Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Barnason Efficacy Expectation Scale (BEES) - Cardiac Surgery Version

    The increasing score indicates that the individual's expectation of self-efficacy regarding recovery and behavioral changes is also high.

    on the day of discharge after standard care, estimated average 7 days and one month after discharge

  • Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale

    The patient with a ready-to-discharge score of 7 and above is considered ready to be discharged, whereas a score below 7 indicates that the patient is not ready.

    on the day of discharge after standard care, estimated average 7 days

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • System Usability Scale (SUS)

    on the day of discharge after standard care, estimated average 7 days

  • Net Promoter Score

    on the day of discharge after standard care, estimated average 7 days

Study Arms (3)

Standard care group

NO INTERVENTION

The standard discharge training of the clinic was carried out in the patient's room on the day of discharge in an average of 5 minutes, in the form of verbally explaining the information deemed important by the physician and/or nurse to the patient. No intervention was made in this group.

Education Booklet Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Discharge training was given by the researcher the day before the surgery in an average of 60 minutes in the meeting room of the clinic through the booklet.

Other: Education Booklet

Mobile Application Group

EXPERIMENTAL

The mobile application was introduced to the patient by the researcher the day before the surgery. During the presentation phase, the patient was informed about the titles and contents of the training videos, and after explaining the technical features related to turning the tablet on and off, raising and lowering the volume, logging into the account using the username and password for training, using the buttons on the main screen and the keyboard, the patient was asked to apply them. All these stages took an average of 20 minutes. In addition, information about logging in, such as how to switch on and off the device, the patient's user name and password, were added to the back of the tablet in writing.

Other: Mobile application

Interventions

Training titles and contents were created by listing the most common complications and needs of patients after CABG surgery. In the "General Information" section of the booklet, the definition of CAD, how CABG surgery is performed, the length of hospital stay, and what can be experienced in the hospital after surgery and in the home environment after discharge were discussed. In the "Postoperative Self-Care Practices" section, information about the healing process of the breastbone, pain management, medication, respiratory exercises, early nutrition, personal hygiene, protection from coronavirus-19, pulse control, postoperative heart attack, conditions to be reported, compression stockings use for varicose veins, physical activity, travel, sleep and rest, sexual life, and coping with stress and depression was presented. In the "Postoperative Life" section, training topics on exercise, nutrition, smoking, and alcohol use were included.

Education Booklet Group

The logo and content of the "Bypass e-Discharge" application was visually designed, and the software was developed. In-app transactions were secured with end-to-end encryption by entering the username and password, and internet access was not required to use the application. The application was presented for expert opinion (3 patients, 1 academician, 2 nurses, 2 physicians) in order to investigate the user experience, and edits were made on its interface (such as adding the "acceleration" feature in videos, an additional button for stopping and starting videos, displaying video total time on the screen, and magnification of all buttons).
