Abstract
BACKGROUND Cataract surgery is an operation that requires significant cooperation from patients during the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative stages. A lack of knowledge about the steps involved or the potential impacts of the procedure may lead to anxiety and non-cooperation.
OBJECTIVE 1. to compare the knowledge scores of patients undergoing intraocular lens implantation before and after receiving a preoperative preparation program and 2. to compare the cooperation scores of patients during cataract surgery after participating in the preoperative preparation program at Chom Thong Hospital.
METHODS This study employed a quasi-experimental research design with two-group pretest-posttest comparison. The sample consisted of 52 patients undergoing cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation at Chom Thong Hospital, divided into an experimental group (n=26) and a control group (n=26).The research instruments included 1.preoperative preparation program 2. personal data record form 3. knowledge and self-care assessment questionnaire and 4. surgical cooperation assessment questionnaire, The validity of these instruments was established through expert review, and a pilot test was conducted with 26 participants. Reliability testing yielded Cronbach's alpha coefficients of 0.87 and 0.98 respectively. Data collection was conducted between December 2023 and May 2024. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics, specifically independent t-tests, to compare the outcomes between groups.
RESULTS After the intervention, the experimental group showed significantly higher knowledge and self-care scores than the control group (p < 0.001). Additionally, the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher cooperation scores during surgery compared to the control group (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The preoperative preparation program effectively increased the knowledge and self-care practices of cataract surgery patients, reduced their anxiety, and improved their cooperation during surgery.
