Patients who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting surgery rarely receive information or have discussions regarding sexual quality of life with their healthcare providers. This quasi-experimental study aimed to assess the effectiveness of sexuality education programs on sexual quality of life following coronary artery bypass grafting surgery in Thailand. The experimental group, consisting of 30 participants, received sexual education, while a control group of 30 participants received routine care. The primary outcome measured was sexual quality of life, evaluated both before and after the intervention. An independent samples t-test was utilized to compare outcomes between the two groups, and a paired t-test was employed to assess changes within the intervention group. The results demonstrated a statistically significant difference in sexual quality of life between the groups (t = 3.47, p = 0.001). Moreover, the sexual quality of life score increased significantly in the intervention group (t = 4.52, p < 0.001), while no significant changes were observed in the control group (t = 0.41, p = 0.688). These findings underscore the positive impact of sexuality education programs on improving sexual quality of life following coronary artery bypass grafting. It is essential for healthcare providers to incorporate health education for patients prior to hospital discharge and to monitor sexual quality of life during follow-up visits.
接受冠状动脉搭桥手术的患者很少会从医护人员那里获得有关性健康生活质量的信息或进行相关讨论。这项准实验研究旨在评估性教育项目对泰国冠状动脉搭桥手术后患者性健康生活质量的效果。实验组由30名参与者组成，接受了性教育，而对照组的30名参与者接受常规护理。测量的主要结果是性健康生活质量，在干预前后均进行了评估。采用独立样本t检验比较两组结果，采用配对t检验评估干预组内的变化。结果显示两组之间性健康生活质量存在统计学上的显著差异（t = 3.47，p = 0.001）。此外，干预组的性健康生活质量得分显著提高（t = 4.52，p < 0.001），而对照组未观察到显著变化（t = 0.41，p = 0.688）。这些发现强调了性教育项目对改善冠状动脉搭桥手术后性健康生活质量的积极影响。医护人员在患者出院前纳入健康教育并在随访期间监测性健康生活质量至关重要。
