| Summary: | Preoperative education has a positive impact on cardiac patient's
increase level of knowledge. It helps to prepare patient physically and
psychologically, since the patient undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG) has a hard time maintaining the health status after the surgery. The
objective of this study is to explore the knowledge outcome of the patient
regarding basic cardiac, lifestyle, and myocardial infarction risk factor among
CABG patients. Besides, the paper would like to determine the relationship of
sociodemographic data (sex, marital status) with knowledge level of CABG
patients. This is a descriptive and quantitative study. This study took place in
Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit (CICU) and Surgery Clinic (SOPD),
HUSM. The self-administered questionnaire was provided to patients (n=13)
during post-CABG phase. Patients has a low cardiac knowledge with mean
score of 59.23 (mean score <70). This included the basic cardiac knowledge
(89.90±13.20), knowledge on lifestyle were found at low level with men score
of 62.86±14.83, and myocardial infarction risk factor knowledge with low level
mean score of 39.42±17.56. There is no association between both sex and
marital status with cardiac health knowledge. In conclusion, CABG patient's
knowledge is low especially in lifestyle and risk factor despite the preoperative
intervention. Thus, ways to improvise the preoperative should be taken to
produce positive effect upon cardiac health knowledge of patient.
