Multimedia Education to Reduce Anxiety and Improve Care Awareness in Cataract Surgery Patients

Официальное название

The Effectiveness of Multimedia Health Education Interventions in Reducing Surgical Anxiety and Enhancing Care Awareness Among Cataract Surgery Patients

Обзор

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of multimedia health education in reducing preoperative anxiety and enhancing self-care awareness among patients undergoing outpatient cataract surgery. A randomized group design will be employed, in which participants will receive either standard preoperative education or a multimedia-based intervention covering surgical procedures, precautions, and postoperative care. Primary outcomes include levels of surgical anxiety, assessed using validated anxiety scales, and self-care knowledge evaluated through structured questionnaires. Findings are expected to inform the development of patient-centered educational strategies and enhance perioperative care quality in cataract surgery settings.

Подробное описание

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of multimedia health education in reducing preoperative anxiety and improving postoperative care awareness among patients undergoing outpatient cataract surgery. A total of 118 patients scheduled for cataract surgery at an ophthalmology outpatient clinic will be randomly assigned to either the control group or the intervention group.

All participants will receive standard verbal preoperative instructions from their physician. In addition, the intervention group will view a 10-minute multimedia video covering the surgical procedure, precautions, and postoperative care. Baseline data-including demographics, visual acuity, physiological anxiety indicators, the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and a cataract-specific self-care knowledge questionnaire-will be collected during the final preoperative clinic visit.

Outcome data will be collected at three time points: before surgery, one week after surgery, and one month after surgery. Primary outcomes include changes in anxiety levels and self-care knowledge; secondary outcomes include physiological responses during surgery and postoperative visual recovery. The results are expected to support the use of multimedia education to enhance patient preparedness and care quality in cataract surgery.

Вмешательства

• Поведенческое Multimedia Health Education
  A 10-minute multimedia video is provided to the intervention group during their final preoperative clinic visit. All participants receive standard verbal and printed education from the ophthalmologist. The video includes visual and auditory content on cataract surgery, preoperative instructions, postoperative care, and common concerns. Baseline data (T0) are collected before the intervention, including demographics, visual acuity, physiological indicators, BAI, and self-care knowledge. Follow-up
