| Abstract: Cardiac nurse is responsible for providing patient’s safety and minimizing vascular complications after cardiac catheterization procedure. Aim: To evaluate the outcome of teaching safety procedure program for nurses on patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. Design: A quasi-experimental. Setting: Outpatient Clinic and Catheter Lab. Sample: A purposive sample and included one hundred patients (study & control), all available nurses (24). Tools:1)- Patient's interviewing sheet including a)-Patient's characteristics b)- Patient's risk factors c)- Patient's adverse effects c)- Patient's care satisfaction and e)-Patient's anxiety II - Nurses' administered sheet including a) Demographic data b)- Level of nurses' knowledge, c)-Nurses' observation check list. Results: There were highly statistically significant differences as regards total score level of nurses' knowledge pre/post TSPP and during follow-up period as well, regarding total score level of nurses̕ practice .No statistically significant differences were found as regards risk factors in both groups pre the TSPP, and there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups related to the adverse effects post TSPP. As well, there were a highly statistically significant differences between the two groups regarding total score level of patients' care satisfaction and in relation to anxiety levels post TSPP. There were highly statistically significant differences between both groups in relation to length of hospital stay post TSPP. In addition there were statistically significant differences correlations between level of total nurses' knowledge and practices and total adverse effects. Conclusion: The nurses’ level of knowledge and practices significantly improved post the TSPP .The patients' care satisfaction significantly increased post the TSPP. Adverse effects of cardiac catheterization and the length of hospital stay significantly decreased after the TSPP. Recommendations: An orientation program should be available for newly appointed nurses and those assigned to care for patients undergoing cardiac procedure. | ||
