Summary

This study tests whether nutrition education provided by nurses can improve the eating habits and overall health of people who have recently had coronary artery bypass surgery. Researchers will enroll 160 patients and track their diet quality, weight, and well-being over time. The goal is to see if simple, nurse-led guidance helps patients stick to a heart-healthy Mediterranean diet.
