Abstract: Background: Postoperative care strategies, such as self-care education and cardiac rehabilitation, are critical in mitigating readmissions and enhancing patient outcomes following Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to design and develop a program that leads to acceptance, increased insight, and appropriate action to control the disease and its potential psychological complications. Methods: This randomized control trial involved 140 patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass surgery at a rehabilitation clinic in 2023. The intervention followed the Continuous Care Model, encompassing familiarization, sensitization, control, and evaluation phases. Results: Post-intervention, the intervention group exhibited a significantly higher mean quality of life score than the control group (p < 0.001). Furthermore, a notable difference in mean sleep quality scores between the control and intervention groups was observed post-intervention (p = 0.026). Discussion: Patient education based on the Continuous Care Model effectively enhances quality of life sleep and reduces fatigue in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. Translation to Health Education Practice: The study provides empowerment through patient and family education on self-care practices. Implementing of the Continuous Care Model as a non-invasive, cost-effective method can be considered in the patient education unit of hospitals.
