Although coronary artery bypass surgery is an effective therapy for coronary artery disease, it could not stop the course of atherosclerotic change of coronary artery. Patients who have coronary artery bypass surgery must promote their self-care behaviors to postpone the recurrence of diseases. Previous studies have indicated that enhancing self-efficacy and social support could improve self-care behaviors of chronic disease patients. The researchers used descriptive correlation design and purposive sampling 80 subjects. Data was collected on patient characteristics questionnaire, self-efficacy, social support and self-care behavior scale. Independent t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation were used for data analysis. The results showed that the item of the highest and lowest score of total self-care behaviors was “return to clinics on schedule” and “check blood pressure regularly”. The total self-care behavior score is significantly higher in subjects who live alone and who quit smoking before surgery. The total self-care behaviors have no significant correlation with total social support, but have a significantly positive correlation with total self-efficacy. Therefore, according to the results, clinical nurses should increase self-efficacy of the patients who have coronary artery bypass surgery to promote their self-care behaviors and prevent recurrence of diseases. |
