Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the discharge training given by nurses to patients who underwent revascularization. Design: The single-centered study had a descriptive design. Methods: The study was conducted with 73 nurses in Turkey between February and March 2022. The data were collected using an information form regarding socio-demographic characteristics and a questionnaire that questions the discharge training given to the patients who underwent revascularization. The questionnaire consists of eight.ßclassification-type (nominal) questions. Permission for the study was received from the Non-Invasive Clinical Research Ethics Committee and voluntary consent was obtained from the participants. Findings: 46.6% of study participants were in the 20 to 30 age group; 61.6% were employed in the cardiology service; 50.7% received in-service training on the care of patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. There were differences in practices regarding discharge training among nurses by gender, age, unit of work, and source of access to information.ß(P.ß<.ß.05). When the discharge training and practices of the nurses who gave discharge training to their patients were evaluated, the nurses scored 6.71.ß…ß2.23 and performed well above the average. Conclusions: Female nurses aged 41 and over, working in the revascularization laboratory, and reading the relevant literature performed postrevascularization patient discharge training practices at a higher level compared to other nurses. The importance of nurses' field specialization training, advancing age with working years, experience, and access to current literature for better patient care is emphasized.
