Abstract

Background: Post-cardiac catheterization care requires a highly experienced and qualified healthcare provider to achieve the best management outcomes. Aim: the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of implementing nursing care standards training sessions on critical care nurses' practice post-cardiac catheterization. Method: A quasi-experimental one-group (pre-post-test) design was used on 24 nurses at an Intensive Coronary Care Unit (ICCU) allocated to an Egyptian university hospital. Tool: Data were collected using one tool: Nurses' Practice of Post-Cardiac Catheterization Care Tool. Results: Nurses' practice scores significantly improved after the training sessions compared with pre-training (P <0.001). Conclusion: Implementing nursing standards training sessions for critical care nurses can enhance their practice of cardiac catheterization care. Recommendations: ongoing in-service training programs for critical care nurses can improve the care of patients' post-cardiac catheterization. Further investigation is required to investigate the effect of applying standard domains in different settings with a focus on extended-term outcomes.
