Does structured patient education improve quality of life and knowledge level in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting?
Structured patient education improves knowledge and quality of life in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
Structured education may improve post-CABG QoL; leaves open need for RCTs to confirm benefit.
This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of structured patient education on the quality of life for coronary artery bypass grafting patients. The research included 80 patients (40 control, 40 experimental) who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery at the cardiovascular surgery ward of a university hospital in Western Turkey and met the criteria to be included in the sample. The following documents were used to collect data: Patient Information Form, Knowledge Level Form and SF36 Quality of Life Scale. It was determined that the structured planned patient education for coronary artery bypass grafting patients effectively improved the patients' knowledge level and quality of life.

Özdemır et al. (2020) conducted an RCT in Coronary artery bypass grafting (n=80). Structured patient education vs. Control was evaluated on Quality of life (SF36 Quality of Life Scale) and knowledge level. Structured planned patient education effectively improved the knowledge level and quality of life for coronary artery bypass grafting patients compared to control.
