OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of ocean sounds (white noise) on the night sleep pattern of postoperative coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients after transfer from an intensive care unit. DESIGN: A before and after trial with an experimental and a control group was used in this intervention study. SETTING: A large public hospital with primary, secondary, and tertiary care facilities. PATIENTS: A consecutive sample of 60 first-time CABG patients was systematically assigned to the experimental or the control group. INTERVENTION: For the experimental group, the sounds were played on the Marsona Sound Conditioner (Marpac Corporation, Wilmington, NC) for three consecutive nights posttransfer from the ICU. No control of environment, except for the elimination of white noise, was done for the control group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire, a visual analog scale, provided self-reported sleep scores on six variables. Analysis of covariance was used to test the difference between the posttest scores of the groups, with the pretest used as the covariate. RESULTS: There were significant differences in sleep depth, awakening, return to sleep, quality of sleep, and total sleep scores; the group receiving ocean sounds reported higher scores, indicating better sleep. There was no difference in the falling asleep scores. CONCLUSION: The use of ocean sounds is a viable intervention to foster optimal sleep patterns in postoperative CABG patients after transfer from the ICU.

AbstractCoronary heart disease (CHD) can be treated with Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG). This procedure is expected to reduce the morbidity and mortality rates due to CHD, and able to improve the quality of life. However, the recovery time of patients with post-operative CABG requires time to achieve a better quality of life. This study aims to determine the relationship between the length of postoperative CABG with the quality of life of post-operative CABG patients in Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital. The research method used a descriptive quantitative with a cross-sectional approach with a sample of 31 post-operative CABG patients who were willing to be respondents. Total sampling was used in this study. The instrument used a WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire that was valid and reliable. The results showed that the characteristics of patients with post-operative CABG were mostly 14 people (45.2%) aged 50-59 years old, 25 people (80.6%) were male, 16 people (51, 6%) were high school, and 15 people (48.4%) not working, 15 people (48.4%) have a length of post-operative CABG 4-6 months, and 21 people (67.7%) have a good quality of life. The results of the bivariate analysis with the Chi-square test showed that there was a relationship between the length of postoperative CABG with the quality of life of patients with a p-value = 0.006. The conclusion is encouraging the patients, families, and health workers, especially nurses have to pay attention to the quality of life of patients based on the length of post-operative CABG. Because of the length of post-operative CABG the better the quality of life of patients.
