Abstract | Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a significant contributor to global morbidity and mortality rates. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is a critical intervention for patients with coronary artery disease, yet it poses psychological challenges that can impact recovery. : This prospective cohort study, conducted across six hospitals in the West Bank/Palestine, aimed to assess changes in depression, anxiety, and stress levels among CABG patients and identify associated factors. The Arabic version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) was administered before (one week) and after surgery (two and three weeks). : Of the 200 participants, 116 were men (58%). High levels of depression, anxiety, and stress were observed both before and after surgery, with statistically significant reductions in all these variables after surgery ( < 0.001). Regarding demographic factors, age displayed a weak positive correlation with depression (r = 0.283; < 0.001), anxiety (r = 0.221; = 0.002), and stress (r = 0.251; < 0.001). Sex showed a weak correlation with stress pre-surgery (r = -0.160; = 0.024). : Patient outcomes could be improved by early identification and the provision of efficient treatments such as psychosocial therapy both before and after surgery. |
