Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a form of interventional cardiology procedure that
includes expanding a balloon in a stenotic or blocked artery. Aim: To assess effect of a portable
computer-based educational intervention video on the outcomes of patients undergoing
percutaneous coronary intervention. Setting: Al Orman Assiut University Hospital's cardiac
catheterization unit. Design: A quasi-experimental was used. Sample: 60 patients who were
admitted for the first time for percutaneous coronary intervention. Data was collected using two
tools: tool I: patient assessment sheet tool II patient outcome assessment sheet. Results: More than
half (86.4%) of patients in the study group had a higher total knowledge score level after
implementing the educational intervention video, and a lower score of anxiety level in the study
group after implementing the educational intervention video than control group with p value
(0.004), finally about (93.3%) of subjects in the study group had mild pain level before discharge
compare with control group. Conclusion: Using a portable computer-based educational intervention
video is effective for improving patients' short-term health literacy goals, reduce pain and provide
comfort. Recommendations: Further research focusing on the assessment of the quality of life of
this group of patients
