ABSTRACT
Effective Patient Teaching (EPT), a course designed to improve health professionals' and health professions students' teaching skills, reliably produces gains in participants' skills when presented by its developers. The objective of this dissemination research study was to investigate whether, using a 'training of trainers' approach, seven nurses with staff development responsibilities in five different sites could teach EPT with similar effectiveness. The evaluation included pre- and post-course analysis of audiotaped patient education sessions conducted by 48 health professional participants who took EPT from one of the trainers in their home institutions. Post-course participant satisfaction surveys were also administered. EPT resulted in teaching skill improvements in four of five sites, and overall teaching skills scores improved significantly (P < 0.01). EPT can improve participants' teaching skills when taught by health professional trainers with staff development responsibilities who have recently received EPT training.
