Comparison of the effect of telephone follow-up with social network follow-up program on self-efficacy and depression in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery: A randomized controlled trial

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is a common procedure to improve blood flow to the heart muscles, but patients often face challenges during the recovery period. Self-efficacy and depression play crucial roles in patient outcomes. Telephone follow-up and social network follow-up have been introduced as interventions to enhance self-efficacy. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of telephone follow-up and social network follow-up on self-efficacy and depression in CABG patients.
