Post-operative coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients require educational interventions to support recovery and prevention of surgical complications. However, the effectiveness of these interventions is questionable, as stress related to the hospitalization process can result in increased levels of anxiety that may impact on the success of the education. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between anxiety and the achievement of knowledge, use of self-care behaviours, and management of symptoms. A descriptive correlation design was used, which included a convenience sample. Results indicate statistically significant correlations between anxiety and the outcomes ofinterest. Implications for practice include provision of educational interventions at times when anxiety levels are low.
冠状动脉搭桥术（CABG）术后患者需要教育干预措施来支持康复并预防手术并发症。然而，这些干预措施的有效性值得怀疑，因为与住院过程相关的压力可能导致焦虑水平升高，这可能会影响教育的成效。本研究的目的是探讨焦虑与知识掌握、自我护理行为的运用以及症状管理之间的关系。采用了描述性相关性设计，其中包括一个便利样本。结果表明焦虑与相关结果之间存在统计学上的显著相关性。对实践的启示包括在焦虑水平较低时提供教育干预措施。
