Objective: To report two cases of utilizing the selftraining
handouts creation system gPattore !h (gPattore !h
hereinafter).
Methods: In two patients, handouts were created using
gPattore !h which is a system to compile self-training
menus tailored individually for each patient on paper.
The handouts were updated at appropriate timing, and the
time required for creation was measured. Each patient
made entries in the self-training record, and the therapist
confirmed the implementation status. A questionnaire on
patient satisfaction and self-efficacy was conducted
before discharge from hospital. The same procedures
were also conducted in a group of patients for whom the
handouts were developed without utilizing gPattore !h.
Results: The average time required to prepare the
handouts was shortened by using gPattore !h. Case 1
rated good patient satisfaction and self-efficacy, while
Case 2 was not able to achieve high self-efficacy. The
implementation rate was 100% for Case 1 and 85% for
Case 2.
Conclusion: Effective use of gPattore !h enhances the
quality of self-training and contributes to implementation
and continuation of training. Updating the handouts at
appropriate timing and feedback that allows patient to
perceive the exercise effect are expected to enhance
patient satisfaction and self-efficacy.
