The purpose of this study was to identify the self-perception of the patients who have undergone open-heart surgery, and to identify and to test various factors which are closely related to self-perception of the patients after open-heart surgery.
Each subject´s self-perception was measured using 10 items semantic differential scale.
The data were collected through the prepared questionnaire and patient´s charts of the 111 patients who were visiting OPD for post operative follow up check in SNU hospital between 25th, April and 31th, May in 1983.
The findings obtained from this study were as follows:
1. Thirty nine subjects´ (35. 1%) reported self-perception were transformed from negative to positive after surgery.
Forty nine subjects´ (44. 1%) reported self-perception were continuously positive post operatively.
Total of 88 subjects´ (79.1%) reported post operative self-perception were positive. Postoperative self-perception transformed positively from preoperative self-percep-tion. (p<0. 01).
2. Factors influencing .postoperative self-perception, and preoperative self perception were tested by ANCOVA procedure.
There were no statistically significant differences between factors-number of medication, time passed from operation, kind of operation-
The .relationship between number of medication given post operatively and time passed from surgery showed significant difference.
