Summary
This study tested whether a 20-minute session of nurse-led spiritual care, including prayer and relaxation techniques, could help heart surgery patients feel less anxious and have more stable blood pressure and heart rate before their operation. 248 adults in Indonesia took part. The goal was to see if adding culturally tailored spiritual support to standard care improves both physical and emotional well-being right before surgery.
