Summary

This trial investigates whether a structured educational program led by nurses can reduce anxiety and improve outcomes for adults undergoing their first heart surgery. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the nurse-led program or usual care. The program covers preoperative preparation, postoperative recovery, self-care, and lifestyle advice, with follow-up for six months after surgery.
