The aim of this study is to examine the effect of different discharge education methods on readiness for discharge and self-efficacy in individuals undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. This quasi-experimental study included 72 CABG patients in a university hospital in the Aegean Region, Turkey, from October 2019 to March 2022. The Standard Care Group (n=24) received no intervention, while the Education Booklet Group (n=24) received discharge education via a booklet, and the Mobile Application Group (n=24) via a mobile app. There was no statistically significant difference between the Education Booklet Group and the Mobile Application Group in terms of readiness for discharge and self-efficacy scores, but the scores of the Education Booklet Group and the Mobile Application Group were statistically higher than those of the Standard Care Group. While readiness for discharge and self-efficacy showed no significant difference between the 2 intervention groups, the mobile app was found to be at least as effective, usable, and highly recommended as the education traditionally given with the education booklet.
