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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Nurse-led educational program
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could become a standard way to prepare heart surgery patients, reducing their anxiety and helping them recover faster.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 261 participants, so results may not apply to all hospitals or patient groups. The program's success depends on how well it is delivered and received.
