Multimedia Education to Reduce Anxiety and Improve Care Awareness in Cataract Surgery Patients
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Cataract, Anxiety
In brief
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.
