Abstract
Background: Cardiac catheterization is diagnostic and therapeutic therapy for cardiac diseases but has potential complications that could affect the life of the concerned patient. These complications need early identification and to prevent issues of inequality with regard to standardized care policies, qualified staff is required.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the present knowledge and practice of the nurses in the selected hospitals of Khartoum State regarding the post-cardiac catheterization care in the year 2023. It also aims to establish what affects their knowledge and practice in Cardiac wards and ICUs.
Method: Cross-sectional quantitative study was carried out in Omdurman, Elshab and Ahmed Gasim Hospitals from October 2022 to March 2023. Quantitative data was obtained from a structured questionnaire while the data analysis was made using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26.0.
Results: 17(37.8%) participants had unsatisfactory knowledge and practice, and about 30 (66.7%) were satisfied regarding patient care after cardiac catheterization. About 35% of participants had low awareness and experience.
Conclusion: Nurses’ knowledge needs frequent replenishment, and, thus, it is suggested to implement training more often to address the topic of the post-cardiac catheterization care.
