    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Cardiovascular Health
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Context:

    • Effective rehabilitation for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABS) patients necessitates continuity of care from hospital to post-discharge.
    • Nurses play a pivotal role in patient and family support during the crucial pre-discharge phase.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the contributions of community support groups to the rehabilitation of CABS patients from a nursing perspective.
    • To identify gaps in current pre-discharge preparation programs and the utilization of support services.

    Summary:

    • A descriptive, contextual study using survey methods assessed support group inputs for CABS rehabilitation.
    • Findings indicate a lack of structured pre-discharge programs in healthcare institutions.
    • Existing community support groups are not fully leveraged, and nursing staff engagement is minimal.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the need for enhanced, structured pre-discharge rehabilitation programs for CABS patients.
    • Emphasizes the underutilization of community resources and the potential for increased nursing involvement.
    • Aims to improve long-term recovery outcomes and patient quality of life post-CABS.
