Fourteen patients who underwent primary pituitary adenoma resection in a Department of Neurosurgery in Suzhou from July 2017 to July 2018 were selected as research subjects. The confusion and information needs that occurred during the stage, and the analysis of interview data was analyzed using the content analysis strategy.Results:Five themes were extracted, "what did I get?""What should I do if I feel so uncomfortable?""Are my symptoms normal?""Should I have recovered after so long?" How to do it".Conclusions:During the diagnosis and treatment of patients with pituitary adenoma, medical staff should provide detailed and personalized information support based on general guidance and information needs that patients face at various stages.
