Purpose
This study was conducted to confirm the effect of providing video-program-related information on coronary disease to patients undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) on anxiety, vital signs, pain, and knowledge level related to coronary disease. Methods: A quasi-experimental design of nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest was used. The subjects of this study were 60 coronary heart disease patients hospitalized in the heart treatment center for Video educational Program (VP)-PCI (30 in the experimental group, 30 in the control group) in a general hospital in Gyeonggido Province. Data were collected from May 10 to November 30, 2019. Subjects of the experimental group were provided common nursing care and viewed a video education program before the PCI. The control group was provided common nursing care before the PCI. The data were analyzed via the χ² test, independent t-test, and repeated measured ANOVA through the SPSS 23.0 program. Results: There were significant differences in the pain of the puncture site (F=6.83, p=.011) and knowledge related to coronary disease (F=89.94, p<.001) between the experimental group and the control group. Conclusion: Based on the findings, this study suggested that the nursing education program related to knowledge of coronary disease provided by tablet PC to PCI patients was effective to decrease the perception of pain and enhance levels of knowledge related to coronary disease. Therefore, the result is useful in nursing practice and should be utilized as a tool of nursing intervention to improve the knowledge of coronary disease patients.
