Tailoring discharge teaching information to the unique learning needs of cardiac surgery patients and their caregivers may improve information acquisition and retention and positively influence the transition home for these individuals. Two questionnaires were developed, one for adult cardiac surgery patients, and one for their caregivers, to explore their self-identified information needs regarding discharge teaching information. The questionnaires were adapted from the Patient Learning Needs Scale of Bubela et al. (1990). The content of the questionnaires was based on informal discussions with patients and their caregivers and nurses of the cardiac surgery department of a university teaching hospital. In addition, previous research exploring discharge teaching content post cardiac surgery and perceived discharge information needs of this population was reviewed. Preliminary testing of the tools indicated content validity. The questionnaires may enhance the efficiency and quality of discharge teaching, as they enable nurses to address the unique information needs of patients and caregivers. This, in turn, may assist patients and caregivers to cope with the transition home. Formal piloting and evaluation of the tools with all stakeholder groups is indicated, in order to determine the effectiveness of the questionnaires and to evaluate and validate their content and format.
根据心脏手术患者及其护理人员独特的学习需求定制出院指导信息，可能会提高信息的获取和留存率，并对这些患者回家过渡产生积极影响。为此编制了两份问卷，一份针对成年心脏手术患者，另一份针对其护理人员，以探究他们在出院指导信息方面自我认定的信息需求。问卷改编自布贝拉等人（1990年）的《患者学习需求量表》。问卷内容基于与一所大学教学医院心脏外科患者及其护理人员和护士的非正式讨论。此外，还回顾了以往关于心脏手术后出院指导内容以及该人群感知到的出院信息需求的研究。工具的初步测试表明其具有内容效度。这些问卷可以提高出院指导的效率和质量，因为它们能使护士满足患者和护理人员独特的信息需求。反过来，这可能有助于患者和护理人员应对回家过渡。为了确定问卷的有效性并评估和验证其内容与形式，表明需要对所有利益相关群体进行正式试用和评估。
