Effect of Family Involvement Intervention on Anxiety, Independence, and Psychological Resilience in CABG Surgery Patients
Sponsor: Yuzuncu Yil University
Summary
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.

Family Involvement-Based Nursing Intervention
The intervention process began with the identification of a family member who could actively participate in the patient's care. These individuals were typically defined as spouses, children, siblings, or close relatives living together. Patients included in the study were admitted to the cardiovascular surgery ward approximately three days before the planned surgery. During this period, routine preoperative preparations were carried out for the patients. These preparations included carotid and saphenous vein Doppler ultrasonography, consultations with the pulmonary medicine and cardiology departments, and preoperative blood preparation
