Abstract
Introduction:
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is the leading cause of death and morbidity worldwide. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most common complex surgical procedure for patients with CVD. Inpatient cardiac rehabilitation (ICR) is implemented in the immediate post-care surgical phase and includes patient education. However, existing education packages lack patient centredness and are not co-produced with patients and clinicians.
Methods
Whittemore and Knafl's methodology guided this review. This process included five database searches, data evaluation, data integration, and presentation of results. Studies that addressed Phase1/ inpatient phase cardiac rehabilitation after cardiac surgery between 2000 to 2021 were included. Included studies were appraised using the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool (2018), and an inductive content analysis was adopted to analyse the data.
Results
607 articles were screened using the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and five articles were included in this review. The integrative review findings (phase 1) indicate the need for a multidisciplinary and patient-centred ICR. Including families and patients' peers when delivering an ICR and having religious faith are essential enablers to participation in ICR. In contrast, barriers to participation in ICR include inconsistent referrals to cardiac rehabilitation and detachment from patients' needs and views.
Discussion
ICR delivered during the immediate postoperative phase constitutes the first stage of cardiac rehabilitation. This period creates the most significant opportunity for patients to be educated on their physical recovery, especially if they do not attend subsequent phases of cardiac rehabilitation delivered in primary healthcare.
