The effect of electronic video training and preangiography nursing education on anxiety and physiological parameters of patients undergoing coronary angiography.

BACKGROUND

Noncommunicable diseases include cardiovascular diseases. One of the methods that is used as a definitive standard method for diagnosing coronary artery disease is angiography. One of the complications of angiography is anxiety. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of electronic video training and preangiography nursing education on anxiety and physiological parameters of patients undergoing coronary angiography.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

This quasiexperimental study was performed on 60 patients undergoing coronary angiography in two groups of educational hospital of Shahrekord in 2020. Conventional sampling was performed, and samples were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. Electronic video teaching method and nursing education were performed in the intervention group. Data collected and compared using demographic and Spielberger anxiety questionnaire and measuring physiological parameters. The data were analyzed using SPSS 21 with descriptive analytic tests.

RESULTS

The results of this study showed that after intervention, the variables of blood pressure, respiration rate, and heart rate were significantly different in the intervention and control groups (P </001). In addition, the comparison of anxiety levels in two groups after intervention showed that patients in the intervention group have less covert and overt anxiety compared to the control group (P </001).

CONCLUSION

Both electronic video training and preangiography nursing education indicate positive effects on anxiety of patients before angiography; therefore, these interventions are recommended to improve quality of nursing care and patient education before angiography.
