Overview

Knowledge deficits support targeted education; leaves open effects on postoperative outcomes.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of CAD patients and their families related to CABG and postoperative care.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional study from January to April 2025 at TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital.
  • Used a self-designed, validated questionnaire to collect data from CAD patients and their families.
  • Analyzed responses for knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding CABG and postoperative management.
  • Obtained 512 valid responses, with 338 CAD patients and 174 family members.
  • Mean scores: knowledge 6.26, attitudes 28.89, practices 32.49, indicating significant knowledge gaps.
  • Higher education, retirement/self-employment, and longer CAD duration were linked to improved knowledge in patients.

Structured PICO

P
Population
512 participants (338 patients with coronary artery disease and 174 family members), 62.9% male. Patients were scheduled for or had previously undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and completed routine multimodal imaging.
O
Outcome
Knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) scores regarding coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), multimodal imaging examinations, and postoperative daily managementpatient reported

Patients with CAD and their families exhibit significant knowledge deficits and suboptimal practices regarding CABG and postoperative management, highlighting the need for targeted educational programs.
