1. What did we learn?

The lessons I learned from the past three days of health teaching RLE are:
A. The traditions, practices, and beliefs of the Ibaloy group towards copulation, pregnancy, child-bearing,
child-birth, and child-caring.
B. The principles of learning and education which are relevance, motivation, readiness, reinforcement,
participation, organization, and repetition.
C. Therapeutic communication, what it is, its relevance, and how to perform it.
D. Client education, its purpose, assumptions, and topics provided.
E. Teaching strategies for children.
F. Teaching strategies for adults.
G. Teaching strategies for people with special needs.
H. Learning barriers and domains.

2. So what?
A. Learning about the Ibaloy group cultivated my knowledge and awareness of the different beliefs and
practices that they perform. Having this knowledge would be a stepping stone in the provision of health
education and interventions to patients who belong in the Ibaloy group.
B. Learning about the principles of learning and education will give an idea to the nurse as to how he/she
would properly and sensitively perform the health education to provide thorough, complete, and
wholesome teaching. These principles would guide a nurse in his/her provision of health education to
ensure that the patient will adhere, understand, and instill the knowledge and skills the nurse imparted.
C. Therapeutic communication is very important to support the patient’s feeling of well-being. the patient
will feel the nurse’s care and understanding towards him/her and establish a good nurse-patient
relationship for the patient to be comfortable enough to voice out his feelings and concerns. Therapeutic
communication is important and required skill or technique to provide competent and empathic
psychological healthcare which can be taught through effective feedback.
D. Client education is a helpful topic for the nurse to bridge the gap between what a patient knows and
what a patient needs to know. Assumptions of client education will provide the nurse core values as to
how all person’s knowledge and learning works so that even before the assessment, he/she will have a
guide on the plan of teaching. The topics of health education are very useful for comprehensive planning
and implementation of health education.
E. Learning the teaching strategies for children should differ from different age groups because of age and
developmental factors. Learning the teaching strategies for teaching children will give the nurse an idea
of the children’s characteristics, topics to teach, and how to teach them according to their age and
development. Having this knowledge will boost the teaching-learning process because it guides the nurse
on the proper techniques, do’s, and don’ts of teaching children.
F. Learning the teaching strategies for adult differ from different age groups. Learning the teaching
strategies of adults will give the nurse a prior knowledge of how to deal with different adults, what topics
to discuss, and some special considerations that a nurse should take to ensure quality patient teaching.
Learning this will provide the nurse with a guide on his/her teaching plan.
G. Learning how the teaching strategies for people with special needs will guide the nurse in the proper
ways, techniques, do’s, and don’ts on the provision of health education to patients with special needs.
Learning this will make the teaching process more comprehensive and sensitive towards the different
needs of the client. Having such knowledge will ensure that even though the patient is incapacitated, with
special education the patient will and still can learn.
H. Learning the barriers of education can be very helpful for the nurse to anticipate and prepare for future
teachings. Having to learn the barriers of teaching would give the nurse a head start to try and come up
with a solution to break these barriers to ensure quality patient teaching. The domains are also important
to know because it would help the nurse provide comprehensive and deeper planning and intervention for
the client.

3. Now what?
A. Having to learn the Ibaloy culture, I can use this knowledge in my future Ibaloy client to provide a
culturally-sensitive intervention and teaching. This knowledge will help me to avoid discrimination and
insensitivity towards the Ibaloy culture.
B. I would use the principles of learning and education in my provision of health teaching to my family or
patients soon. I will use this knowledge in my future patient teachings so that it would be more effective
and easier for me.
C. As a future nurse therapeutic communication is very important so that I could ensure that the way I
talk to my patients and family is in an empathetic and caring way to promote a better relationship. I could
also use this for me to build rapport with my client and family for them to be more open to me and would
promote their psychological state.
D. I would use this knowledge on client education to educate my client about health promotion,
prevention of injury or disease, health restoration, and coping management. This knowledge would help
my patients and family by providing health education to help them achieve the best sate of health possible
through their actions.
E. I would use my knowledge of the strategies for teaching children once I will encounter one. This
knowledge would be helpful for me to plan and implement health teaching on children of different ages
and development. This would guide me in my planning and intervention phase on pediatric patients.
F. I would use my knowledge of the strategies for teaching adults once I will encounter one. This
knowledge would be helpful for me to plan and implement health teaching on adults of different ages and
development. This would guide me in my planning and intervention phase on adult patients.
G. I would use my knowledge of the strategies for teaching patients with special needs once I will
encounter one. This knowledge would be helpful for me to plan and implement health teaching on
patients with special needs of different ages and development. This would guide me in my planning and
intervention phase on patients with special needs.
H. The learning barriers would give me a heads up on different barriers that I could encounter soon so
that I could think of a way to break those barriers once I encounter them. I will use this knowledge to help
my patients and family without being insensitive.
