What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if nurse-led education and tele-interventions can reduce the incidence of surgical wound infections in patients after coronary artery bypass surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can nurse-led education reduce the rate of surgical wound infections after coronary artery bypass surgery? * Does the addition of tele-interventions further decrease the incidence of these infections compared to standard care? Researchers will compare three groups: * Group A: Standard postoperative care * Group B: Nurse-led patient education * Group C: Nurse-led patient education plus tele-interventions Participants will: * Receive standard care, nurse-led education, or nurse-led education with tele-interventions * Having regular follow-up as per group assignment * Monitor and report infection during the study period
