The findings showed there was a significant relationship between Delirium and emotional compatibility (r=0.663, p<0.000). The mean score of delirium was 19/43 ± 3/83. The results of regression analysis show that, age (19%) and emotional compatibility (43%) seeking predicted of delirium variance. Delirium after CABG surgery is more prevalent in patients with low emotional compatibility. Therefore, the importance of emotional compatibility on delirium after CABG can be the background for Multiple Nursing Interventions.
