Introduction: Myocardial revascularization is an essential procedure for patients with cardiovascular disease. Its recovery in the outpatient setting involves significant challenges for both the patient and the caregiver. This recovery phase may generate physical, emotional, and psychological complications that require an effective adaptation process of the patient-caregiver dyad to ensure successful recovery and improved quality of life.
Objective: To evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of a nursing intervention aimed at improving adaptation in the patient-caregiver dyad during the outpatient postoperative period following myocardial revascularization, compared with usual care, in Bucaramanga during the period 2026-2027.
Materials and Methods: A pilot randomized controlled trial will be conducted to develop and evaluate a novel nursing intervention aimed at promoting adaptation in patients undergoing outpatient postoperative myocardial revascularization and their caregivers. The intervention will be designed and its feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness will be assessed. Data analysis will be performed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods, considering the distribution and behavior of the data.
Expected Results: The study is expected to assess the preliminary effectiveness of the proposed intervention through the integration of theoretical and empirical components.
