This research aims to assess the impact of preoperative pain education on pain severity in patients undergoing CABG surgery.
Quasi-experimental design conducted with 72 randomly assigned patients.
Intervention group received 20-30 minutes of pain control education; control group received standard care.
Pain severity was measured using the numerical rating scale at four time points post-surgery.
No significant difference in pain severity at 2 hours post-surgery (P=0.313).
Significant reduction in pain severity at 5 hours (P=0.006) and 8 hours (P=0.015) post-surgery.
Intervention group reported lower pain severity with analgesics and higher severity with non-pharmacological methods (P=0.046).
