INTRODUCTION: The discharge of cardiac surgery patients is a fondamental phase in their post-operative recovery. Adequate nursing education during this phase can have a significant impact on treatment adherence, the prevention of complications and the patient's quality of life. OBJECTIVE. To describe the strategic role of nursing education in the discharge of cardiac surgery patients, identifying priority educational topics and the most appropriate operational tools to effectively support care practices. METHODS. A literature review was conducted by consulting the PubMed, Cinahl, and Galileo Discovery databases, setting a time limit of ten years and selecting articles in English and Italian. RESULTS. 37 articles meeting the inclusion criteria were selected: 3 systematic reviews with meta-analyses, 5 systematic reviews, 14 randomised controlled trials, 1 pilot study, 2 qualitative analyses, 4 observational studies, 4 experimental studies, 1 critical review and 3 narrative reviews. CONCLUSIONS. The comparative analysis showed that personalized, multi-component, and continuous educational interventions, supported by protocols and digital tools, have a positive impact on therapeutic adherence, continuity of care, and the prevention of post-operative complications. The use of multimodal communication methods, learning assessment through teach-back, and caregiver involvement are key elements in facilitating the transition of cardiac surgery patients from hospital to home. Structured, evidence-based, person-centered educational programs can lead to a considerable improvement in clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

INTRODUZIONE: La dimissione del paziente cardiochirurgico rappresenta una fase fondamentale nel percorso di recupero post-operatorio. Un’adeguata educazione infermieristica in questa fase può incidere in modo rilevante sull’aderenza terapeutica, sulla prevenzione delle complicanze e sulla qualità di vita del paziente. OBIETTIVO. Descrivere il ruolo strategico dell’educazione infermieristica nella dimissione del paziente cardiochirurgico, identificando le tematiche educative prioritarie e i dispositivi operativi più idonei a sostenere efficacemente la pratica assistenziale. METODI. È stata condotta una revisione della letteratura mediante consultazione dei database Pubmed, Cinahl e Galileo Discovery, inserendo un limite temporale di dieci anni e selezionando articoli in lingua inglese ed italiana. RISULTATI. Sono stati selezionati 37 articoli rispondenti ai criteri di inclusione: 3 revisioni sistematiche con meta-analisi, 5 revisioni sistematiche, 14 studi controllati randomizzati, 1 studio pilota, 2 analisi qualitative, 4 studi osservazionali, 4 studi sperimentali, 1 revisione critica e 3 revisioni narrative. CONCLUSIONI. L’analisi comparata ha evidenziato che interventi educativi personalizzati, multicomponenti e continuativi, supportati da protocolli e strumenti digitali, incidono positivamente sull’aderenza terapeutica, sulla continuità assistenziale e nella prevenzione delle complicanze post-operatorie. L’utilizzo di modalità comunicative multimodali, la verifica dell’apprendimento tramite teach-back e il coinvolgimento dei caregiver rappresentano elementi chiave nel facilitare la transizione del paziente cardiochirurgico dall’ospedale al domicilio. Programmi educativi strutturati, basati sulle evidenze e incentrati sulla persona, possono determinare un miglioramento considerevole degli esiti clinici e della soddisfazione del paziente.
