Prior to the intervention, patients exhibited poor adherence to recommended dietary patterns, necessitating targeted interventions to promote healthier eating habits. The educational program was designed to address these dietary challenges and encourage positive changes. A pre-post-test approach was employed to evaluate the impact of the educational program. The study sample included 80 patients admitted to the cardiac catheterization unit at Azadi Teaching Hospital. Data collection encompassed demographic characteristics, clinical data, clinical presentation, and dietary domains. Prior to the intervention, only a small percentage of patients reported adherence to healthier dietary patterns, such as having a good appetite (5.0%) and avoiding high-salt diets (15.0%). However, post-program assessments demonstrated substantial positive changes, with 95.0% of patients reporting a good appetite and 90.0% avoiding high-salt diets. Statistical analyses further confirmed highly significant differences (p < 0.001) between pre and post-program assessments for each dietary pattern item. These findings underscore the program's success in promoting healthier dietary choices among cardiac catheterization patients. The observed improvements align with previous studies emphasizing the crucial role of dietary habits in cardiovascular health. The significant positive changes in dietary behaviors provide robust evidence of the educational program's effectiveness. In conclusion, the implementation of a dietary educational program significantly improved the dietary habits of patients undergoing cardiac catheterization in Kirkuk city. The program's success in promoting healthier dietary patterns highlights the importance of tailored interventions in cardiovascular disease management.
