Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* Can nurse-led education reduce the rate of surgical wound infections after coronary artery bypass surgery?
* Does the addition of tele-interventions further decrease the incidence of these infections compared to standard care?
Researchers will compare three groups:
* Group A: Standard postoperative care
* Group B: Nurse-led patient education
* Group C: Nurse-led patient education plus tele-interventions
Participants will:
* Receive standard care, nurse-led education, or nurse-led education with tele-interventions
* Having regular follow-up as per group assignment
* Monitor and report infection during the study period

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control group: Group A
No education and implementation of teleinterventions, whereas implementation of standard care based on the existing protocol of the Clinical Department is going to be applied
No interventions assigned to this group
Group B: nurse-led education
The participants in Group B will be guided and trained by the principal investigator based on a specially designed educational booklet. Group B will also receive teleinterventions.
Group B: nurse-led education
Group B: nurse-led education No educational video, will be shown to this group of patients
Group C: nurse-led education and implementation of teleinterventions
The participants in Group C will be guided and trained by the principal investigator based on a specially designed educational booklet. Group C will also receive teleinterventions and a guidance video will be presented to them
Group C: nurse-led education and implementation of teleinterventions
Group C: nurse-led education and implementation of teleinterventions An educational video, made for the purposes of the study only, will be shown to them. This is the difference between the two groups
