The researcher applied the experimental approach (two-group design) with pre- and post-measurements. Research community included all open-heart surgery male patients (40-50 years) from Magdi Yacoub' Institute for heart diseases and research. Sample (n=16) was purposefully chosen after approval of the responsible physician and written consents of patients. Participants were divided into two groups (experimental = control = 8).
