Key result
Preparatory information increases knowledge and enhances activity resumption during recovery after CABG.
Why the study?
Do preparatory information interventions improve knowledge and resumption of activities in patients recovering from CABG?
Do preparatory information interventions improve knowledge and resumption of activities in patients recovering from CABG?
Preparatory information interventions post-CABG are effective for increasing patient knowledge and activity resumption, though more research is needed on secondary prevention and diverse populations.
May support preparatory education in CABG recovery; leaves open effects on secondary prevention and diverse populations.
In this integrated review of the literature 19 published investigations of interventions to promote recovery following coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) are analyzed. The most frequently tested CABG recovery intervention, preparatory information, effectively increased knowledge, and enhanced resumption of activities during recovery. However, its effect on mood states during recovery remains unclear. There was clear evidence that information interventions designed to increase individuals' knowledge about expected recovery experiences and coronary artery disease were effective. Analysis of the studies indicated that few women, elders, and minority races were included. An important area needing development and testing of interventions is secondary prevention of cardiac risk factors.

Shirley M. Moore (1997) conducted a review in Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Preparatory information interventions was evaluated on Knowledge, resumption of activities, and mood states. Preparatory information interventions effectively increased knowledge and enhanced resumption of activities during recovery following CABG across 19 analyzed studies.
