Abstract
  • The doctoral capstone experience (DCE) examined the impact of a health literacy intervention on compliance with hand therapy protocols. The intervention took place at three Athletico locations in the Midwest. Therapists disseminated health literacy materials to patients along with a pretest and posttest to compare compliance with attendance, orthosis wear, and home exercise programs (HEPs). Patients were able to provide feedback on the intervention with a satisfaction survey. Overall, the participants were very compliant and results on compliance were mixed, with attendance decreasing by 5%, orthosis wear increasing by 10%, and HEPs remaining unchanged. All the participants found the handouts easy to read and helpful, recommending continued dissemination to patients. The high level of satisfaction is an important outcome, indicating value in a client-centered practice such as Athletico. Moving forward, a more robust study would be helpful to develop a correlation between health literacy, satisfaction, and compliance.
