Abstract
Objective: To assess the effect of six-minute walk test on health-related quality of life in patients undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery at Iraqi center for heart diseases.
Material: This descriptive study was conducted from 8th August, 2022 to 10th January, 2023. A non-probability purposive sample of 50 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery at Iraqi center for heart diseases was included in the study. A questionnaire composed of three parts; sociodemographic and clinical data, six-minute walk test (6MWT) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were used. SPSS version 26 was utilized to analyze data.
Results: Patient’s performance showed highly significant statistical differences at p<0.05 between pre and posttest for all items except for mean arterial pressure. Majority of patients had highly significant HRQoL after 6MWT.
Conclusion: The 6MWT is important for improving HRQoL, due to its effect in enhancing patient’s physical activity and rehabilitation process following coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
