Key result
Better pre-operative adaptation, lower distress, and fewer complications predict less behavioral disturbance after cardiac surgery.
Why the study?
The study aimed to understand the relationship between pre-operative adaptation, illness extent, psychological factors, and post-operative behavior following cardiac surgery.

Do pre-operative adaptation, extent of illness, and psychological factors correlate with post-operative behavioral disturbance in patients undergoing open heart surgery?
Pre-operative psychological adaptation and lower illness severity are associated with reduced behavioral disturbances following open heart surgery.
Chase Patterson Kimball (2010) conducted an observational in Open heart surgery. Pre-operative adaptation and clinical factors was evaluated on Behavioral disturbance. Greater pre-operative adaptation, lesser illness severity, lower emotional distress, and fewer operative complications were associated with less behavioral disturbance following open heart surgery.
