Discharge Education After Open Heart Surgery
Teach-Back Method and Podcast for Discharge Education After Open Heart Surgery: Randomized Controlled Trial
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of discharge education delivered by the teach-back method and by podcast on discharge readiness, self-efficacy, and postoperative recovery in patients undergoing open heart surgery. Ninety patients will be randomly assigned to a teach-back group, a podcast group, or a control group receiving routine care. Discharge readiness and self-efficacy will be measured on the day of discharge, and self-efficacy and postoperative recovery will be measured one month after discharge.

Descripción detallada
This three-arm, parallel-group randomized controlled trial (1:1:1) will enroll 90 adults undergoing first-time elective open heart surgery at University hospital in Turkey. The education content, covering wound care, pain, medications, daily activities, nutrition, psychological status, warning signs, and mechanical valve care, was reviewed by 5 experts. On the day before discharge, the teach-back group will receive education with the teach-back method, and the podcast group will listen to an audio recording of the same content. The control group will receive routine care. All patients will receive the clinic's standard brochure after discharge-day measurements. Randomization uses permuted blocks of varying sizes with sealed opaque envelopes, and outcomes will be assessed by a researcher on the day of discharge (face to face) and one month after discharge (by telephone).

Experimental: Teach-Back Group
Discharge education delivered using the prepared education content on the day before discharge. Patients explain the information in their own words; missing or incorrect information is repeated until the patient demonstrates understanding. The clinic's standard discharge brochure is given at discharge. |
Discharge education is given individually by the researcher on the day before discharge using the prepared education content (wound care, pain management, medication use, activities of daily living, compression stockings and sternal support vest, nutrition, psychological status, warning signs, and mechanical valve care). After the session, the patient explains the information in their own words; missing or incorrect information is re-taught until the patient demonstrates understanding.
