Objective: The aim of this investigation is to determine, post-discharge learning needs of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study included a total of 171 patients who underwent CABG surgery between June 2014 and December 2015 in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of a University Hospital. Approval of Malatya University Clinical Research Ethics Committee was obtained for the conduction of the survey (Decision No: 2013/75). For data collection, Personal Information Form and Patient Learning Needs Scale were used. Analysis of data was performed using SPSS statistical software version 17.0. Results: The 42.7% of the patients who participated in the study were 43-55 years old (lrange t 43-72 years) and 56.1% of them were male. The patients most frequently indicated the need for getting informed about their postdischarge daily living activities (32.14±7.56, level of significance=3.57) and the least frequently related to the feelings about their condition (15.03±4.27, level of significance=3.00). Higher need of post-discharge learning in patients aged between 30 and 42 years, in males, in university graduates, in patients with an income exceeding their expenses and in patients receiving care from their partners. However, a statistically significant difference was seen only in comparisons made according to age, marital status and the caregiver (p<0.05). Conclusion: In order to meet the care needs of patients after the coronary artery bypass graft surgery, post-discharge training may be recommended considering the socio-demographic characteristics of the patients.
