Abstract
Introduction: The quality of life of patients is determined by the success of treatment for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) patients. In an effort to support the transformation of health technology and improve the quality of life of patients, a digital application platform is needed that aims to help health workers provide education to patients and families about their needs during the CABG procedure. Objectives: Creation of an Android-based application model to identify pre- and post-CABG surgery care needs in order to improve patient quality of life. Methods: This study used an exploratory sequential mixed method approach. Qualitative research is conducted with a phenomenological approach. While quantitative research uses the SF36 questionnaire to see the quality of life of patients after CABG. The number of participants is 18 CABG Patients.Results: Treatment in CABG patients is divided into 3 phases, namely the inpatient phase, the outpatient phase, and the maintenance phase. The needs of care in the Inpatient Phase are psychological needs, sleep breaks, physical activity, self-care, oxygenation, a sense of security and educational needs. Treatment needs in the Outpatient Phase are pain management, surgical wound care, medical needs, physical activity (exercise and mobilization), rest and education needs. The Need for the Maintenance Phase is the need for medical rehabilitation in fulfilling physical activity. The Digital Application Platform for nursing services "ATASI CABG" can be seen on the Google Playstore which can be accessed for free. Conclusions: Postoperative patient care needs are adjusted to the CABG patient care phase.
