INTRODUCTION: The contemporary health care system is increasingly becoming more responsive to the needs of patients and their families. Patients and family members have priority in decision-making. The family witnessed resuscitation refers to offering the option to a family member to remain present at their loved ones during the resuscitation. Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of educational sessions on the knowledge, attitudes, and experiences of nurses about family-resuscitation witnessed. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A quasi-experimental study was conducted in Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The study was carried out over six months. In total, 31 participants were recruited in the study using a convenient sampling technique. Data were collected using a standard questionnaire. Sessions were conducted to educate nurses on resuscitation witnessed by the family. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 29.77 years. More than half (51.6%) of the participants were male. There was a significant difference between pre- and post-intervention knowledge (P=0.000), attitude (P=0.000), and experience (P = 0.000). There was also a positive association of knowledge with educational level (P=0.02), experience (P=0.001), and job position (P=0.001). Similarly, the attitude of the participants was also associated with experience (P=0.000) and education status (P=0.002). Additionally, the experience of the participants was also associated with education status (P=0.01) and Job Position (P=0.000). CONCLUSIONS: Educational interventions have a significant effect on the knowledge, attitude and experiences of nurses toward family witness resuscitation.

INTRODUCTION: : Coronary artery disease (CAD) leads to mortality and morbidity globally. Approximately, 18 million deaths occurred due to cardiovascular diseases. Objective: To determine the association between knowledge about coronary angiography and anxiety level among patients undergoing coronary angiography. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in two major public-sector hospitals between September 2017 to March 2018. A total of 264 patients were recruited in the study Rusing a non-probability convenience sampling technique. A modified questionnaire about coronary angiography was distributed among participants and the HADS scale was used to assess the anxiety level of the participants. SPSS version 22 was used for data analysis. RESULTS: The mean knowledge score of the participants about angiography was 17.88 ± 4.047. The total knowledge score of both hospitals was good knowledge (6%), fair knowledge (42%) and had poor knowledge (52%). Regarding anxiety level, the participants of both hospitals experienced a high level of anxiety i.e. mild (20%), moderate (34%) & sever (10%). A significant association was found between knowledge and anxiety levels among the participants of both hospitals with a p-value of <0.001. CONCLUSIONS:This study found a significant association between patient’s knowledge about coronary angiography and anxiety level among patients undergoing coronary angiography. The study puts forwards that nurses shall assess the patient’s knowledge before coronary angiography procedure. The provision of accurate knowledge renders categorical purpose to this procedure for salubrious patients’ outcomes.

WSTĘP: Choroba wieńcowa (CAD) prowadzi do śmiertelności i zachorowalności na całym świecie. Około 18 milionów zgonów miało miejsce z powodu chorób układu krążenia. Cel: Określenie związku między wiedzą na temat koronarografii a poziomem lęku wśród pacjentów poddawanych koronarografii. MATERIAŁ I METODY: Przekrojowe badanie analityczne przeprowadzono w dwóch głównych szpitalach sektora publicznego w okresie od września 2017 r. do marca 2018 r. Do badania zrekrutowano łącznie 264 pacjentów, stosując dogodną technikę próbkowania bez prawdopodobieństwa. Uczestnikom rozprowadzono zmodyfikowany kwestionariusz dotyczący koronarografii, a do oceny poziomu lęku wykorzystano skalę HADS. Do analizy danych wykorzystano SPSS w wersji 22. WYNIKI: Średni wynik wiedzy uczestników na temat angiografii wyniósł 17,88 ± 4,047. Całkowity wynik wiedzy obu szpitali to bardzo dobra wiedza (6%), dobra wiedza (42%) i słaba wiedza (52%). Jeśli chodzi o poziom lęku, uczestnicy obu szpitali doświadczyli wysokiego poziomu lęku, tj. łagodnego (20%), umiarkowanego (34%) i silnego (10%). Stwierdzono istotny związek między wiedzą a poziomem lęku wśród uczestników obu szpitali z wartością p <0,001. WNIOSKI: Badanie wykazało istotny związek między wiedzą pacjentów na temat koronarografii, a poziomem lęku wśród pacjentów poddawanych koronarografii. W badaniu postuluje się, aby pielęgniarki oceniały wiedzę pacjenta przed wykonaniem koronarografii. Dostarczenie dokładnej wiedzy nadaje kategoryczny cel tej procedurze dla zdrowych wyników pacjentów.
