Zusammenfassung: | The objective in this study was to analyze candidates' knowledge on the liver transplantation process before and after putting in practice an educational intervention.
A quasi-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest research design was adopted. The final sample included 15 subjects. Research data were collected between January and March 2010 in three phases, which were: pretest, implementation of the educational intervention (two meetings) and posttest.
The results evidenced significant cognitive gains after the intervention, with improvements in the participants' performance .
The research presents evidence that putting in practice a patient education strategy can enhance candidates' knowledge on the liver transplantation process and consequently contribute to a successful treatment. |
