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 <0.05). It was found a positive correlation between the scores of the BDI and the CIS-total and a statistically significant relationship between the 6MWT results (p<0.05). The age, physical function and mental health subscale scores of the patients were determined to be significantly effective on the CIS total score (p <0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, age, physical function and mental health are the factors that most affects late period fatigue in patients undergoing CABG.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessfatigueChecklist Individual Strengthcoronary artery diseasebypass surgeryQuality-Of-LifePostoperative RecoveryElderly-PatientsExerciseReliabilityStrategiesSymptomsOutcomesWomenArticle10.30621/jbachs.2020.103442168189N/AWOS:000533600300015371115
