This article reports the findings of research about the concerns of open heart surgery (OHS) patients and their significant others (SOs) during the preoperative in-hospital waiting period. Concepts from the Roy Adaptation Model for Nursing framed this study and provided a basis for recognizing the problem, constructing instruments to measure the variable, analyzing and interpreting the data, and drawing implications from the findings. A convenience sample of 21 pairs of OHS and SO subjects reported data while awaiting surgery about demographic characteristics and concerns on self-administered instruments constructed for this research. A multitude of concerns was reported by the subjects, with some similarities and some differences between the OHS patients and their SOs. Implications for practice and theory are drawn, and suggestions for research are made.
本文报告了关于心脏直视手术（OHS）患者及其重要他人（SOs）在术前住院等待期的担忧的研究结果。护理的罗伊适应模式中的概念构成了本研究的框架，并为识别问题、构建测量变量的工具、分析和解释数据以及从研究结果中得出启示提供了基础。21对OHS患者及其SOs的便利样本在等待手术期间报告了有关人口统计学特征以及为本研究构建的自我管理工具上的担忧的数据。受试者报告了诸多担忧，OHS患者及其SOs之间既有一些相似之处，也有一些不同之处。得出了对实践和理论的启示，并提出了研究建议。
