| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Cardiothoracic surgeries are frequently performed for patients with cardiothoracic diseases. Improvements in long-term outcomes, recovery, complication risk, and quality of life for patients having cardiothoracic procedures can only be achieved by postoperative nursing interventions in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Aim: Compare the clinical results of patients having cardiothoracic surgery before and after the introduction of nursing interventions. Design: A quasi-experimental study design. Setting: The Cardio-Thoracic ICU at Tanta Main University Hospital was the site of this research. Subjects: An 80-person sample, consisting of 40 patients in each of the two groups, was randomly assigned to participate in this study after undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. Tools: The data was collected using three different instruments. First Tool: Open Heart Surgeries Patient Evaluation Form. Instrument II: Assessment of Sleep Quality Assessment Tool. Third Instrument: Numerical Rating Scale for Pain Assessment. Results: Both the study and the control group showed a substantial difference in sleep quality on days 2 and 3, with p <0.05. There was a noticeable difference in the quality of sleep between the study and the control group on days two and three, with p <0.05, respectively. Conclusion: Improvements in physiological indicators, sleep quality, and the degree of post-operative pain were some of the beneficial clinical outcomes demonstrated by nursing interventions for patients having cardiothoracic procedures. Recommendations: Healthcare providers should be encouraged to apply eye masks and earplugs regularly as part of routine nursing care and incorporating them into standard ICU protocols may enhance patient recovery, reduce stress, and support better overall outcomes. | ||||
