Patients undergoing CABG surgery may change their quality of life, which is one of the major implications of this surgery. So surveying the quality of life is an important part of the treatment process. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of comparing the quality of life of patients before and after CABG in Ali ibn Abitalib hospital in Zahedan in 2016. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that was carried out before and after CABG surgery on 110 candidates of CABG who were selected by convenience sampling in Ali Ibn Abi Talib Hospital in 2016. Data were collected by Quality of Life Questionnaire (SF-36) in two stages before surgery and three months after surgery. Data analysis was done by using descriptive and analytical statistics tests in SPSS version 20 software. Results: The mean age of patients was 55.55±10.56 years. The most common comorbid disease among subjects was diabetes 18.38% of whom suffered from it. The results of MANOVA showed that quality of life before and after coronary artery bypass graft surgery is significantly different, so that quality of life and components of physical functioning, physical health disorder, emotional health disorder and social function versus before surgery showed significant increase (p<0.001). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the quality of life of patients with coronary artery disease increases after CABG surgery. It seems that provision of facilities for providing counseling and emotional support after a CABG surgery in person or phone, these patients will have an impact on improving quality of life. }, URL = {http://rjms.iums.ac.ir/article-1-4932-en.html}, eprint = {http://rjms.iums.ac.ir/article-1-4932-en.pdf}, journal = {Razi Journal of Medical Sciences}, doi = {}, year = {2018} }
