Examination of Chronic Fatigue in Patients with Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine of chronic fatigue in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Methods: The study was carried out with a total of 50 patients undergoing CABG surgery. The questionnaire was filled with socio-demographic characteristics of the patients. The Checklist Individual Strength (CIS) questionnaire for fatigue, The SF-36 questionnaire for the quality of life, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) for depression, and the 6 minutes walking (6MWT) test for functional exercise capacity were performed Results: The mean age of the patients was 63.54±8,86 years and the BMI was 28.83±3,83 kg/ m2. The mean total CIS score of the patients was 46.18 ± 26.25 and 12% of the patients were above the CIS threshold value of 76 points. A statistically significant correlation was found between the ages of the patients and the scores taken from the CIS-motivation (r = 0.03, p
