The research approach selected for the study was quantitative research approach and Quasi-experimental study Time-series research design. The study was conducted at selected hospital at Rajkot.

The data was collected through Constipation Assessment Scale. The collected data were analyzed through descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage) and inferential statistics ('Annova-test' and chi-square) to test the hypothesis. The study shows that the calculated chi square value is below the level of tabulated value at the level of 0.05. Thus stated the hypothesis is rejected & null hypothesis was accepted. So its inferred that there is no significant association between the demographic variables and level of constipation among post-operative CABG patients. The obtained 'F' value 26.752 at 0.001 level hence the hypothesis was accepted. It is inferred that honey warm water was effective in reducing level of constipation among post-operative CABG.
