Each patient has a different Learning Style. To effectively Educate or Inform a Patient, it is best to learn the Patient's Learning Style and other factors before you try to Teach them.
Whether Patient or not each of us learns best by one or more of the following:
- Kinesthetic Learning Style - Learn by Doing.
- Auditory Learning Style - "Listening"
- Visual Learning Style - "Seeing" via pictures, images, demonstrations, etc.
- Verbal Learning Style - Involving Words, either Spoken and/or Written.
In addition, each patient has certain physical and/or mental abilities to learn and to do things after patient education. There might be Physical and/or Mental Limitations which impede Learning, though many of these limitations can be handled by special means.
Furthermore, Patient's Language and/or Culture should be considered.
