This study employed a quasi-experimental research design using a one-group pretest–posttest design. The objectives were to compare patients’ knowledge of self-care after cardiac catheterization before and after participating in an educational programme and to evaluate their satisfaction with the programme. The sample consisted of 30 patients who underwent cardiac catheterization, selected through simple random sampling. The research instruments included a demographic data record form, a self-care knowledge questionnaire after cardiac catheterization, and a satisfaction questionnaire regarding the educational programme. Data were collected before participation in the programme and four weeks after completion of the programme. Descriptive statistics and paired t-test were used for data analysis.
The results revealed that before participating in the programme, the participants had a low level of knowledge regarding self-care (Mean = 8.10, SD = 2.40). After completing the programme, the level of knowledge increased to a high level (Mean = 13.30, SD = 1.40). A comparison of pretest and posttest scores indicated that the posttest scores were significantly higher than the pretest scores (t (29) = 9.49, p < .001). In addition, the participants reported a high level of satisfaction with the programme (overall Mean = 4.65, SD = 0.44).
The findings suggest that the educational programme for discharge preparation effectively enhances patients’ knowledge and satisfaction among individuals undergoing cardiac catheterization. Therefore, the program should be promoted for implementation in clinical settings and further developed for use in nursing practice.
