A Study to Assess Effectiveness of Planned Teaching Program on the Knowledge and Practice Regarding Management of Early Warning Signs of Myocardial Infarction among High-risk Patient from Selected Hospital of Metropolitan City

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a planned educational program on high-risk patients’ knowledge and practice of managing early warning signals of myocardial infarction (MI) at a selected metropolitan city hospital. This study employed “Quantitative (Descriptive evaluatory) research approach.” One group is included in this study’s pre-test–post-test design. Selected metropolitan hospital patients at high risk of MI were studied. This study includes high-risk MI patients. Purposive, non-probability sampling was employed in this investigation. The study included 60 patients in its sample size: -test value of 0.52 for (age), with a significance score of P = 0.603. Pre-test scores and age are not substantially associated since t = 0.52 is <2.0017. The gender variable produced a t-test of 0.48 and P = 0.63. Gender-pre-test score association is not significant since t = 0.48 is <2.0017. Education level had a 0.94 t-test and P = 0.34 significance score. Since t = 0.94 is <2.0017, education level does not affect pre-test scores. The family type variable gets a 2.003 t-test and P = 0.049 significance score. T value 2.003 exceeds table value 2.0017, showing a strong family type-pre-test score connection. This study found substantial differences in awareness of early warning indicators and immediate MI therapy before and after organized education. MI knowledge improved dramatically with organized education. This showed that planned teaching reduces disease risk. Thus, nurses must educate such patients to prevent MI incidence and sequelae.
