Objective: Cardiac surgery due to its-associated stressors has the potential physiological, psychological, emotional, and\nspiritual consequences. Assessment of stressors needs to nurses and patients understanding these factors that are different\nfrom each other. The aim of this study was to determine nurse-patient perception of stressful factors in patients undergoing\ncoronary artery bypass surgery (CABG).\nMaterials and Methods: It was a descriptive comparative study on patients who underwent CABG and were hospitalized\nat cardiac surgery wards between the third and fifth days after operation and also on nursing caregivers of these patients\nworking in these wards. The Revised Cardiac Surgery Stressor Scale (RCSSS) was used for assessing related stressors after\ndetermining its reliability and validity. The data analysis was performed by SPSS and with descriptive statistical methods\n(frequency, percent, mean �± standard deviation) and inferential statistical analysis was performed.\nResults: According to overall mean RCSSS score, the perception of stressors in nurses was significantly higher than patients\n(2.38 �± 0.56 versus 1.65 �± 0.44) and the nurse-patient understanding was different for interpersonal, intrapersonal, and\nextra-personal stressors.\nConclusion: According to the results, nurses can generally assess their patients in terms of interpersonal, intrapersonal, and\nextra-personal stressors and train them according to the needs of patients. It can help them to personal assessment of the\npatients and facilitate their adaptation.
