Effect of Training Nurses in ICU in Immediate Care Post Cardiac Surgery ()
ABSTRACT
The specialty of cardiovascular surgical nursing has advanced patient
care significantly both before and after surgery, and it is now a
well-established field. The primary goal of cardiovascular surgical nursing is
to optimize the patient's recovery and prevent complications. Immediate nursing
care for post-operative cardiac patients in a state of controlled shock due to
fluid shift and varying vascular tone. Aim of the Study: Assessment of
nurse’s knowledge and performance after the training program of nursing care
immediately after a patient arrives from cardiac surgery. Methods: This
pre and post-intervention study was conducted at cardiac centers in Sudan
Alshaab and Ahmed Gasim Cardiac Center. The aim of the study was to evaluate
the impact on nurses’ performance after training program post open-heart
surgery. In the initial phase of the study, all 98 nurses working in the
intensive care units at Alshaab and Ahmed Gasim cardiac centers were designated
as the study group and evaluated before the intervention. Subsequently, the
same group was reassessed after the intervention (phase 2), allowing
for a comparison of the pre- and post-intervention results. The assessment
involved the use of a specifically designed questionnaire and an observation
checklist developed in accordance with the standards recommended by the
American Nurses Association (phase 3). Result: Descriptive analysis was performed using the Chi-square test, the
difference in the performance between the study group before intervention and
after the intervention was assessed by the mean of chi-square significantly was
taken as p < 0.05.
