Effect of Teach-Back Method in Angiography

An interventional study of Teach Back Education in Healthy and Angiography, sponsored by Tarsus University. Enrolling by invitation at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-07-09.

Registry
Anxiety Disorders — the first condition term the registry derived for this study.
ClinicalTrials.gg
Necrophobia
Why
  1. The registry often attaches Anxiety Disorders to studies about something else, and this study's title and listed conditions do not name it.
  2. The study's title name Necrophobia, a narrower term within Anxiety Disorders.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own title. Of 46 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 72% were exactly right and 89% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 4% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

This study aims to evaluate the effect of discharge training with Teach-Back Method on anxiety, fear of death and knowledge level in patients undergoing coronary angiography.

H1: The training given with the Teach-Back Method decreases the anxiety level of coronary angiography patient.

H2: The training given with the Teach-Back Method decreases the fear of death level of coronary angiography patient.

H3: The training given with the Teach-Back Method increases the knowledge level of coronary angiography patient.

Read the detailed description

Teach-back technique is an effective educational method that enables a person to rephrase what he/she has learnt in his/her own words to show that he/she understands. There is no study evaluating the effect of discharge training with Teach-Back Method on anxiety, fear of death and knowledge level in patients undergoing coronary angiography. In addition, in this study, anxiety, fear of death and knowledge levels of the patients before and after the training will be discussed and will guide future studies. Discharge education to be given with the Teach-Back method will increase the level of knowledge of the patients and enable them to return to their normal lives. At the end of the study, the participants will be asked about their satisfaction level with the Teach-Back method. According to the results of the study, it is expected that the use of the Teach-Back method will increase in the education given to patients.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Teach back education group

    In the first stage, all participants will be explained about the research and their consent will be obtained. 'Personal Information Form' will be filled out for the patients whose informed consents are obtained and who agree to participate in the study. Then, 'Information Questionnaire', 'State Anxiety Scale' and 'Death Anxiety Scale' will be administered to all patients as a pretest. In the second stage, discharge training will be given to patients who underwent coronary angiography with the Teach-Back method. In the third stage, 'Information Questionnaire', 'State Anxiety Scale' and 'Death Anxiety Scale' will be applied as posttest after the training. In addition, at the end of the study, 'Satisfaction Evaluation of Teach-Back Method' will be made to the intervention group.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Personal Information Form

    This form was prepared by the researchers in line with the literature and includes questions questioning the demographic characteristics such as age, gender, socioeconomic level, etc. This form will be used before the training.

    Time frame: 10 minutes

  2. Information Questionnaire

    This form will consist of questions that will measure the level of knowledge of patients about discharge education after coronary angiography. A literature review will be conducted and 20 multiple-choice questions will be prepared by the researchers. Expert opinion will be obtained from a total of 5 faculty members working in the department of nursing principles in the preparation of this form. Then, the form will be finalised after the necessary arrangements are made. In the form consisting of multiple-choice questions with one correct answer, each question has a value of 5 points. Caregivers can get at least 0 and at most 100 points from the knowledge test. Increasing the score means that the knowledge is sufficient. Questions with incorrect answers are considered as topics to be prioritised in training. This form will be used before and after the training.

    Time frame: 20 minutes

  3. State Anxiety Inventory

    This scale was developed by Spielberger and colleagues (1970). The scale was adapted into Turkish by Öner and Le Compte (1998). The scale consists of 20 questions and it is a scale that determines how the individual feels at a certain moment and condition. In the state anxiety scale, the response options collected in four classes are: (1) Not at all, (2) A little, (3) A lot and (4) Completely. The constant value for the State Anxiety Scale is 50. The scores obtained in the state anxiety scale theoretically vary between 20 and 80 points. In the evaluation of the scale, it is accepted that those who score below 36 have no anxiety, those who score between 37 and 42 have mild anxiety and those who score 42 and above have high anxiety. This form will be used before and after the training.

    Time frame: 10 minutes

  4. Death Anxiety Scale

    This scale was developed by Templer (1970). The scale was adapted into Turkish by Şenol (1989). The validity and reliability of this scale was reviewed by Akça and Köse (2008) in different groups in Turkish norms.The scale consists of 15 items expressing feelings such as anxiety, fear, and terror related to death. The scale is in the form of true and false binary Likert type. Correct answers are given 1 point, while incorrect answers are not scored. In the test with a score range of 0-15, a higher score means that death anxiety is higher. It can be said that those with a scale score of 7 and above also have high death anxiety. This form will be used before and after the training.

    Time frame: 10 minutes

  5. Evaluation of Satisfaction with Teach-Back Method

    The patients participating in the study will be asked to give a score between 1-10 in order to determine the level of satisfaction with the training provided by the teach-back method. It is defined as 1-not at all 10- very much and they will be asked to give full points. This form will be used after the training.

    Time frame: 5 minutes
