ADEA respondents spent 50% of their day on client education; 20% on administration; and 30% equally distributed between research, quality improvement, staff education and other duties. Barriers to effective teaching and learning were a lack of time, resources and issues associated with bedside teaching. Text responses indicated the desire to provide individualised, culturally, age and gender specific education. The majority of respondents (range 99.1%\u201195.5%, p=0.000) reported that providing education that allowed informed choices; helping clients learn from their choices and decisions; collaboratively writing goals and objectives; developing specific and tailored education programmes; teaching in a way that matched the clients\u2019 experiences; using interpreters; and involving families or significant others, were important.<br \/>\nConclusion: Respondents were aware of the teaching and learning needs of their clients. However strategies to address barriers to effective teaching and learning and the need to maintain advanced skills and knowledge in the context of continuously changing practice and client demographics need to be considered.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Pauline Hill<\/li>\n<li>Robyn Clark<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>diabetes, teaching, learning, education<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: The Australian diabetes educators\u2019 skills and readiness for the tsunami of diabetes in the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[4187],"class_list":["post-7730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-diabetes","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
