Objective: A literature review was conducted to identify available evidence on the use of multimedia patient educational interventions on anticoagulation therapy.

Methods: A literature search was conducted on 9/4/2020 via six research databases. Publications that evaluated the effects of these interventions on anticoagulation therapy were included.

Results: The review included ten original research studies (five randomized controlled trials, four observational studies and a pre- and post-interventional study), a systematic review and meta-analysis, three systematic reviews, a scoping review, and a literature review. Multimedia interventions significantly improved knowledge after education, but no significant differences found when compared to traditional methods. There was insufficient evidence to conclude whether knowledge retained over time. Patients were equally satisfied with both methods. Multimedia interventions significantly reduced healthcare professional's time required for education. Heterogeneity in intervention, methodology and results limited comparison and combination of findings across studies.

Conclusion: Multimedia patient educational interventions on anticoagulation therapy have similar outcomes to traditional methods in knowledge improvement and satisfaction, but they save health personnel time.

Practice Implications: There is lack of evidence to support the effectiveness of multimedia interventions in educating patients on anticoagulation therapy. Larger randomized studies evaluating their benefits in health outcomes and clinical practice are warranted.

Ex Situ pH-Induced Reversible Wettability Switching for an Environmentally Robust and High-Efficiency Stain-Proof Coating.

Small Methods

December 2024

The Collaborative Innovation Center for Eco-Friendly and Fire-Safety Polymeric Materials (MoE), National Engineering Laboratory of Eco-Friendly Polymeric Materials (Sichuan), State Key Laboratory of Polymer Materials Engineering, College of Chemistry, Sichuan University, Chengdu, 610064, China.

Developing superwetting coatings with environmental adaptability is critical for sustainable industrial applications. However, traditional anti-wetting coatings often fall short due to their susceptibility to environmental factors (UV light, temperature, mold growth, and abrasion) and inadequate stain resistance in complex media. Herein, a durable ex situ pH-responsive coating with reversible wettability switching, engineered by integrating hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane and tertiary amine structures is presented.

Background: The quality of Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillations (AED) treatment provided by individual practitioners is the most important factor in surviving an in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA); therefore, healthcare professionals (HCPs) require sufficient resuscitation competency. This study aimed to analyze the effects of a blended team-based CPR and AED simulation training (riAniMO program) on HCPs performance, satisfaction and perception on transferability, and costs.

Methods: The riAniMO is based on a multimedia training program with video lessons and a virtual CPR resuscitation simulation, and a team-based CPR and AED simulation.
