Overview

May encourage self-efficacy interventions post-PTCA in low-resource settings; randomized trials needed before practice change.

Key Points

  • The study aims to assess the impact of a nurse-led self-care management program on cardiac self-efficacy and health-related quality of life in post-PTCA patients.
  • 40 post-PTCA patients were randomized into experimental and control groups.
  • The intervention included structured discharge teaching, tailored video, and telephonic follow-ups targeting five health behaviors.
  • Outcomes were measured using the Sullivan cardiac self-efficacy scale and Mac New Health-Related Quality of Life questionnaire at multiple intervals post-intervention.
  • Significant increase in cardiac self-efficacy scores in the experimental group compared to control (p<0.05).
  • All domains of health-related quality of life improved significantly post-intervention in the experimental group (p<0.05).
  • Both groups were similar in demographics, with 65% male and average age differences between groups of 2.9 years.

Structured PICO

Does a nurse-led self-care management programme improve cardiac self-efficacy and health-related quality of life in post-PTCA patients?

P
Population
40 post-PTCA patients, excluding those with other chronic diseases or cognitive impairment, followed for 30 days.
I
Intervention
Nurse-led self-care management programme consisting of structured discharge teaching, tailored video, and telephonic follow-up on days 7 and 12, targeting smoking cessation, a heart-healthy diet, physical activity, medication adherence, and stress management.
C
Comparator
Control group
O
Outcome
Cardiac self-efficacy (measured by 5-point Sullivan cardiac self-efficacy scale) and health-related quality of life (measured by Mac New Health-Related Quality of Life questionnaire) at 15th and 30th days after the intervention.patient reported

Main Result

p-value: p=<0.05

A nurse-led self-care management program significantly improves cardiac self-efficacy and health-related quality of life in patients following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

Cite This Study

Patidar et al. (2026) conducted an RCT in Post-percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) (n=40). Nurse-led self-care management programme vs. Control group was evaluated on Cardiac self-efficacy (CSE) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) (p=<0.05). A nurse-led self-care management program significantly increased cardiac self-efficacy and health-related quality of life in post-PTCA patients compared to the control group (p < 0.05).
