The data was collected using one tool; “Structured questionnaire sheet” which consists of 31questions related to socio-demographic characteristics, angina pectoris, and preventive measures of angina pectoris. The result of this study indicated that there are statistically significant improvements at p-value (0.001) immediately after program implementation regarding patients’ knowledge about preventive measures of angina pectoris. Moreover, it was also found statistically significant relation between patients’ knowledge and total scores of their knowledge. There is statistically significant associations between the changes in the scores of either knowledge and socio-demographic characteristics (age, and duration of disease) while there is no statistically significant associations between their knowledge and educational level. Therefore, it can be concluded from the results of the present study that the training program for nurses had a positive impact on their knowledge and practice.
