In the quantitative phase, a clinical trial is conducted and in a qualitative phase, the nested mixed method is conducted through directed content analysis. Patients in the intervention group will be interviewed during the study and the data will be analysed through thematic analysis, Randomization description: First of all, from patients with coronary artery bypass graft surgery and having inclusion criteria, a sample is selected according to the sampling method and based on balance block randomization method will be placed in cardiac rehabilitation group with education based on continuous care model (intervention) and the cardiac rehabilitation group (control). For this purpose, four sheets of paper are provided by the researcher, writing on two sheets “1” for “first” and on two “2” for second”. The paper sheets will be pooled, placed in a container, and randomly will be drawn one at a time for each patient without replacement until all four sheets are drawn. Then, the four paper sheets will be placed back into the container and this action will be repeated until the sample size is reached, Blinding description: The cardiac rehabilitation nurse performed the assessments at each time point; she was blinded to random allocation. N/A Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Intervention 1: Intervention group: after introduction of the study and statement of the purposes, the patients will provide informed consents and complete the demographics form, quality of life questionnaire and Depression, anxiety and stress scale. Also, an exercise test will be done with a treadmill. Then, the Continuous Care Model will be presented to the participants along with cardiac rehabilitation program for four months. The Continuous Care Model consists of four stages: (1) orientation, (2) sensitization, (3) control, and (4) evaluation. At the end of one and four months, quality of life questionnaire and Depression, anxiety, and stress scale will be completed and an exercise test will be done. Intervention 2: Intervention control: In this group, patients will receive cardiac rehabilitation according to the routine program rehabilitation center. Patients will participate 3 sessions a week for one hour during one month in a supervised rehab program.
