Key result
CABG surgery is linked to higher postoperative trait anxiety but unchanged state anxiety.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to determine preoperative and postoperative anxiety levels, and their causes, in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Does coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery affect state and trait anxiety levels in patients?
Absolute Event Rate: 40.79% vs 38.85%
p-value: p=<0.05
Patients undergoing CABG surgery experience a significant increase in trait anxiety postoperatively, highlighting the need for targeted nursing interventions to manage stress.
Post-CABG trait anxiety rise may warrant monitoring; leaves open whether interventions improve outcomes.
Objective: The study was conducted to determine the preoperative and postoperative anxiety levels, and their causes, in patientswho underwent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Material and Methods: A total of 111 patients who underwent CABGsurgery in the cardiovascular surgery department of a state hospital in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus between August 1, 2019 and August 24, 2020 were included. The patient questionnaire prepared by the researcher and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were used as data collection tools. Results: The mean preoperative state anxiety (pretest) score of the patients was 44.39±10.12, and the mean trait anxiety (pretest) score was 38.85±7.47. The mean state anxiety (posttest) score after surgery was 44.12±9.02, and the mean trait anxiety (posttest) score was 40.79±6.81. There were no statistically significant differences between the preoperative and postoperative state anxiety scale scores of the patients (p>0.05), and a significant difference was found between the trait anxiety scale scores (p<0.05), and the postoperative trait anxiety scores were found to be high. Conclusion: According to the research results, the patients' postoperative trait anxiety scale scores were found to be high. During the planning of nursing care process, it can be suggested to address the anxiety levels of the patients, and provide planned training to each patient, and make appropriate nursing interventions to reduce their stress.

GERDAN et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery (n=111). Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery vs. Preoperative state was evaluated on State and trait anxiety scores (p=<0.05). In patients undergoing CABG surgery, postoperative trait anxiety scores (40.79) were significantly higher than preoperative scores (38.85, p<0.05), while state anxiety scores did not differ.
