Abstract
Background: It is common for patients with cardiac surgery to experience physical and mental troubles after discharge from hospital and these complaints may substantially reduce self-care practice. Nowadays, there is an increasing interest in manipulating psychological factors as a means of enhancing surgical outcomes. The Alm: of this study is to evaluate the effect of resilience bundle on improving self-care practice for patients with cardiac surgery.
Research design: A Quasi-Experimental research design was used.
Subjects and Methods: A purposive sample of forty patients with cardiac surgery selected from cardiac outpatient clinic af Zagazig university hospitals. Two tools were used; "an interview questionnaire for the studied patients" and "Self-Administered Self-Care Practice Questionnaire".
Results: revealed that 85.0% of the studied patients were males, more than 40 years, married, educated, and living with their families. In the post and follow-up phases of the intervention, most (92.5% & 90.0% respectively) of the studied subjects had satisfactory total knowledge level regarding cardiac surgery Findings of the current study indicated statistically significant improvement among patients with cardiac surgery in self-care practice regarding nutrition, physical activity, managing psychological striks, pain medication control, self-relaxation state, and sleep quality after implementation of resilience bundle as there were high differences in the mean scores of items throughout the study phases (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Studied patients showed significant improvement in self-care practice after practicing resilience
bundle.
Recommendations: Similar study can be repeated by increasing sample size and possibly a trans-national study in order to further examine dependability of these results and generalizability
