The purpose of this study was twofold: first, to describe spouses' concerns and demands related to their partner's recovery from coronary artery bypass surgery (CABS) prior to discharge and at 1, 3, and 6 weeks following discharge; and second, to describe how spouses' concerns and demands change from the time of hospitalization through 6 weeks after discharge. The study used a descriptive panel design. Ninety females (82.696) and 19 (17.4%) males constituted the sample. Respondents' mean age was 60.7 years. Manifest content analysis revealed that spouses' concerns and demands changed from week to weekly The study firings support a convalescence trajectory and lend support for paying close attention to the timing of interventions after surgery and during early convalescence.
