Abstract

Introduction: The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a vital circulatory support device used for critically ill patients with heart disease. Due to its extensive application, it is essential for nurses to have a thorough understanding of IABP management and patient care. This study aims to assess the impact of nurse-led interventions on improving nursing officers’ knowledge and skills in the care of patients with IABPs in a tertiary care hospital setting. Materials and Methods: A randomized controlled trial involving 64 participants was conducted employing a true experi-mental design with a Pre-test-post-test control group. Participants were randomly assigned to either the Experimental or Control group using a coin-flipping method. In the Experimental group, partici-pants received a 60-minutePowerPoint-based lecture cum discussion session specifically focused on IABP care. Preand post-intervention knowledge data were collected using a self-structured ques-tionnaire from both groups. Data analysis involved paired and unpaired t-tests to compare knowledge scores within and between groups. Results: The findings reveal that out of 64 participants, 16(26.6%) had very low knowledge, 26(43.3%) had low knowledge, 18(30%) had average knowledge and none 0(0%) had high knowledge in pre-test. Post intervention, the mean knowledge score increased from 52.67 (pre-test) to 87.33 (post-test) in the Experimental group whereas the mean knowledgescore was slightly increased from 46.53 (pre-test) to 49.20 (post-test) in the Control group Conclusion: This study provides direct evidence supporting the effectiveness of nurseled interventions in enhancing nursing officers’ knowledge regarding the care of patients with Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps.
