Summary

This study tested whether a 20-minute session of nurse-led spiritual care—including deep breathing, relaxation, and culturally appropriate prayer—could help heart surgery patients feel less anxious and keep their blood pressure and heart rate more stable. 248 adults in Indonesia took part. The goal was to see if adding this kind of care to standard preparation improves both physical and emotional well-being before surgery.
