简要总结
The purpose of this study is the investigation of the effect of nurse-led nutritional education of post-CABG patients on their dietary pattern, on their adherence to it, but also on their quality of life and well-being.
详细描述
Introduction Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, leading to approximately 18 million deaths annually. Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is the surgical treatment of coronary artery disease, which improves patients' symptoms and quality of life. However, successful postoperative recovery requires the adoption of a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition. Research shows that a diet high in unsaturated fat and low in saturated fat can improve the metabolic profile and cardiovascular function, reducing morbidity and potential complications. In addition, a balanced diet contributes to improving mental health and well-being, reducing anxiety and the occurrence of cognitive disorders such as postoperative delirium. Therefore, adherence to a healthy dietary pattern is crucial for the long-term management of the disease and the successful recovery of cardiac surgery patients.
Methodology A clinical study will be conducted with manipulation of independent variables and creation of a control group. Patients will be approached and randomly assigned to two groups: a) the control group (Group A), where patients will receive standard care based on the policy and protocols of the Tertiary Hospitals and b) the Intervention Group (Group B), where patients will receive nurse-led education through oral sessions, provision of an educational form and telephone calls at regular intervals.
The Greek versions of the Mediterranean Diet Screener (MEDAS), Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and Nottingham Health Profile Scale questionnaires, while translation and weighting will be carried out in the Greek population for the Cardiovascular Diet Questionnaire 2 (CDQ-2). The above aims to assess patients' compliance with specific dietary habits, while the latter concerns primarily cardiac patients. Questionnaires will be completed by all patients at the initial meeting and after 1, 3 and 6 months. Training and objective measurements will be performed only on patients in the intervention group. The statistical analysis of the data will be done with the SPSS program (version 26) and using descriptive and inductive statistical analysis methods.
Expected Results The proposed thesis aims to highlight the importance of nurse-led nutrition education in the care of patients after CABG. Education, through a variety of formats such as oral sessions, printed materials, home visits and telephone calls, is expected to improve patient outcomes, reducing the chances of hospital readmissions and improving their quality of life. In addition, it is expected to strengthen their adherence to healthy eating habits, contributing to the secondary and tertiary prevention of cardiovascular disease, and to reduce morbidity and mortality.

研究组 & 干预措施
Group A (Control Group)
These are patients who will have their body measurements, weight, body fat and water percentage measured. They will also complete the questionnaires that will be included in the study, but they will not receive any nutritional education from the researcher.
干预措施: Patients of Group A and B both are filling out the questionnaire "Mediterranean diet questionnaire (MEDAS)" (Behavioral)

干预措施: Measurement of patient somatometric characteristics (Other)
Intervention Group (Group B)
These are patients who will have their body measurements, weight, body fat and water percentage measured. They will also complete the questionnaires that will be included in the study. These patients will receive nutritional education from the researcher, through an information sheet, phone calls and messages. The goal is to improve their measurements and their nutritional choices due to this education, compared to the patients in Group A.
