Educational Video Intervention Effects on Periprocedural Anxiety Levels Among Cardiac Catheterization Patients: A

Insights

An educational video significantly reduced anxiety in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization (CATH). This intervention offers a simple method to improve patient experience before heart procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Medical Education
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Cardiac catheterization (CATH) can induce significant periprocedural anxiety.
  • Anxiety is linked to the invasive nature of CATH and heart involvement.
  • Effective anxiety reduction strategies are crucial for patient well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate an educational video intervention for reducing anxiety in Jordanian patients undergoing CATH.
  • To assess the impact of video education on periprocedural anxiety levels.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial was conducted in a Jordanian heart institute.
  • 186 patients undergoing CATH were included.
  • Anxiety was measured using physiological parameters (BP, HR, RR) and the Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory (SAI).

Main Results:

  • The experimental group receiving video education showed significantly lower preprocedural anxiety (M = 39.03) compared to the control group (M = 49.34).
  • Postprocedural anxiety was also significantly lower in the experimental group (M = 29.18) versus the control group (M = 41.73).
  • Statistical significance (p < .001) was observed for both pre- and postprocedural anxiety levels.

Conclusions:

  • Educational video interventions can effectively decrease periprocedural anxiety in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization.
  • Video education serves as a valuable tool for managing patient anxiety before invasive cardiac procedures.
  • This approach may improve patient outcomes and procedural tolerance.

Cardiac Catheterization IV: Nursing Management

Nursing responsibilities before cardiac catheterization include:Assess for allergies and establish baseline health status.Before cardiac catheterization, assess the patient for allergies to contrast dye. Perform a comprehensive baseline assessment, including vital signs, heart and breath sounds, and a neurovascular assessment of the extremities, noting distal pulses, skin color, and temperature. Instruct the patient to fast for 8-12 hours before the procedure. Evaluate baseline laboratory...

Cardiac Catheterization I: Pre-Procedure Overview

Cardiac catheterization is an invasive diagnostic technique used to identify and evaluate structural and functional diseases of the heart and major blood vessels. This technique diagnoses congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and coronary spasms and assesses ventricular function. It helps guide treatment decisions, including the need for revascularization procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and...

Cardiomyopathy VII: Pre and Post Operative Nursing Management

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...
