Abstract: The success of a coronary artery bypass graft surgery has been shown to be related to health‐related quality of life, and being able to predict this is extremely useful. We investigate the associations between health‐related quality of life and sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, and examine the impact of prior percutaneous coronary interventions on health‐related quality of life in Palestinian patients undergoing a coronary artery bypass graft for the first time. A cross‐sectional study was conducted on a convenience sample of 119 Palestinian patients. The Short Form‐36 Health Survey was applied 1 year after the coronary artery bypass graft surgery. An analysis of variance shows that as age increases, health‐related quality of life decreases. In contrast, the higher the level of education, job security, and salary, the higher the health‐related quality of life. Patients who had undergone prior percutaneous endovascular interventions had a worse health‐related quality of life than those who had not. In conclusion, a history of prior percutaneous endovascular interventions in addition to sociodemographic factors should be considered by nursing staff so that they can deliver high‐quality patient care.
