Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the level and the predictors of coronary artery disease knowledge among university nursing students in the north of Jordan. A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used to determine the CAD knowledge for a convenient sample of 470 nursing students. The results showed that the mean of the CAD knowledge was (M=10.20, SD=7.54). The total regression model significantly F (9, 460)= 9.12; P<0.001 explained 60% of the variance in CAD knowledge. Grade Point Average, educational level and income significantly explained 25%, 19% and 16% of the variance in the knowledge respectively. More interventional studies and specific educational programmes should be adopted in nursing curriculum in Jordanian universities to enhance nursing students’ CAD knowledge.
