Effect of Family Participation-Based Intervention Before Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) on Patients' Anxiety, Independence, and Psychological Resilience: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This randomized controlled trial was conducted to examine the effect of a family-based intervention prior to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery on patients' psychosocial and functional outcomes. In the intervention group, family members who would participate in the care process received structured training, and their active participation in the pre- and post-operative care process was ensured. The control group received standard care. The study found that the family-based intervention reduced patients' preoperative anxiety levels, supported their independence, and strengthened their psychological resilience. The findings suggest that encouraging family involvement in patient care prior to CABG surgery can significantly contribute to both improving psychosocial adjustment and supporting the recovery process.
