Results showed that heart surgery patients used 29.4 coping behaviors prior to surgery and 30.2 as well after surgery. "Trust doctor*s treatment", "face the fact", and " cooperation with doctors and nurses" at pre-operation, and "cooperation with doctors and nurses", "caring and support from family and friends", " sick role" and "trust doctor*s treatment" at post-operation were used most often for these patients during hospitalization. Problem-focused coping behaviors were used more often and with better effect than those of emotional-focused coping behaviors.
