Abstract

When patients undergoing cardiac surgery are discharged, they may have questions that cause anxiety and
insecurity because they will be away from the constant surveillance of the health team. Therefore, the aim of the present
study was to identify the questions patients in the postoperative period of myocardial revascularization had concerning
the rehabilitation period. To perform this qualitative study, we have used sociodemographic characterization charts and
semi-structured interviews. The sample was formed by ten patients and the most frequent questions were those concerning
dietary re-education, physical exercises practice, returning to work, symptoms that can be present after discharge, common
daily activities, problems with surgical incision, sexual activity, alcohol use, and medication use. Thus, nurses should
know patients’ questions so that individualized interventions can be developed focusing on preventing complications.
