Effectiveness of Information Brochure Regarding Post Procedure Care on Knowledge and Anxiety among Patients Undergoing Coronary Angioplasty at Cath Ward, Lari Cardiology Center KGMU Lucknow

Background Coronary artery disease should now be considered an important public health problem characterized by changing lifestyles, casualty and attributes. The most common cause of these diseases is atherosclerotic plaque. Most of the people are unaware of these conditions due to lack of knowledge and their level of anxiety may be increased. Angioplasty is a surgical technique to open a blocked coronary artery. Objectives 1. To assess the knowledge and anxiety regarding post procedural care of angioplasty among patients undergoing coronary angioplasty before the intervention.2. To compare the knowledge and anxiety regarding post procedural care of angioplasty among patients undergoing coronary angioplasty before the intervention. 3. To assess the knowledge and anxiety regarding post procedural care of angioplasty among patients undergoing coronary angioplasty after the intervention. 4. To compare the knowledge and anxiety regarding post procedural care of angioplasty among patients undergoing coronary angioplasty after the intervention. Method In this study the research approach was quasi experimental two group pre test and post test design was applied. Total 90 samples selected by purposive sampling technique 45 in each group . The intervention was structured information brochure was introduced to the study group just before angioplasty and for control group hospital routines were followed. Knowledge was assessed by structured questionnaire and anxiety level assessed by modified Speilberger’s anxiety assessment tool before and after the intervention. Results It is observed that the statistical t value 1.24 is less than the critical value 1.99 which accepts the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference in knowledge between group. For anxiety it is observed that the statistical t value 0.61 is less than the critical value 1.99 which accepts the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference in anxiety between groups. But it was observed that after the intervention there was significant change in level of knowledge as statistical t value 3.65 was more than the critical value 2.015 which rejects the null hypothesis and accepts the research hypothesis and it was also effective on reducing anxiety in study group after intervention statistical t value 3.72 was more than the critical value 2.01 which rejects the null hypothesis and accepts the research hypothesis. Conclusion The study concluded that, structured information brochure is an effective way to improve the knowledge and reduce the anxiety among the patient planned for angioplasty. The study recommended that structured information brochure about the post procedural care about the angioplasty should be implemented to improve the knowledge and reduce the anxiety among the patient for providing a better care.
