Determination of learning requirements for the discharge period of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

This thesis study was planned and implemented as a single-center and cross-sectional study to determine the learning needs of patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention regarding the discharge period and the fulfillment of these needs. The sample of the study consisted of 121 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention in a city hospital in Istanbul and were planned to be discharged. Data were collected with the Patient Information Form and Patient Learning Needs Scale created by the researcher. The scale is statistically; It was tested with Kolmogorov-Simirnov test, Mann Whitney U test, Spearman Correlation analysis. The mean total score of the scale was found to be 169,31±24,42. The relationships between patient learning needs and meeting the needs scale sub-dimension correlations include ''drugs'', ''life activities'', ''society and follow-up'', ''emotions related to the situation'', ''treatment and complications'',' It was found to be highly significant in a positive way with the sub-dimensions 'quality of life', 'skin care' and 'total score' (p<0,001); The sub-dimensions of meeting the needs of married individuals such as "society and follow-up", "emotions related to the situation" and "quality of life" are significant (p<0,05); The "medication" sub-dimension of meeting the needs of individuals with diabetes was significant (p<0,05); Individuals whose family or caregivers are not included in discharge training; "life activities"; "emotions related to the situation"; "treatment and complications"; The "skin care" and "total score" sub-dimensions were found to be highly significant (p<0,01). The patients had slightly above average educational needs, and the highest educational need was found in the "treatment and complications" sub-dimension (mean=31,55±4,54; importance level=3,50); The lowest education need importance level is in the "society and follow-up" sub-dimension (mean=18,41±2,54; importance level=3,06), and the least met education need is "quality of life" with a rate of 64,9%, In this regard, it can be suggested that education should be provided regarding the discharge education of patients/family members who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention, focusing on the relevant items.
