After-class consultation and reinforcement
A trained nurse with 10 years of urological experience served as the intervenor. The primary tasks of the intervenor included: (1) addressing the participants’ questions and concerns regarding the multimedia information content; (2) encouraging the participants to apply the skills they learned in the courses to their daily life (an after-class task); (3) understanding the participants’ experiences and difficulties in applying the skills they learned and providing timely clarification; (4) discussing the previous week’s after-class task; and (5) recording the participants’ questions about Tasks 1, 3, and 4. The patients and cohabitants were guided by the intervenor to complete this activity using the following questions: Do you have any questions about the multimedia information this week? How did the after-class tasks go last week? How was the patient’s health condition last week? Did the patient experience any physical or mental discomfort? How did you deal with it? Were there any problems with self-care?
