greater than now. The current trend toward shorter hospital stay and
decreased time for healthcare professional patient interactions have
increased the need for effective patient teaching. Also more of the
chronically ill patients are at home in need of nursing assistance from
their families, friends and volunteers. Such patients and their families

client health and well being and reduce the demand for professional
services (Taylor, Lillis, Lemore, 2007). Nurses assume the role of
teacher when clients have identifiable learning needs. The teacher
learner relationship is enhanced by the continuance of the helping
