Abstract

In both face-to-face and teleophthalmology glaucoma clinics, there are significant time constraints and limited resources available to educate the patient and their carers regarding the glaucoma condition. Glaucoma patients are often not satisfied with the content and amount of information they receive and have demonstrated a substantial lack of knowledge regarding their condition. Innovative educational tools that facilitate accessible digital remote patient education can be a powerful adjunct to empower patients in becoming healthcare partners.We describe the development of a free, comprehensive, multimodal online glaucoma patient education course for adults with glaucoma, their family and friends and carers, with the aim of providing a readable resource to aid remote learning and understanding of the condition.The working group for the development of the course comprised of consultants, medical practitioners and education specialists and expert patients. Given the specialised nature of ophthalmology and glaucoma, certain aspects can be difficult to conceptualise, and, therefore, clear and adequate explanations of concepts are provided in the course using diagrams, flow charts, medical illustrations, images, videos, written text, analogies and quizzes.The course is available in a short and long version to suit different learning needs which take approximately 2 hours and 10 hours to complete respectively. The contents list allows course takers to find sections relevant to them and it can be taken anywhere, as long as there is Internet access.We invite you to share this resource with your patients and their families, friends and carers.

为青光眼患者提供在线教育课程,以促进远程学习和患者赋权。
在面对面和远程眼科青光眼诊所,有明显的时间限制和资源有限,教育患者和他们的护理人员关于青光眼的情况。青光眼患者通常不满意他们收到的信息的内容和数量,并且对他们的病情缺乏了解。创新的教育工具可以促进可访问的数字远程患者教育,这是使患者成为医疗保健合作伙伴的有力辅助手段。我们描述了一个免费的、全面的、多模式的青光眼患者在线教育课程的开发,为青光眼成人、他们的家人、朋友和照顾者提供一个可读的资源,以帮助远程学习和了解病情。制定该课程的工作组由顾问、医疗从业人员、教育专家和专家患者组成。鉴于眼科和青光眼的特殊性,某些方面可能难以概念化,因此,课程中使用图表,流程图,医学插图,图像,视频,书面文本,类比和测验提供了清晰和充分的概念解释。课程分为长、短两种,分别约需2小时和10小时,以满足不同的学习需求。内容列表允许课程参与者找到与他们相关的部分,并且可以在任何地方使用,只要有互联网接入。我们邀请您与您的患者及其家人、朋友和护理人员分享此资源。
