BackgroundPatients often experience anxiety and feel overwhelmed by the prospect of undergoing open-heart surgery. Randomized controlled trials have found preoperative education materials and counseling to reduce levels of patient anxiety, depression, and perioperative complications following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)/valve surgery.ObjectiveThe purposes of this performance improvement project were to develop preoperative teaching materials for cardiac surgery inpatients and evaluate their usability.MethodsExisting CABG/valve teaching materials were evaluated. A new booklet was developed through an iterative process. An expert panel reviewed the final draft using the patient education materials assessment tool for printable materials (PEMAT-P). Patients were surveyed for usability and usefulness.ResultsExpert reviewer results for using the PEMAT-P tool for understandability and actionability were 99% and 100%. Of 62 teaching booklets and patient preparedness questionnaires distributed, N = 11 (17.7%) were returned. Nearly all respondents (90.9%) agreed or strongly agreed for questions related to how well the booklet prepared them for surgery. Likewise, 90.9% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed with statements about design and content of the booklet. The hospital consumer assessment of healthcare providers and systems performance reports from October 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 showed improvement for discharge information (96.2% from 92.2%), symptom to look for (100% from 94.9%), and care transitions (66.2% from 54.3%).ConclusionsThe development and implementation of evidence-based preoperative teaching materials help patients and families prepare for open-heart surgery and self-care after discharge.Implications for NursingNurses' utilization of preoperative teaching materials improves patient satisfaction, preparedness, and usefulness.

Background: Stroke as a complication of open-heart surgery can be a cause of death and widespread disability. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the SYNTAX Score and carotid artery stenosis and evaluate patients undergoing open-heart surgery in terms of postoperative complications and mortality in a six-month to two-year follow-up period. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 113 patients with CAD who underwent open-heart surgery at our hospital from 2016 to 2017. After collecting demographic data, the SYNTAX score, and color Doppler sonography report, the data were recorded and analyzed by SPSS22. Results: In our study, most patients were male and aged between 50 and 70 years. The mean SYNTAX score was 32.667 + 13.668 in the group with significant carotid stenosis, 33.926 + 9.387 in the group with no significant carotid stenosis, and 30.868 + 9.963 in the group without carotid stenosis. The results showed no significant relationship between carotid artery stenosis and the SYNTAX score (P = 0.512) and no significant relationship between the SYNTAX score and surgical complications (P = 0.666). Conclusions: According to the results, there is no significant relationship between the SYNTAX score and various indices related to heart disease, carotid artery stenosis, and postoperative morbidity and mortality. Thus, this index cannot be used to check and follow patients. However, further studies are needed to reach a definitive conclusion.
