Abstract
Quality of life has emerged as an important concept and outcome in health and health care. This study was performed to evaluate the ability of the health education program to improve quality of life of patients with coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). In pre operation period, 70 patients were randomized in two groups, experimental and control group (35 patients in each). The demographic information, SF-36 and Nottingham Health Profile questionnaire were administered before surgery to all patients. Patients in the experimental group received the educational intervention according to Mico's education planning model. These patients were followed up to 1-month. At result, SF-36, Nottingham Health Profile questionnaires were administered 1-month after education by patients again. Significant improvements in quality of life between two groups, as measured by the Nottingham Health Profile, were seen in energy (P < 0.001), pain (P < 0.006), emotional reaction (P < 0.00001), sleep (P < 0.01), physical mobility (P < 0.00001) and total average quality of life (P < 0.00001). Significant improvements in quality of life between two groups, as measured by the SF-36, were seen in physical function (P < 0.00001), role limitations resulting from emotional status (P < 0.007), role limitations resulting from physical status (P < 0.05), mental health (P < 0.03), vitality (P < 0.02) and total average quality of life (P < 0.02). The findings demonstrate that health education result is improved quality of life for patients with CABG. © 2007 Tehran University of Medical Sciences. All rights reserved
