Objective: This study aimed to determine the effects of mindfulness meditation on the anxiety, self-efficacy, and quality of life of patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: Data of 124 patients who underwent CABG in our hospital from May 2020, to May 2022, were collected. In accordance with the presence or absence of mindfulness meditation, the patients were divided into control group (n = 64, conventional cardiac rehabilitation) and observation group (n = 60, conventional cardiac rehabilitation + mindfulness meditation). The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), quality of life, and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results: No significant difference was observed in the HAMA, GSES, and quality-of-life scores between the two groups after operation (p > 0.05). After the intervention, the HAMA score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (p < 0.05), and the GSES and quality of life scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (p < 0.05). The total incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group (5.00%) was lower than that in the control group (7.81%), without significant difference (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The use of mindfulness meditation for patients undergoing CABG is beneficial to relieve anxiety and improve their self-efficacy and quality of life, hence worthy of adoption.
