intervention regarding pre and post angiography care.
Methodology: A quasi experimental study was conducted at Faisalabad Institute of Cardiology
in June to September 2021 on 40 female nurses via a convenient sampling
technique used for data collection.16 weeks of planned sessions completed and
each individual was facilitated with 16 hours learning hour’s organized in
morning and evening shifts according to the participant’s availability. Relatively,
pre and post intervention sessions were organized for four months.
Results: The results of present interventional program showed a remarkable
impact on nurses’ knowledge related to pre and post angiography care. The
pre-score was inadequate regarding pre and post angiography care of the
participants on the other hand, there was an improvement after 16 weeks of
interventional lecture session in the nurses knowledge scores 97.5% (p≤0.00),
SD= related to pre and post angiography care.
Conclusion: The present study showed that there was a great impact on nurses’
knowledge scores after interventional lecture sessions regarding pre and
