Significant Difference

Worldwide, the number of coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) surgeries significantly increased. To develop effective discharge planning and avoid complications, patients learning needs are essential to be examined. The study examined the difference between patients’ and nurses’ perceptions of post-CABG learning needs and the relationship between patients’ and nurses’ demographic variables and the perceptions of the learning needs. This study included 180 participants (90 nurses, 90 patients). Data were collected from two cardiac centers in Oman using a modified cardiac patient learning need inventory and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings showed: (1) there was a significant difference in perceived learning needs between nurses and patients, and (2) patients’ learning needs differed significantly by gender, marital status, education, and occupation. This study highlights that post-CABG patients’ learning needs should be assessed despite patients’ demographical characteristics to individualize education planning and prevent complications.

Gender differences in the preoperative profiles and postoperative outcomes of patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery raises the question of whether gender also influences learning needs that may necessitate different approaches to the education of these vulnerable patients.The purpose of this study was to examine if learning needs differed between males and females after CABG surgery in the immediate period prior to and after discharge.This secondary analysis utilized a non-experimental, descriptive-comparative design based on existing data. The sample was selected based on a matched-pairs sampling method (32 males, 32 females). Learning needs were assessed through the use of the Patient Learning Needs Scale. Significant gender differences were found in the rank ordering of learning needs and the type of learning needs relating to physical activities only after discharge. These finding suggest that gender and the timing of appraisal may influence the learning needs of patients after CABG surgery.

Nurses Perceptions

ABSTRACT: Objectives: Little is known about nurses’ and patients’ perceptions of learning needs following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in Oman. This study aimed to identify patients' and nurses' perceptions of post-CABG learning needs. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in two cardiac units in Oman between February and April 2018. Participants were from step-down units and perceptions of post-CABG learning needs were collected using a modified version of the Cardiac Patients Learning Need Inventory (MCPLNI) questionnaire. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: A total of 90 patients and 90 nurses were included in this study (response rate: 100%). Nurses perceived information about chest and leg wound care, medications and complications as patients’ most important learning needs (4.89 ± 0.31, 4.84 ± 0.33 and 4.78 ± 0.45, respectively). Similarly, patients perceived a need for post-CABG learning related to chest and leg wound care, complications and medication, while learning related to physical activity received a moderate priority (4.92 ± 0.20, 4.80 ± 0.45, 4.85 ± 0.26 and 3.50 ± 1.34, respectively). Conclusion: Before discharging patients, they should be provided with specific information related to post-CABG care. It is essential to assess patients’ learning needs and incorporate those learning needs into discharge plans.Keywords: Learning; Perception; Coronary Artery Bypass; Education; Patients; Nurses; Oman.

The Mean

SummaryPatients undergoing surgery for coronary artery bypass graft or heart valve replacement had their platelet count and mean volume measured pre-operatively, immediately post-operatively and serially for up to 48 days after the surgical procedure. The mean pre-operative platelet count of 1.95 ± 0.11 × 1011/1 (n = 26) fell significantly to 1.35 ± 0.09 × 1011/1 immediately post-operatively (p <0.001) (n = 22), without a significant alteration in the mean platelet volume. The average platelet count rose to a maximum of 5.07 ± 0.66 × 1011/1 between days 14 and 17 after surgery while the average mean platelet volume fell from preparative and post-operative values of 7.25 ± 0.14 and 7.20 ± 0.14 fl respectively to a minimum of 6.16 ± 0.16 fl by day 20. Seven patients were followed for 32 days or longer after the operation. By this time they had achieved steady state thrombopoiesis and their average platelet count was 2.44 ± 0.33 × 1011/1, significantly higher than the pre-operative value (p <0.05), while their average mean platelet volume was 6.63 ± 0.21 fl, significantly lower than before surgery (p <0.001). The pre-operative values for the platelet volume and counts of these patients were significantly different from a control group of 32 young males, while the chronic post-operative values were not. These long term changes in platelet volume and count may reflect changes in the thrombopoietic control system secondary to the corrective surgery.
