ABSTRACT

Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with the first four hours being critical for reducing myocardial damage and improving survival. Early nursing interventions such as rapid recognition, timely ECG, prompt medication administration, and preparation for reperfusion significantly improve patient outcomes and reduce complications. This study aims to assess the knowledge of nursing officers regarding AMI care within the first four hours in selected government hospitals of Dholpur, Rajasthan, and to determine its association with selected socio-demographic variables. The findings highlight the need for continuous education, seminars, and standardized training to enhance nursing competence and improve patient health outcomes.

Key words: Acute myocardial infarction, nursing officers, seminar
