Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a continuous comprehensive nursing (CCN) system compared to routine care for patients after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The primary goal is to determine if the CCN system improves postoperative hemoglobin levels. The study also investigates the effects on quality of life, mental health (anxiety and depression), red blood cell indices, immune markers, and patient satisfaction.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) is a major procedure, and the postoperative recovery process is complex, often impacting patients' hemoglobin levels and quality of life. Standard nursing care is often limited to the inpatient period. A continuous comprehensive nursing (CCN) system is a holistic, patient-centered model that extends care beyond hospital discharge. This model includes preoperative education, continuous monitoring, personalized care plans, psychological support, rehabilitation guidance, and structured follow-up. While the benefits of comprehensive nursing are recognized, its specific impact on hemoglobin recovery and quality of life after CABG has not been extensively studied. This randomized controlled trial was designed to compare the outcomes of patients receiving a CCN plan with those receiving routine postoperative care to provide evidence for optimizing post-CABG nursing strategies.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Continuous Comprehensive Nursing (CCN) System

Participants received a continuous comprehensive care plan delivered by specifically trained cardiac nurses. This plan included:

* Preoperative Phase: Comprehensive education about the surgery, risks, and expected outcomes, along with psychological support.
* Intraoperative Phase: Standard intraoperative nursing care including close monitoring.
* Postoperative Inpatient Phase: In addition to routine care, this phase focused on pain management, wound care, and individualized rehabilitation guidance.
* Post-Discharge Continuous Phase (3 months): This phase included regular follow-up (monthly phone calls, one outpatient visit at 6 weeks), ongoing psychological support, continuous education (medication adherence, diet, activity), structured home-based rehabilitation training, and periodic evaluation of quality of life.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Continuous Comprehensive Nursing System

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A multi-faceted nursing plan delivered by trained cardiac nurses, extending from the preoperative phase to 3 months post-discharge. In addition to routine inpatient care, the intervention included: preoperative education and psychological support; postoperative individualized rehabilitation guidance; and a continuous post-discharge program. The post-discharge phase involved structured follow-up (monthly phone calls, one 6-week outpatient visit), ongoing psychological support, reinforcement of education on medication adherence, diet, and activity progression, and guidance on a structured home-based exercise program.

Routine Care

Participants received standard institutional postoperative care for CABG, which primarily focused on the inpatient period. Key elements included:

* Monitoring of vital signs, consciousness, and peripheral circulation.
* Management of respiratory tract patency and urinary catheters.
* Hourly monitoring of drainage tubes initially.
* Wound care and monitoring for bleeding.
* Body temperature monitoring and oral care.
* Guidance on progressing from liquid diets.
* Standard discharge instructions without structured post-discharge follow-up.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Routine Postoperative Care

Intervention Type OTHER

Standard institutional postoperative care for patients after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery. This care was primarily focused on the inpatient period and included monitoring of vital signs, wound and drainage tube management, respiratory and circulatory support, and progressive diet guidance. The care concluded with standard discharge instructions and did not include the structured, continuous, or extended follow-up provided to the intervention group.
