Interventions

  • AI-Supported Individualized Discharge Education — BEHAVIORAL
    This intervention consists of personalized discharge education generated by an advanced artificial intelligence system (ChatGPT) based on the patient's clinical, social, and psychosocial characteristics. The content is structured into 6 main topics and 24 sub-sections. The script is converted into a nurse-avatar video and delivered to the patient via a mobile device. This intervention is provided in addition to the standard verbal discharge education routinely given by cardiovascular surgery nurses.
  • Standard Discharge Education — BEHAVIORAL
    This intervention consists of routine verbal discharge education provided by cardiovascular surgery nurses according to standard hospital protocols. It includes essential postoperative instructions, medication guidance, wound care instructions, activity recommendations, and follow-up information. No AI-generated or video-based educational materials are provided in this intervention.

Study Details

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effectiveness of artificial intelligence-supported individualized discharge education for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Participants will be assigned to either the intervention group, which will receive personalized AI-generated discharge education delivered through a nurse-avatar video in addition to standard verbal education, or the control group, which will receive standard discharge education only. The study will compare postoperative pain, anxiety, physiological stress response, recovery, and satisfaction with discharge education between the two groups. Outcomes will be measured during hospitalization and at the routine postoperative follow-up visit. The findings may help improve patient education methods and postoperative recovery in cardiac surgery patients.

Arms

  • Experimental: AI-Supported Discharge Education
    Participants in this arm will receive individualized discharge education generated by an artificial intelligence system (ChatGPT) and delivered through a nurse-avatar video. This education covers 6 main topics and 24 subcomponents tailored to the patient's clinical, social, and psychosocial characteristics. Participants will also receive the standard verbal discharge education routinely provided by cardiovascular surgery nurses.
  • Active Comparator: Standard Discharge Education
    Participants in this arm will receive only the standard verbal discharge education routinely provided by cardiovascular surgery nurses, based on hospital discharge protocols. No AI-generated or video-based educational materials will be used in this group.

Primary Outcome Measure

Pain Intensity [ Time Frame: Baseline (1 day before discharge), pre-discharge (within 24 hours before discharge), and 4 weeks (±3 days) post-discharge ]
