Multimedia Education to Reduce Anxiety and Improve Care Awareness in Cataract Surgery Patients
NCT07030946
Summary
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.
