Cardiovascular disease has multiple complications for the patient and can affect different aspects of their life. Important variables that are affected are self-efficacy and self-esteem. Patients face a considerable decrease in self-efficacy and self-esteem to overcome and manage their current condition. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the impact of an educational program on the self-efficacy of patients after coronary artery bypass surgery in the years<br> 2022-2023. </span></span></span><br> <span style="unicode-bidi:embed"><span style="line-height:115%"><b><span style="line-height:115%">Methods and Materials:</span></b><span style="line-height:115%"> This study is a clinical trial. Sixty-nine patients with a history of coronary artery bypass at Afshar Hospital in Yazd were selected using convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two groups: intervention and control. Two 40-minute educational sessions were conducted through practical demonstrations for the intervention group. Data collection tools included demographic questionnaires and self-efficacy scales for cardiac patients, completed before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 20 software. </span></span></span><br> <span style="unicode-bidi:embed"><span style="line-height:115%"><b><span style="line-height:115%">Results:</span></b><span style="line-height:115%"> Results showed that the average self-efficacy score in the intervention group significantly increased compared to the control group after the intervention (<i>p</i> = 0.05). </span></span></span><br> <b><span style="line-height:115%">Conclusion and Discussion:</span></b><span style="line-height:115%"> The findings of this study indicate that the use of an effective educational program can improve the self-efficacy of patients with a history of coronary artery bypass surgery.
