Description
Summary:Highlights • Tablet -based instruction might be a supplement to enhance elderly patients to learn through elevating their self-efficacy. • The effect on self-efficacy did not last even if patients are assisted by our tablet computer application. More comprehensive interventions or “booster” lessons may be needed to maintain high self-efficacy. • Further research to clarify the best style of tablet computer-aided learning in older populations is needed.
