{{Background: }} The aim of the study was to find out the way of providing information preferred by patients after implantation of vascular prosthesis in lower extremities or abdominal aorta in order to develop a new educational material. {{Methods: }} The participants involved in the study had achieved at least 24 points of Mini Mental State Examination and had undertaken the surgery. The study was agreed by the institutions`s ethical committee and all the participants who had been informed about the study purpose prior to the dialogues. 15 structured dialogues were performed on the day before the discharge. The data analyses by open coding were performed by 3 independently working researchers. {{Results:}} 10 men and 5 women participated in the study. The participants` average age was 65.5 years (standard deviation being 8.733).
