Aims and objectives. 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. Background. 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. Methods. 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. Results. 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). Conclusion. 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. Relevance to clinical practice. 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.

“…Therefore, interventions are required for CAD patients that not only improve knowledge of SLNTG, but also do so in relation to a specific chestpain action plan that addresses the individual patients' circumstances and includes relevant family members. 15 …”

“…9,13,14 However, notable knowledge deficits occurred in relation to the use of SLNTG to prevent angina symptoms in stable angina, which has been noted in the literature. 8,11,14,15 It is possible that lack of knowledge regarding the use of SLNTG to prevent angina symptoms reflects lack of experience in the majority of the study participants, who had little cause to use SLNTG to prevent predictable symptoms. However, studies with larger proportions of patients experienced with using SLNTG had similarly poor knowledge of preventive use, indicating a priority area for education.…”

“…11,12 On the other hand, most patients are reported to be aware of important safety requirements such as dosing and body position, 9,11,13,14 but are less aware of other safety requirements such as storage, prophylactic use, and when to seek medical assistance. 8,11,14,15 Several limitations were evident in the literature related to SLNTG knowledge in CAD patients. These limitations include lack of investigation of patients' knowledge of the role of SLNTG in relation to a chest-pain action plan, including appropriate responses when chest discomfort is unrelieved such as calling an ambulance.…”

Despite having CAD, 37% were not prescribed SLNTG, and of those prescribed, only 43% received related instruction. Knowledge of SLNTG was low at a mean 7.11 (SD, 2.05) points of a possible 14. Most participants (96%) knew to use SLNTG to treat chest pain/discomfort, and no participant described inappropriate symptoms for treatment. Although most patients (80%) knew to have the SLNTG available at all times, only 46% did so in reality. One in 5 participants reported that they would not call an ambulance if chest pain was unrelieved by SLNTG. Participants had more SLNTG knowledge if they were married, were male, and had been instructed about SLNTG and had less knowledge if their hospital discharge diagnosis included angina. The reporting of calling an ambulance for unrelieved symptoms was increased by having more knowledge of SLNTG, but decreased if participants had prior use of SLNTG, were married, or had more comorbidities. Consideration of prescription for SLNTG and related instruction, particularly for their chest-pain action plan, needs to be provided more systematically for patients with CAD.
