Why the study?
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery can cause significant stress for patients.
Do coping mechanisms and stress management strategies help patients manage stress while undergoing CABG?
Do coping mechanisms and stress management strategies help patients manage stress while undergoing CABG?
Preoperative education and partner support are key strategies for managing high stress levels in patients undergoing CABG surgery.
Preoperative education and partner support may reduce CABG stress; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Background Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) is a surgery to treat Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), the number one killer in the world. This surgery can cause significant stress for the patient. Aim: to identify literature on stress, coping mechanisms, and stress management strategies that help patients cope with stress while undergoing the CABG procedure. Method: An integrative review was conducted based on the Whittemore & Knafl approach. Result: Patients about to undergo CABG surgery mostly experience high levels of stress. The primary source of stress identified was anxiety about facing the surgery. The source of coping that significantly influenced the patient's adaptation mechanism was support from their partner. The stress management strategy needed by patients to deal with preoperative stress was preoperative education. Conclusion: Stress in patients undergoing CABG surgery can be controlled with adaptive coping mechanisms and effective stress management strategies.
