The effect of video and brochure-supported education given to patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery before surgery on anxiety, vital signs and pain of patients

This study was conducted to examine the effects of preoperative video and brochure training on anxiety, vital signs and pain of patients who will undergo coronary artery bypass graft surgery. This research was planned by creating an experimental and control group and,the data of the experimental of research type were collected from all patients hospitalized in the CVC service of SANKO University Sani Konukoğlu Hospital Application and Research Center between March 1, 2022, and June 30, 2022, and who would undergo bypass surgery. When the confidence level in the sample known to the universe was calculated by taking 95%, the number of patients to be included in the study was found to be 60. Patients were divided into two groups control (n=30) and experimental (n=30). The data were collected by the researcher using a face-to-face interview technique with a patient identification form, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Visual Analogue Scale and vital signs evaluation form. The average time patients spent on the forms was 15-20 minutes. The control group was given brochure-supported training face-to-face for 20-40 minutes. In the experimental group of patients' similar information was explained with a laptop computer through visual and auditory video. The video tutorial also lasted 40 minutes. The data were evaluated by number, percentage, student t-test in SPSS 23.0 program on the computer. Necessary permissions were obtained from SANKO University Sani Konukoğlu Hospital Application and Research Center. The aim of the study was explained to the patients and the participation of volunteer patients was ensured. In line with the findings obtained in the study, a statistically insignificant difference was found in the anxiety of the patients on the hospital anxiety/depression scale (p>0,05). There was a statistically significant difference in depression (p<0.05). A statistically significant difference was found on the depression scale (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in pain values (p>0.05). There was no significant difference in vital signs (p=0.433). Planning of patient education programs to reduce anxiety levels before and after the surgery of patients who will have coronary artery bypass graft surgery can reduce the pain level of patients, positively affect their vital signs and reduce their anxiety. For this reason, these planned trainings should be given to patients. Keywords: Pain; Nursing; Brochure and Video Training; Anxiety; Vital Signs; Coronary Arter By-pass Graft.
