Description

Introduction: Cholecystectomy often requires dietary and lifestyle
adjustments, making adherence to educational programs crucial for

optimal recovery. This study evaluated patients' compliance with a post-
cholecystectomy educational program and examined how socio-
demographic factors influenced adherence. This study aimed to evaluate

patients' adherence to an educational program following cholecystectomy

and to investigate the relationship between adherence and socio-
demographic characteristics.

Methods: A quasi-experimental design was employed at AL Imam Sadiq
Teaching Hospital. Non-probability sampling was used to recruit 30
patients for the study group and 30 for the control group. A 9-item
instrument was developed, and a panel of 11 experts established its
validity. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed on
the collected data.
Results: The study found that socio-demographic factors play a significant
role in patients' adherence to the educational program. The pretest
adherence was (3.19) for the case group and (2.92) for the control group.
Posttest adherence significantly improved to (5.78) for the case group and
(3.13) for the control group. Notably, patients' employment status,
educational level, and monthly income were found to significantly
influence the effectiveness of the instructional program on nutritional
adherence.
Conclusion: The instructional program had a positive impact on patients
who underwent cholecystectomy, effectively improving their nutritional
adherence in both the case and control groups. This success underscores
the potential of such programs in post-cholecystectomy patient care. The
study recommends increasing patients' knowledge regarding nutritional
adherence and explaining dietary recommendations through social media.
Additionally, it suggests implementing the present program for all patients
undergoing cholecystectomy.
