Abstract
Background: Cataract is a common health issue in older people. The primary treatment is cataract surgery, which can lead to postoperative complications if appropriate care is not provided. Case management through an application can effectively promote self-care behaviors, ensure continuous support, and reduce the risk of complications following cataract surgery.
Objectives: To examine the effects of a case management application on complication prevention behaviors in elderly patients undergoing cataract surgery.
Methods: A quasi-experimental research study using a two-group pretest-posttest design was conducted. The sample consisted of 90 patients aged 60 and older who underwent cataract surgery at a university hospital in the central region of Thailand. The sample was allocated to the experimental and control groups, 45 each. Data were collected using a personal information questionnaire and a postoperative complication prevention behavior questionnaire. Data analysis included frequency, percentage, chi-square test, and t-test statistics.
Results: Elderly patients using the case management application had significantly higher postoperative complication prevention behavior scores than the control group (P<0.001) and showed a significant improvement compared to their pre-intervention scores (P<0.001).
Conclusions: Nurses can utilize the case management application to promote complication prevention behaviors in elderly patients after cataract surgery to enhance the continuity and effectiveness of care.
