Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Background: Cardiogenic shock is a critical syndrome leading to end-organ hypoperfusion and cardiac arrest. This quasi-experimental study evaluated the effect of astructured educational program on critical care nurses' performance and patient outcomes.Aim: Evaluate the Effectiveness of Implementing an Educational Program on CardiogenicShock on Nurses’ Performance and Patients’ Clinical Outcomes. Design and Setting: Aquasi-experimental research design was used to conduct this study. At the IntensiveCardiac Care Unit of Tanta International Teaching Hospital. Subjects and Method: Thestudy involved 40 nurses and 80 adult patients. Data were collected through three validatedresearch tools: Tool I: Demographic data and nurses' cardiogenic shock knowledgequestionnaire. Tool II: Practice observational checklist. Tool III: Patientsociodemographic and clinical/hemodynamic outcomes sheet. Results: Nurses' meanknowledge scores improved significantly from pre-program (26.28 ± 6.528) toimmediately post-program (73.50 ± 8.259). Scores slightly dropped at two months(60.73 ± 6.809), but remained significantly higher than baseline (𝑝 = 0.000). Satisfactorypractice levels increased dramatically from 17.5% pre-program (22.03 ± 14.177) to87.5% immediately post-program (59.43 ± 5.751), settling at 75.0% after two months(48.10 ± 5.022) (𝑝 = 0.000).Moreover the study group showed statistically significantimprovements in hemodynamic stability, reduced hypo perfusion signs, shorter ICU stays,and faster stabilization by days five and seven compared to the control group (𝑝 < 0.05).Conclusion & Recommendation: Implementing a structured cardiogenic shockeducational program significantly enhances nursing knowledge and practice, directlytranslating into improved clinical and hemodynamic outcomes for patients. Continuouseducational programs should be integrated into routine nursing practice.
