The Effect of Video Education on Pain, Anxiety and Knowledge Levels of Coronary Bypass Graft Surgery Patients

The Effect of Patient Education With Video Prior to Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery on Pain, Anxiety and Knowledge Levels of Patients

The aim of this research to examine the effectiveness of video-education on pain, anxiety, and knowledge levels on adult patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

A video based patient education will be used in this randomized controlled study. Patient education via video aims to reduce the patient's anxiety levels, control their pain, and improve their health outcomes by increasing knowledge levels. In addition, since this training is visual-based, it is aimed to provide effective learning by reducing the inequality due to sociodemographic and individual differences between participants. The video-education includes information about pre and post-surgical process and care.
