Effect of Training Module on the Clinical Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Peripheral Balloon Angioplasty and Stent Placement

ackground: Endovascular revascularization is a less invasive alternative procedureand is linked to fewer complications during the procedure, Alleviate pain and enhancesblood flow to the limb to preserve the leg, enhance quality of life. Aim: - aimed toassess the impact of a training module on the clinical outcomes of patients undergoingperipheral balloon angioplasty and stent placement. Subjects and method: A quasi-experimental research design was used to collect data from Vascular Department andoutpatient's At Main Tanta University Hospital. Sample: A non-probability sampling.of (60) adult patients undergoing peripheral balloon angioplasty and stent placement inthe aforementioned setting, Tools: Four tools were utilized for data collection; Tool(I): Structured Interview about peripheral balloon angioplasty and stent placementQuestionnaire. Tool (II): Lower Extremity Functional Scale, Tool (III): ThePeripheral Artery Questionnaire Tool (IV): Post peripheral balloon angioplasty andstent placement Clinical Outcomes Assessment Tool. Results: As a result of this study,it was determined that all (100%) of the patients initially had a poor level ofknowledge, which significantly improved to 100% after the training module wasimplemented. Additionally, after four weeks, 53.33% of patients had no difficultyaccording to the LEFS, and there was an improvement in PAD symptoms as P value=(0.000). Ultimately, the clinical outcomes for patients improved. In conclusion, thestudy demonstrated a significant enhancement in patient knowledge about peripheralballoon angioplasty and stent placement, LEFS, PAD symptoms, and overall clinicaloutcomes following the implementation of the training module. Recommendation:development of a training module as a standard part of nursing care for all patientsundergoing peripheral angiography procedures.
