Abstract
Purpose: Assess the impact of planned discharge education and telephone follow-up of patients who underwent cataract surgery on daily living activities. Design: A controlled comparative study. Methods: This study was carried out on patients who underwent cataract surgery (intervention group = 72, control group = 72). Discharge education designed according to the Model of Living was used in the intervention group. Phone follow up was performed for both groups after surgery and activities were assessed. Findings: Significant differences were found between the two groups in applying eye drops, knowledge on using old eye glasses and protecting the operated eye, conditions requiring a physician call, conditions that may deteriorate the operated eye, personal hygiene, mobilization, and sleeping (P < .05). Conclusions: Using a Model of Living in discharge education of cataract patients and following up using a structured checklist was an effective intervention. This model can be efficiently used in postoperative education of day surgery patients.
