Introduction: Patients after a heart surgery and spending a recovery period at home need to have an early cardiac rehabilitation program. The first phase of cardiac rehabilitation program is well known for improving long-term health of patients with heart surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of the first phase of cardiac rehabilitation education on self- efficacy of men and women after the heart surgery.
Methods: This clinical trial study was conducted on 30 patients (14 females and 16 males) underwent the coronary artery bypass surgery. The patients were selected and randomly divided into two groups of men and women. Theoretical education and exercises of the first phase of rehabilitation were performed step by step under the supervision of a trained person using the pamphlets and educational booklets. Then, the self-efficacy questionnaire was completed in three stages before the intervention, at discharge time and one month after discharge by men and women. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance with repeated measures by the SPSS 16 software.
Results: Results of the analysis of variance showed that the total score of self-efficacy significantly increased in the two groups (men and women) compared to before the intervention (P < 0.001). However, no significant difference was found in the total score of self-efficacy between the two groups (P = 0.482).
Conclusions: The implementation of the first phase of cardiac rehabilitation improves the self-efficacy of men and women undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. This study reveals the individual capabilities of male and female patients in recovery period after the surgery. Also the findings show that their intensive participation in physical activity can increase self-efficacy and reduce the need for help.
