Since the beginning of the 20th century, education has been considered a fundamental part of nursing practice and the primary means of improving health and preventing disease . Advances in the nursing profession reflect the importance placed on education in the promotion and maintenance of health and its important role in solving global health challenges (Bastable, 2008). According to Bastable (2006), education was identified as the main strategy to deal with the multiplicity of health problems and community nurses were the instrument of this strategy. Currently, patients and the community have access to more information about healthcare and health problems or illnesses. However, a large number of patients continue to ignore recommendations designed to help them improve or maintain their health. Patient teaching is an active process of communication. based on mutual trust and respect, which in turn promotes a partnership between patients and healthcare providers (Falvo, 2011). The patient education process allows all participants to share information so that common goals can be established and barriers to following recommendations can be identified and overcome. Patient education is a process of helping people learn health-related behaviors that they can integrate into their daily lives with the goal of achieving optimal health and independence in their self-care (Bastable, 2014 ). In this process, the nurse has the responsibility to help sick people find meaning in illness, as well as the very steps they must take to preserve health and control and cope with the symptoms of illness. effectively (Finkelman and Kenner, 2010). Unfortunately, nurses must overcome many obstacles that can interfere with the education of others and regulate the decision to reproduce the behavior. Socialization experiences, role models, and self-reactive influences are the motivating sources of social learning theory (Bastable, 2014). Although patient education involves providing information to patients, to be effective, patient education must also enhance patient teaching. Legal and accreditation mandates and professional nursing practice standards include patient education as an important activity to be performed in the delivery of high-quality care. For nurses to fulfill the role of teacher to patients and their family members, they must have a strong foundation in the principles of teaching and learning. The nurse must act as a facilitator, creating situations that motivate individuals to want to learn and that allow them to learn (Bastable, 2006).
