Summary

This study tested whether adding a video to standard discharge education helps patients who have had coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery feel more satisfied and less anxious. 120 patients were randomly assigned to receive either standard education, a standard video, or a personalized video. The study measured satisfaction and anxiety levels using questionnaires.
