Background of the Study
Post-cardiac surgery care is critical to ensuring recovery and preventing complications. Nurses are often responsible for monitoring patients, administering treatments, and providing education to promote recovery. In Kaduna State, where healthcare resources may be limited, the effectiveness of nurses' knowledge and practice in managing post-cardiac surgery patients can have a significant impact on patient outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the level of nurses' knowledge and their adherence to best practices in managing these patients in Kaduna State hospitals.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the increasing number of cardiac surgeries being performed in hospitals, there are concerns about the adequacy of post-operative care provided by nurses. Inadequate knowledge and poor practices in managing post-cardiac surgery patients can lead to complications such as infections, thromboembolic events, and delayed recovery. Understanding the level of nurses' knowledge and practice is essential to improve patient outcomes and develop targeted interventions.
