Introduction :
It was a big challenge to promote patient’s motivation and learning atmosphere
in convalescence and rehabilitation setting. Long term physical deficits and restricted mobility made patients feel lost and depressed. Hospital leaders and team promoted person centered care relied on patient and clinician relationships. Conductive education program was concerned by person centered training. It was promoted to the training impairment and associated needs for them in living activities.
Objectives :
To promote patient’s motivation and engagement with conductive education among Bradbury Hospice Hospital/Shatin Cheshire Home/Shatin Hospital.
Methodology :
Pilot program “Relax in Rehab, Rejoice through Recharge!” conducted among (BBH/SCH/SH) for rehabilitation and convalescence settings organized with Central Nursing Division (CND). Introductory workshop arranged by CND with outside professional speaker for provide training to nurses. Program’s design introduced to all departments in Nursing Service Committee Meeting for collect consensus. The pilot
program training targets mainly were stroke or cognitive and functional deficits patients. Training sessions were based on conductive education themes for initiate, develop and maintain their physical and mental function with holistic approach. Program’s design included group table exercise, games and hand crafts. Program rundown and training materials all supported by CND. The participant’s department reported to CND with photos and evaluation form at the end of the training.
Result & Outcome :
Total of three training sessions implemented in Nov 2019 among three hospitals. Six patients and four nurses participated in each training session. Evaluation form was provided for the nurses and patients to collect comments of the program. The evaluation form was covered with program design, benefits of training and resource support. Both nurses and patients were feedbacked with good and positive comments. Nurses agreed training benefits for patients to improve their motivation. Patients also agreed that the training provides an opportunity for them to recognize the similar circumstances for social support. Conclusions: Although nurses encouraged the patients to engage in activities to the extent possible, their limitations were the physical deficits and cognitive impairment. Conductive education which was promoted to patients were active in the learning process. The continuous training was highly recommended for our rehabilitation and convalescence setting hospitals.
