Sample and sample size: The total sample size was 60, (30 PTCA clients for the experimental group and 30 for the control group). Result: The pre-test findings of the knowledge were, that the mean score of the control group was 11.2, for the experimental group was 12.46 and the standard deviation for the control group was 2.38 and for the experimental group was 2.15 whereas the post-test knowledge mean was 12.9 and 25.6 and standard deviation was 1.73 and 2.12 for control and experimental groups respectively. The obtained t value with regard to the knowledge (t=25.39) was highly significant at 0.01 level in the experimental group. Conclusion: From the data of statistical findings, the structured teaching programme was found to be effective in improving the knowledge regarding post-operative complications among PTCA clients.
