Abstract

Introduction: Since coronary artery angina pectoris is a chronic disease, it negatively affects patients` self-concept. In this study, the effect of follow-up care on the self-concept of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting was investigated. Materials and Methodology: In this study, the clinical trial was measured using self-concept questionnaire considering the effect of follow-up or constant care on 60 patients under coronary artery bypass grafting in Seyed-al-shohada heart center of Urmia. Eight to twelve weeks after the operation, the follow-up care, which is an Iranian native model was administered through telephon. Data collection tools included patients` demographic data collection form as well as self-concept questionnaire consisting of 25 Likert-scale items of 1 to 5 (totally positive, positive, neutral, negative, totally negative), which measured 25 features. Results: In the current study, the mean age of patients in both groups (intervention and control) was 59.68±7.43 and 59.48±5.79 years old, respectively. In addition, the mean weight of patients in both groups (intervention and control) equaled 77.82±10.67 and 75.22±7.53 kg. According to the results of the mean, the perceived threat after the intervention was 45.16±4.28 in the intervention group and it was 40.43±5.22 in the control group, showing a significant statistical difference between two groups (p<0.001). The perceived challenge after the intervention was 70.86±6.82 in the intervention group and it was 67.13±6.37 in the control group, showing a significant statistical difference between two groups (p=0.028). Conclusion: The mean of self-concept score increased after the intervention and the observed results could have positive effects on the treatment of patients.
