Comparing the Effect of Flipped Teaching versus Multimedia-based Teaching on Postoperative Physical Activity in Patients Undergoing Open-Heart Surgery
Multimedia learning can be recommended for cardiopulmonary rehabilitation to reduce respiratory complications following open-heart surgery (OHS). Furthermore, flipped learning may reinforce the effects of education via further feedback.
This study aimed to compare the effects of flipped teaching versus multimedia-based teaching on postoperative physical activity in patients undergoing OHS.
This controlled randomized clinical trial was conducted on a total of 60 patients admitted to an intensive care unit and a cardiac-surgical ward in northeastern Iran in 2019. In the multimedia learning group, a tutorial video was displayed three times a day at different stages, namely preoperation, 1-2 days after the surgery, and 2-3 days postsurgery. The flipped learning group was also subjected to the same tutorial with the potential to be displayed on smartphones. Then, the 6-Clicks instrument was completed to assess the basic mobility function. The data were analyzed in the IBM SPSS Statistics software (version 25) using the Mann-Whitney U and Friedman tests.
The groups were homogenous in terms of demographic characteristics. The mean duration of physical activity was not significantly different in the study groups at the preoperative stage (P=0.87), 2 days postoperation (P=0.09), and 5-6 days after surgery (P=0.10). Based on the inter-group comparison, the mean score of physical activity was significantly different between the groups receiving flipped (P<0.001) and multimedia (P<0.001) learning.
The same as multimedia learning, flipped learning is able to improve physical activity in patients following OHS.
