Sumario: | Whiteboards are ubiquitous fixtures in hospital rooms that may represent a ready-made patient engagement tool; yet, their use has only been minimally explored. This study examined the relationship between a standardized whiteboard communication process and patient activation by using the Patient Activation Measure (PAM(®)). Participants (N = 172) that were optimally involved in whiteboard communication had significantly higher PAM(®) scores compared to those who were suboptimally involved. PAM(®) scores also correlated with self-reported role, with those endorsing active participation scoring higher than passive listeners. Accordingly, this study establishes a positive association between the structured use of whiteboards and patient activation. |
