Patients discharged after CABG surgery experience multiple postoperative problems and demonstrate moderate self-care ability, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary discharge education and home care follow-up.
Fatma Direk (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Postoperative problems after CABG surgery (n=53). CABG surgery was evaluated on Self-care ability score (ESCA Scale) (p=>0.05). Patients recovering from CABG surgery demonstrated a moderate mean self-care ability score of 108.5±17, with no significant difference between self-care scores and postoperative problems (p>0.05).
