NCT ID NCT07743346
First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a structured nurse-led education program can improve knowledge, practical skills, and self-care behaviors in adults who have just received a permanent pacemaker. Participants receive three individual teaching sessions with illustrated booklets and hands-on demonstrations, or standard hospital care. The trial measures changes in knowledge, self-care behaviors, and practical skills at baseline, right after the program, and one month later.
