Discharge Planning for Patients after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting surgery (CABG): Application of Transition Theory
Keywords:
discharge planning, transition theory, coronary artery patients, coronary artery bypass grafting surgeryAbstract
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been used with a group of patients as a treatment to help bring more blood to the heart muscle. Relieving chest pain prevents the heart muscles that are below the blocked position from further deterioration. It also helps prevent sudden death and increases the ability of patients to perform certain activities. Theory of Transition is a middle-range theory that can be applied to discharge plan nursing. This has been used to assess, analyze, plan, implement, and evaluate nursing impacts related to patient status. The nurse’s roles in caring for patients include evaluating readiness for patients to live in a new environment, preparing patients and family, and supporting patients to increase the ability to care for themselves and modify behavior and lifestyle patterns. Reducing the number and severity of complications that may occur is a key to patient recovery. Further benefits include reducing the length of stay in the hospital, preventing re-admission and improving the quality of life of patients after heart and thoracic surgery
