- Abstract
Heart diseases can be diagnosed and evaluated using cardiac catheterization, which requires standardized policies of care. Cardiac catheterization needs qualified and skilled healthcare providers for excellent management outcomes. The current study aims to assess the nurses’ knowledge of patient care after cardiac catheterization. The descriptive cross-sectional study was designed—the study sample consists of (110). The study setting is in Mosul Hospital. Data were collected for the period (20th February 2019) to (22th March 2019). A questionnaire depends on the interview style; the survey designed to achieve the study’s objective consisted of three parts: the first content was demographic information (6 items). The second part includes the general knowledge of nurses about cardiac catheterization (10 items). The third part consists of the skill of the cardiac catheterization nurse(18 items). A descriptive statistical approach and an inferential analytical approach are used to analyze the data. The results showed that (56.4%) males, females (43.6%) were in the age of (25-29) years, most of the nurses had an experience of 1-5 years. The study showed a statistically significant relationship between the age of the nurse and their knowledge of the complications of cardiac catheterization (P=0.05). There is no statistically significant relationship between the gender of the nurses, education level, years of service in the nursing field, and experience. The study concluded that the sample percentage is high, and the result was is not acceptable for the level of knowledge regarding cardiac catheterization risk factors. The study recommended that nurses participate in training courses to improve nursing care provided to the patient and his family during cardiac catheterization.
