Using the Teach-Back Method in Patient Education to Improve Patient Satisfaction.

BACKGROUND: This quasi-experimental research study used two similar nursing units to test the effects of teach back on Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores.

METHOD: A pretest-posttest design tested 24 nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about teach back. Education specialists provided a 1-hour teaching session on teach back to all nurses in the intervention unit.

RESULTS: A significant improvement in knowledge scores in the pretest-posttest was found using paired t tests (p = .002). Qualitative analysis of nurses' comments demonstrated strong support for teach back in the post-test. The HCAHPS scores were not significantly improved in the intervention unit when compared with the control unit.

CONCLUSION: More research needs to be conducted to determine the effectiveness of teach back on HCAHPS scores. J Contin Educ Nurs. 2017;48(1):47-52.
