Effect of Nurse-Led Education and Tele-Interventions on Reducing Surgical Site Infections in Patients After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: a Clinical Trial

The Effect of Patient Education and Implementation of Teleinterventions by Nurses, on the Incidence of Surgical Wound Infections, in Patients After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

NCT06586749•Hellenic Mediterranean University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if nurse-led education and tele-interventions can reduce the incidence of surgical wound infections in patients after coronary artery bypass surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can nurse-led education reduce the rate of surgical wound infections after coronary artery bypass surgery? * Does the addition of tele-interventions further decrease the incidence of these infections compared to standard care? Researchers will compare three groups: * Group A: Standard postoperative care * Group B: Nurse-led patient education * Group C: Nurse-led patient education plus tele-interventions Participants will: * Receive standard care, nurse-led education, or nurse-led education with tele-interventions * Having regular follow-up as per group assignment * Monitor and report infection during the study period
