reach of 229 accounts and 295.7 impressions. Three theoretical-practical workshops and one live were also offered. It was counted on the production and publication of scientific articles, abstracts, campaign and book chapter, winning two awards in the scientific sphere. Given the pandemic situation, the project was able to disseminate knowledge within the target audience, mother-infant and undergraduate students, sharing safe information and, at the same time, promoting breastfeeding.A Organização Mundial da Saúde recomenda a amamentação exclusiva durante os primeiros seis meses de vida e complementada até os dois anos, visto os inúmeros benefícios desta prática para díade mãe-bebê. O projeto de extensão Falando em Amamentação visa a promover e apoiar o aleitamento materno por meio da divulgação do conhecimento na área a fim de assegurar às gestantes, puérperas e profissionais da saúde auxílio e informações seguras quanto à prática. Este trabalho objetiva descrever como se deram as ações presenciais e como foram adaptadas remotamente, com o mesmo foco de informar e motivar o público-alvo quanto à importância da amamentação, mostrando que, mesmo em tempos de crise, é possível desenvolver novas habilidades. Para contemplar tal objetivo, a partir de reuniões virtuais, o projeto se organizou e se reinventou através de posts no Instagram, lives, oficinas, campanhas, produção de cartilhas, participação em congressos e eventos online e produções científicas. Neste período, no Instagram foram desenvolvidas 38 publicações e obtiveram-se 444 seguidores com alcance médio de 229 contas e 295,7 impressões. Foram oferecidas 3 oficinas teórico-práticas e uma live. Contou-se com a produção e publicação de artigos científicos, resumos, campanha e capítulo de livro, conquistando duas premiações no âmbito científico. Diante do quadro pandêmico, o projeto conseguiu difundir o conhecimento com o público-alvo, materno-infantil e estudantes de graduação, compartilhando informações seguras e promovendo o aleitamento materno
