Summary

Cardiovascular diseases are among the important health problems that cause mortality and morbidity both in our country and in the World (Sidar vd 2013). According to the data of the Turkish Statistical Institute (2021), circulatory system diseases were the first cause of mortality in our country in 2018 with a rate of 38.4%. According to the data of the World Health Organization, the disease that causes the most death in the world is ischemic heart disease with 16% (World Health Organization,2021).

In addition to acute care, the aim of education in patients with cardiovascular surgery is to support patients' self-care and post-operative recovery, to enable patients and their families to self-manage their care at home, to reduce postoperative complications and rehospitalization rates(Akyolcu vd 2017).

Training can be delivered using a combination of formats including brochures, online, books, audio cassette, videotape, and/or skype (Fredericks \& Yau, 2012). Booklets, brochures, tele-health, and web design methods were used in the training given to patients who had heart surgeries in previous years in our country.

In this study, the training booklet to be used in the education to be given to the patients will be prepared by the researchers. The content of the prepared training booklet will be presented to patients in the form of a mobile application that can run on smart phones with Android operating system so that patients can follow it. With this research, it is aimed to facilitate access to information and accelerate post-operative recovery. In the future, this practice will also contribute to reducing stationery costs.
