Patient Education Deficits and Medication Knowledge Gaps Among Post-Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study of Communication Quality and Adherence in Saudi Cardiac Care
: Significant gaps in medication education and patient-provider communication exist within Saudi cardiac care settings. These deficits represent potentially modifiable targets for nursing intervention. Structured, nurse-led educational protocols addressing medication purpose, side effects, and administration could be evaluated as strategies to enhance patient understanding and support antiplatelet adherence.
