Abstract
An education program was developed for geriatric patients with osteoarthritis utilizing adult learner methods. The format used was slide/tape with accompanying booklets. Sixty-seven patients were tested before, immediately after, and three weeks after viewing the programs. A change in knowledge was noted for all objectives and was statistically significant (P .05) in five of six objectives. Although initial production costs are substantial, duplication costs are minimal. These results suggest that geriatric patients with osteoarthritis are able to learn and the method used is a cost-effective one.
