Background: Diseases affecting heart have become predominant in our country. Cardiac surgeries are performed in cases where medical management alone does not suffice for the treatment. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery can have various concerns and expectations. Pre-operative education can help them clarify doubts and misconceptions, which would in turn aid in faster recovery and better satisfaction.
Aim: The goal of this study was to ascertain the effect of pre-operative video-assisted teaching on satisfaction of patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Methods: Quasi experimental design was adopted for the study which included forty cardiac surgery patients. Patients satisfying the inclusion criteria were allocated randomly to intervention and control groups. Pre-operative video-assisted teaching program was provided to patients in the intervention group before surgery. Control group received only routine instructions from the hospital. Patient satisfaction was assessed on discharge using the Patient Satisfaction with Nursing Care Quality Questionnaire (PSNCQQ). The SPSS software version 20 was employed for data analysis. Independent t test was applied for inter-group comparison.
Results: The patient satisfaction mean scores for the intervention and control groups were 107.35 (1.14) and 48.37 (5.14), respectively. The intervention group's patient satisfaction levels were noticeably higher in comparison to the other group.
Conclusion: Results revealed that video-assisted teaching program could improve the levels of satisfaction among patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Educating the patients and clarifying their doubts through regular communication by nurses while delivering quality care can make a huge impact.
