and is linked to fewer complications during the procedure, Alleviate pain and enhances
blood flow to the limb to preserve the leg, enhance quality of life. Aim: - aimed to
assess the impact of a training module on the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing
peripheral balloon angioplasty and stent placement. Subjects and method: A quasi-
experimental research design was used to collect data from Vascular Department and
outpatient's At Main Tanta University Hospital. Sample: A non-probability sampling.
of (60) adult patients undergoing peripheral balloon angioplasty and stent placement in
the aforementioned setting, Tools: Four tools were utilized for data collection; Tool
(I): Structured Interview about peripheral balloon angioplasty and stent placement
Questionnaire. Tool (II): Lower Extremity Functional Scale, Tool (III): The
Peripheral Artery Questionnaire Tool (IV): Post peripheral balloon angioplasty and
stent placement Clinical Outcomes Assessment Tool. Results: As a result of this study,
it was determined that all (100%) of the patients initially had a poor level of
knowledge, which significantly improved to 100% after the training module was
implemented. Additionally, after four weeks, 53.33% of patients had no difficulty
according to the LEFS, and there was an improvement in PAD symptoms as P value=
(0.000). Ultimately, the clinical outcomes for patients improved. In conclusion, the
study demonstrated a significant enhancement in patient knowledge about peripheral
balloon angioplasty and stent placement, LEFS, PAD symptoms, and overall clinical
outcomes following the implementation of the training module. Recommendation:
development of a training module as a standard part of nursing care for all patients
undergoing peripheral angiography procedures.
