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.

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-ups occur at T1 (surgery day), T2 (1 week postop), and T3 (1 month postop), assessing anxiety, physiology, vision, and self-care.
