Abstract

ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Effective prevention and management strategies can help reduce the incidence and burden of cardiovascular disease. Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program designed to help patients recover from cardiovascular disease, including Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. The research method used is an observational study through observation of patients with pain complaints that have passed for 2 months. The results showed independence, good mental performance, avoiding stress, maintaining healthy social compatibility, and regaining abilities. Faster recovery in cardiac surgery patients is correlated with an increase in their exercise capacity; therefore, these patients should be encouraged to undergo cardiac rehabilitation after discharge from the hospital. The first phase of the cardiac rehabilitation program aims to increase physical capacity, but unfortunately only a few hospitals complete this phase. In non-emergency CABG patients, the first phase involves moderate to vigorous walking with the aim of increasing exercise capacity and reducing the risk of atrial fibrillation. Such activity is associated with higher self-efficacy and, thus, higher confidence to continue the rehabilitation program among these patients. Higher feelings of self-efficacy maintain the belief in patients that they can experience positive changes.
