Abstract
Introduction
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is a common procedure to improve blood flow to the heart muscles, but patients often face challenges during the recovery period. Self-efficacy and depression play crucial roles in patient outcomes. Telephone follow-up and social network follow-up have been introduced as interventions to enhance self-efficacy. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of telephone follow-up and social network follow-up on self-efficacy and depression in CABG patients.
Method
The study is a single-blinded, randomized controlled trial conducted at Shahid Rajaee Heart Hospital in Tehran, Iran. The sample size was determined to be 99 patients who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, Sullivan's cardiac self-efficacy questionnaire, and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Participants were assigned to three groups: control, telephone follow-up, and WhatsApp follow-up using randomization. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 25 (IBM Corp., Armonk, N.Y., USA).
Results
The results revealed significant improvements in self-efficacy and reductions in depression scores for both the telephone and WhatsApp follow-up groups compared to the control group following the intervention (p<0.001). Additionally, the mean self-efficacy score was higher and the mean depression score was lower in the WhatsApp follow-up group than in the telephone follow-up group after the intervention (p<0.001).
Discussion
The findings provide valuable insights for healthcare professionals in choosing appropriate interventions to enhance patients' self-efficacy levels and improve mental health outcomes. Both telephone follow-up and social network follow-up interventions have their own advantages and can be effective in supporting patients' recovery after CABG surgery.
