Abstract

Objectives To evaluate the effects of using an audiovisual animation (i.e., digital video) displayed on a personal digital assistant (PDA) for patient education in a clinical setting.Methods Quasi-experimental study of a prospective technology intervention conducted in an outpatient infectious diseases clinic at an academic medical center. Subjects responded to questions immediately before, immediately after, and 4-6 weeks after watching a digital video on a PDA. Outcome measures include participant knowledge of disease, knowledge of medications, and knowledge of adherence behaviors; attitudes toward the video and PDA; self-reported adherence; and practicality of the intervention.Results Fifty-one English-speaking adults who were initiating or taking medications for the treatment of HIV/AIDS participated in the study. At visit one, statistically significant improvements in knowledge of disease (p<0.005; paired t-test), knowledge of medications (p<0.005; paired t-test), and knowledge of adherence behaviors (p<0.05; ANOVA) were measured after participants watched the PDA-based video. At visit two (4-6 weeks later), statistically significant improvements in self-reported adherence to the medication regimens (p<0.005; paired t-test) were reported. Participants liked the PDA-based video and indicated that it was an appropriate medium for learning, regardless of their baseline literacy skills. The video education process was estimated to take 25 min of participant time and was viewed in both private and semi-private locations.Conclusions Technology-assisted education using a digital video delivered via PDA is a convenient and potentially powerful way to deliver health messages. The intervention was implemented efficiently with participants of a variety of ages and educational levels, and in a range of locations within clinical environments. Additional study of this methodology is warranted.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Several descriptive and quasi-experimental studies conclude that text message reminders are acceptable, feasible, and useful for improved treatment adherence among PLHIV in resource-constrained settings.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
