Abstract

Background Open-heart surgery in persons with cardiovascular disease is associated with high levels of anxiety. Objective The goal of this study was to determine the effect of digital storytelling on anxiety in patients who were candidates for open-heart surgery. Methods In this quasi-experimental study, 80 patients were randomly allocated into 2 groups. The intervention group received routine training and digital storytelling. In each group, anxiety was measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory anxiety scale before surgery and 5 days after surgery. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software V18. Results There was no significant difference in the anxiety of both groups during the 2 days before the surgery (P =.40). After the surgery, the mean of anxiety scores in the intervention group was lower than that of the control group (P <.001). Conclusions Digital storytelling is an effective method to reduce anxiety in patients who are candidates for open-heart surgery. © Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.
