This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of Timing It Right (TIR)-based staged video education for 100 patients on home enteral nutrition (HEN). The intervention group showed significant improvements in functional status, anxiety, and depression compared to the control group, with all P ≤ 0.001. No significant differences were observed in quality of life or readmission rates.
Key findings
- The intervention group had significantly greater improvements in functional status (KPS) over time compared to the control group.
- Anxiety (SAS) and depression (SDS) scores decreased significantly in the intervention group (P ≤ 0.001).
- Patient satisfaction improved in the intervention group (PSQ-18, P < 0.05).
Why it matters
Effective patient education is crucial for managing home enteral nutrition, as it can significantly impact patients' functional status and mental health. This study highlights the importance of tailored educational interventions to meet evolving patient needs post-discharge.
