Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of an instructional program on patient's adherence about clopidogrel therapy post percutaneous coronary intervention
Methodology: Thia quasi-experimental study was carried out at Al- Nasiriyah Heart Center in Thi-Qar Governorate from 19th of May to 25th of October 2022. A non-probability (purposive) sample of 100 patients were divided into two groups; 50 patients as study and 50 as controls. We used General Medication Adherence Scale, which is composed of 11 items. Validity and reliability of the instrument are determined through a pilot study. Data were analyzed through SPSS version 24.
Results: Patients in the study group showed poor level of adherence during the pre-test (84%) while they showed good and high levels of adherence during the post-test (good= 50% and high=34%).
Conclusion: The instructional program was influential in enhancing patient's adherence regarding clopidogrel therapy post percutaneous coronary intervention

Key words: Percutaneous coronary intervention, clopidogrel, adherence.
