Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of education timing on patient satisfaction and perceived knowledge comprehension of recovery instructions in cardiac catheterization patients.
Design
This prospective quasi-experimental single-blinded study was blinded to the participant.
Methods
This study was conducted between January and August 2022 in the cardiac catheterization laboratory of a New York metropolitan community hospital. Seventy-seven cardiac catheterization participants were randomized into two groups. The intervention group (n = 40) received instructions preprocedurally, while the control group (n = 37) received instructions per standard of care postprocedurally. The study team designed a nine-question satisfaction and perceived comprehension survey, which was used as the primary data collection tool. Data were collected through telephone interviews conducted 24 to 48 hours postprocedure. Chi-square (χ2) analysis was used to determine associations between the two groups.
Findings
Results revealed the participants in the intervention group (97.5%, n = 39) were more satisfied than those in the control group (83.8%, n = 31). Satisfaction with instructions about managing arterial bleeding was higher in the intervention group (100%, n = 40) than in the control group (83.8%, n = 31). There was a statistically significant difference in perceived comprehension of management of arterial bleeding (χ2 = 5.22, P < .05) and management difficulty urinating (χ2 = 5.69, P < .05), where the intervention group scored significantly higher than the control group. Major feedback from participants included recommendations to enhance written instructions for clarity.
Conclusions
Delivering instructions preprocedurally compared to the standard of care revealed higher patient satisfaction and perceived comprehension of recovery instructions in cardiac catheterization patients. This study demonstrates how clinical nurses can translate nursing research into patient-centered outcomes, bridging research and practice gaps.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing provides original, peer-reviewed research for a primary audience that includes nurses in perianesthesia settings, including ambulatory surgery, preadmission testing, postanesthesia care (Phases I and II), extended observation, and pain management. The Journal provides a forum for sharing professional knowledge and experience relating to management, ethics, legislation, research, and other aspects of perianesthesia nursing.
