Abstract
This quasi-experimental research, two-group posttest only design, aimed to study the effects of a health belief promotion program on complication prevention behaviors among older people with post-operation of phacoemulsification with intraocular lens prothesis. The sample consisted of 50 older people who underwent phacoemulsification with intraocular lens prothesis. They were divided into a control group and an experimental group, 25 people in each group. Data were collected between April and June 2024. The research instruments consisted of 1) a health belief promotion program, 2) a health belief promotion manual for older people with cataracts who underwent phacoemulsification with intraocular lens prothesis, 3) a video on eye cleaning and eye drops. The instruments were examined for content validity by three experts, 4) a questionnaire on general information of the elderly, and 5) a questionnaire on behaviors to prevent complications after the phacoemulsification with intraocular lens prothesis. The content validity index was calculated to be .91 and reliability coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) was calculated to be .80. Personal data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including descriptive statistics and Independent T-test.
The results of the study found that the mean score of complication prevention behavior of older people with phacoemulsification with intraocular lens prothesis in the post-experimental period between the experimental group receiving the health belief promotion program was significantly higher than the control group receiving routine nursing (p <. 05).
The recommendations from this study show that after phacoemulsification with intraocular lens prothesis, the older people who participated in the health belief promotion program were able to effectively prevent complications such as postoperative infection, wound detachment, anterior chamber bleeding, uveitis, and lens dislocation. Therefore, the health belief promotion program should be promoted for further trial to test its effectiveness.
