Coronary artery bypass graft surgery patients and their family member caregivers: outcomes of a family-focused staged psychoeducational intervention.
This experimental study examined the effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention delivered over 12 weeks . The sample was comprised of 38 coronary artery bypass graft ( CABG ) surgery patient-family member caregiver dyads who completed all six data collection points . Experimental and control groups did not differ in emotional health , functional health status , or satisfaction . Differences in the number of self-reported complications/symptoms were not in the predicted direction . Improvement occurred in clinical , functional , and emotional outcomes ; however , several symptoms , such as fatigue and pain , persisted . Family caregivers reported more depressive symptoms than patients preoperatively and at later stages of recovery . Implication s include the need for instruction about the recovery trajectory and adequate preparation and support of home health nurses and family caregivers
