Effect of Health Education Program on Self-Efficacy and Functional Capacity of Patients with Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery in Khartoum State-Sudan, 2015-2019
Coronary heart disease is among the most prevalent and costly of all global
health problems. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been increasingly used
since the 1960s. Coronary heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide, including
Sudan. Self-efficacy and functional capacity is a critical factor for quality of
life in patients who has undergone CABG as well as for their caregivers from their
families. Aim of the Study: To explore the effects of an educational program on
self-efficacy and functional capacity of patients after CABG. 1) There will be no
significant difference between the intervention group and control group concerning
knowledge regarding Self-efficacy and functional capacity post CABG surgery. 2)
The application of our educational program for the patients will enhance the patients
with CABG surgery and improve knowledge about Self-efficacy and functional capacity
post CABG surgery. 3) There are some socio demographic factors that affect the response to the educational program. Methods: This
was a quasi-experimental, interventional and hospital-based study, including
pre-test, a post-test and follow-up test, with a control group, conducted during
the period from September 2014 to June 2019. Patients were recruited consecutively
to the cases and control group using convenience sampling. The sample consisted
of 76 patients; 41 as cases and 35 as control group. The sample included those who
had undergone CABG in Khartoum State. Relevant data were collected using a checklist
to monitor the effect of a health education program on self-efficacy and functional
capacity of the patients. Result: The results showed marked improvement in patients’
self-efficacy and functional capacity between pretest and posttest for the study
group; p-value = (0.001) in the health status of cases in comparison to the control
group. The indices were observed to be higher for patients who received a nursing
educational program throughout the study period; p-value = (0.002).
