Discharge training and counselling increase self-care ability and reduce postdischarge problems in CABG patients.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine how discharge training and counselling provided to patients , who had undergone coronary artery bypass graft ( CABG ) surgery , had effects on patients ' self-care ability and on the problems encountered after discharge . The objectives were to help patients develop self-care behaviour to deal more comfortably with the problems caused by the disease and , hopefully , to reduce the number of problems they may encounter . BACKGROUND CABG surgery patients needing to manage various aspects of their self-care at home often find these tasks very difficult to carry out effectively . Discharge training and counselling services help patients undergoing CABG to develop self-care behaviours . DESIGN The study was prospect i ve and quasi-experimental . METHODS The intervention and control groups consisted of 57 patients who were given discharge training and counselling by a research er and 52 patients who were given routines by a nurse , respectively . The intervention group began receiving discharge training and counselling on the day of hospitalization . These were provided according to their individual knowledge needs and patients were given a booklet developed for training purpose s. Data were collected by research er using the Personal Information Form , the Self-Care Agency Scale . RESULTS It was found that the intervention group had a higher mean self-care score than the control group and experienced fewer problems following discharge compared with patients in the control group . CONCLUSION The discharge training and counselling services given to patients in the intervention group had a positive impact on the self-care ability of these patients and on alleviating the problems they encountered . RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE As discharge training and counselling services had a positive impact on the self-care and alleviation of the problems that patients encounter after being discharged , we recommend application of these services and the usage of the training booklet for CABG patients
