ABSTRACT
Patients who were taught about their health problems while waiting in the clinic (n = 104) were significantly more satisfied with the education received during that visit than the control group (n = 101). The longer patients waited in the clinic to see their providers, the less satisfied they were with the clinic visit.

ABSTRACT
Teaching should be part of every patient's health care. Even though this study did not show that teaching improves patient satisfaction with the clinic visit, it did indicate that subjects who were taught by the nurse were more satisfied with the education received during that visit.$
