Abstract: Coronary artery disease patients who have been exposed to CABG surgery have greatly improved cardiac function and chances of survival. However, recovery is mainly dependent on postoperative quality of life and compliance with prescribed health behaviors, such as diet, exercise, and medication. To enhance quality of life, enhance adherence to prescribe health practices, improve long-term recovery, and decrease the risk of complications. The method was based on data collection from 153 CABG patients at two points in time: before and after treatment. The intervention provided structured support for motivating changes towards a healthy lifestyle. The statistical analysis consisted of adjusted R², regression analysis, and paired t-tests for assessing the outcome related to health behavior adherence and quality of life (QoL) at both pre and post-treatment phases. Post-treatment data revealed an improvement in quality of life among patients and commitment to healthy behaviors. Statistical analysis confirmed the effectiveness of the intervention, showing significant changes in both aspects. This intervention was successful in enhancing QoL significantly and fostering health behaviors in CABG patients. This evidence reveals that the provision of support following surgery plays an essential role in enabling health recovery. Thus, the improvement in outcomes of patients following CABG should focus on interventions encouraging lifestyle modifications by the health provider.
