“…These findings were similar to those of Artinian et al (1993), Barnason et al (2000), and Guadagnoli et al (1992), who reported that cardiac-related symptoms after CABG surgery and physical, psychological, or social recovery outcomes did not vary by age. However, findings from this study differed from others (Allen et al, 1998;Carroll, 1993;Gortner et al, 1988;Gortner, Dirks, & Wolfe, 1992;Redeker et al, 1995;Sauve & Fortin, 1996;Yates & Belknap, 1991), who found that being younger was a predictor of improvement in physical and psychological functioning in CABG patients. Thus, the association between age and negative mood states and age and recovery symptoms after cardiac surgery requires further study to clearly delineate these associations.…”

Recovery symptoms and related mood states during early recovery after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) have never been assessed in Thailand. This cross-sectional descriptive correlational study was to identify the relationships between frequency of recovery symptoms and mood states of a convenience sample of 91 Thai CABG patients during 2 weeks after discharge. Standardized tools/procedures were used to measure the variables of interest. The most common recovery symptoms were chest and leg incision pain, having trouble sleeping, and neck and shoulder or back discomfort. The most common mood states were confusion, anxiety, and anger, respectively. In addition, Thai CABG patients who had more frequent recovery symptoms also had greater negative mood disturbance. These findings provide a beginning explanation about the phenomena of recovery symptoms and mood states in a specific culture, Thai CABG patients.

In this article, the authors present a protocol study developed to evaluate the usefulness of the nursing diagnosis "high risk for ineffective management of therapeutic regimen" among patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Nursing interventions for increasing the CHF patient's abilities to perform therapeutic self-care for the promotion and maintenance of a prescribed medication regimen were evaluated based on predicted outcomes. Orem's self-care deficit theory of nursing provided the theoretical framework used in the protocol. Orem's supportive-educative nursing system was the approach used. Knowledge deficit was noted to be a major obstacle to maintaining the prescribed medication regimen among CHF patients. Comprehensive teaching of the patient, supported by a therapeutic nurse-patient relationship, was found to be the most important factor in the promotion and maintenance of a prescribed medication regimen among patients with CHF.
