The Effect of Different Training Methods On Discharge

"Training titles and contents were created by listing the most common complications and needs of patients after CABG surgery. In the General Information section of the booklet, the definition of CAD, how CABG surgery is performed, the length of hospital stay, and what can be experienced in the hospital after surgery and in the home environment after discharge were discussed. In the Postoperative Self-Care Practices section, information about the healing process of the breastbone, pain management, medication, respiratory exercises, early nutrition, personal hygiene, protection from coronavirus-19, pulse control, postoperative heart attack, conditions to be reported, compression stockings use for varicose veins, physical activity, travel, sleep and rest, sexual life, and coping with stress and depression was presented. In the Postoperative Life section, training topics on exercise, nutrition, smoking, and alcohol use were included."

"The logo and content of the Bypass e-Discharge application was visually designed, and the software was developed. In-app transactions were secured with end-to-end encryption by entering the username and password, and internet access was not required to use the application. The application was presented for expert opinion (3 patients, 1 academician, 2 nurses, 2 physicians) in order to investigate the user experience, and edits were made on its interface (such as adding the acceleration feature in videos, an additional button for stopping and starting videos, displaying video total time on the screen, and magnification of all buttons)."
