Objective To determine if there is a difference between the knowledge acquisition produced by traditional patient counseling strategies versus novel Coumadin patient counseling strategies. Methods Participants were exposed to a verbal-based or video-based patient counseling session. The same content of the Coumadin Rap Song (CRS) was orally delivered to participants within the verbal-based arm by a licensed pharmacist. A ten-question assessment was administered to participants in both the groups before and after exposure to the respective counseling sessions. Performances on the assessments were evaluated on a scale from 0% to 100%. Results A total of 50 participants were screened and included in the study. Of these, 26 participants were assigned to the CRS group and 24 participants were assigned to the verbal-based group. Assessment of score changes from baseline between the verbal and CRS groups did not demonstrate statistical significance ( p = 0.18; Fig. 2). Evaluation of responses within the CRS and verbal-based group revealed statistical differences from baseline (Tables 1 and 2). Conclusion Video-based counseling was shown to be equally effective as verbal-based counseling techniques. Widespread implementation of video-based mediums may find favor within various health care settings. Increasing the amount of innovative platforms for patient education can potentially augment counseling efforts of health care professionals. |
