To explore the information needs of Yemeni patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery before hospital discharges and to examine the differences in the patients' learning needs according to age, gender, level of education and working condition.
Postcoronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients need more information before their discharge from the hospital. This need of information must be assessed and provided for them before their discharge from hospital to help them with adequate care and recovery at home. Design. A descriptive, correlational design.
Data were collected from 120 CABG patients before their discharge from Al- Thawra Hospital, Sana'a, Yemen, by using modified Cardiac Patients Learning Needs Inventory (CPLNI) instrument. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences was used to analyse the collected data.
The information about chest and leg wound care, medication information, other pertinent information and complications were indicated to be the most valued by CABG patients prior to discharge. There was a statistically significant difference between patients' total learning needs according to their socio-demographic characteristics. Male patients needed more information than female patients (p=0.004). Younger (p=0.021) and middle-aged (p=0.032) patients needed more information than older ones. Highly educated (p=0.000) and school-level (p=0.002) patients needed more information than those in the uneducated group. Working patients needed more information than non-working ones (p=0.000).
This study suggests that CABG patients have high information needs within 24-48 hours before hospital discharge. In addition, the results of this study showed that there are statistically significant differences in patients' learning needs according to their demographic characteristics.
Assessment of CABG patients' information needs before their discharge from hospital helps in developing effective educational programme that will help these patients in their recovery at home.
探讨在出院前接受冠状动脉旁路移植术（CABG）的也门患者的信息需求，并根据年龄、性别、教育程度和工作状况检查患者学习需求的差异。
CABG 术后患者在出院前需要更多信息。在出院前，必须评估并向他们提供这些信息需求，以帮助他们在出院后进行充分的护理和康复。设计：描述性、相关性设计。
从也门萨那的 Al-Thawra 医院出院的 120 名 CABG 患者通过使用改良的心脏患者学习需求清单（CPLNI）工具收集数据。使用社会科学统计软件包分析收集的数据。
在出院前，CABG 患者最看重有关胸部和腿部伤口护理、药物信息、其他相关信息和并发症的信息。根据患者的社会人口统计学特征，患者的总学习需求存在统计学差异。男性患者比女性患者需要更多信息（p=0.004）。年轻（p=0.021）和中年（p=0.032）患者比老年患者需要更多信息。高学历（p=0.000）和学校水平（p=0.002）患者比未受过教育的患者需要更多信息。在职患者比非在职患者需要更多信息（p=0.000）。
本研究表明，CABG 患者在出院前 24-48 小时内有很高的信息需求。此外，本研究结果表明，患者的学习需求根据其人口统计学特征存在统计学差异。
在出院前评估 CABG 患者的信息需求有助于制定有效的教育计划，帮助这些患者在家中康复。
