To explore the process that women undergo when having cardiac surgery.
A grounded theory approach was used to gain an understanding of the core process.
A large community hospital with an active cardiovascular surgery practice and research center.
Ten women, between 21 and 79 years of age, who had undergone cardiac surgery in the last 3 months.
Behaviors in which the women were engaged when having cardiac surgery were directed toward "preserving the self" while getting through the surgical experience. This process had five phases: waiting, getting there, surviving, being there, and moving on. Strategies used by these women in preserving the self throughout the phases were: relating, making sense of, managing, and normalizing what was happening to them.
By having a clearer understanding of the process women undergo when having cardiac surgery, health care providers will be able to participate more effectively with women through their experience.
探讨女性接受心脏手术时所经历的过程。
采用扎根理论方法来理解核心过程。
一家拥有活跃心血管外科手术业务和研究中心的大型社区医院。
10名年龄在21岁至79岁之间、在过去3个月内接受过心脏手术的女性。
这些女性在接受心脏手术时所参与的行为旨在在度过手术经历的同时“保全自我”。这个过程有五个阶段：等待、前往、存活、身处其中以及继续前行。这些女性在各个阶段保全自我所采用的策略包括：建立联系、理解所发生之事、应对以及使所发生的事情正常化。
通过更清楚地了解女性接受心脏手术时所经历的过程，医疗保健提供者将能够在她们的经历中更有效地与她们互动。
