Teaching Barriers
Teaching Barriers
Healthcare professionals are skilled in accessing their patient’s learning abilities and finding ways to educate them effectively. But there are many different barriers to consider that can potentially affect their learning. Some of these barriers include low literacy and lack of motivation. When it comes to low literacy, many individuals feel embarrassed to admit their learning deficits and try to hide them by appearing to those educating them that they understand when they do not. There are different techniques and tips available for nurses to inform their patients with low literacy better. The first step is assessing the patient’s literacy. The National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) is a large-scale national assessment tool designed to measure a patient’s literacy (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2017). Once the patient’s level of education is addressed, the nurse must find what learning style is most effective for the patient and what resources can help the patient, such as brochures, posters, group classes, or videos.
