Shaping the experience of behavior: construct of an electronic teaching module in nonpharmacologic analgesia and anxiolysis.

Full Abstract

RATIONALE

AND OBJECTIVES:
The authors' purpose was to develop an electronic teaching module in nonpharmacologic analgesia and anxiolysis for use in the radiology department.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The teaching document was derived from previous training courses validated by patient outcome. Skills in structured empathic attention and guidance of self-hypnotic relaxation were tested in a previous prospective, randomized study with 241 patients and shown to affect positively patients' perception of pain and anxiety. Patients undergoing hypnosis had the greatest relief and most hemodynamic stability. The skills applied also saved, on average, 17 minutes of procedure time and approximately $340 in sedation cost per case. With these validated behavioral skills, an electronic teaching module was constructed.

RESULTS:
The mode of teaching reflected the content of teaching, which was achieved through a multimedia format containing text, audio, video, pictures, and animation. Advanced navigation tools put the students in control of their learning experience. Inclusion of experiential components, congruity of language with Ericksonian syntax, and provision of an electronic journal catered to the development of greater biobehavioral awareness.

CONCLUSION:
Electronic teaching modules for biobehavioral skill training are feasible and promise to reduce the time need for life interactions with instructors.
