Abstract: To develop a re‐education program for elderly patients undergoing radiation therapy based on the Skinnerian teaching model, with the aim of improving their adaptability and quality of life. Through Skinnerian teaching principles, from January 1, 2023 to April 3, 2024, an analysis of the educational needs of elderly patients was conducted to establish the educational content and program. Through the Delphi method, 55 experts were invited to optimize the program, and 54 patients were piloted. The recall rates for the two rounds of counseling were 100% and 97.26%, and the indicator importance scores and Kendall's coefficients of concordance indicated the consistency and reliability of the program. The program was combined with online and offline instruction for 30 min at a time, with frequency adjusted according to content. The program was scientific and reliable, with easy‐to‐understand content and a variety of formats that met the laws of memorization and effectively assessed the educational process and outcomes.
