Does an Individualized Self-Care Program improve self-care behavior and address learning needs in patients following their first CABG procedure?
An individualized self-care program delivered in early recovery significantly improves self-care behaviors and addresses changing learning needs in patients after CABG surgery.
Alkuwaisi et al. (2024) conducted an RCT in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) (n=128). Individualized Self-Care Program (ISCP) vs. Standard health education was evaluated on Learning needs and self-care behavior. The Individualized Self-Care Program significantly reduced learning needs (from 4.3 to 2.6) and improved self-care behavior compared to standard education in patients following their first CABG.
