This study aims to evaluate the effect of a nurse-led preoperative navigation program on preoperative anxiety, perceived quality of perioperative nursing care, and serum cortisol levels in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. A total of 60 patients scheduled for CABG surgery will be recruited from the cardiovascular surgery clinic and randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n=30) or the control group (n=30). Patients in the intervention group will receive a structured nurse-led preoperative navigation program, including verbal education and an animated video about the surgical and operating room process. Patients in the control group will receive standard perioperative care. Preoperative anxiety, serum cortisol and glucose levels, and perceived quality of perioperative nursing care will be assessed at specified time points.
