Efficacy of Evidence-based Nursing for Senile Cataract Complicated with Primary Angle-closure Glaucoma

Objective: To explore the efficacy and ocular indicator changes of evidence-based nursing in elderly patients with cataracts complicated with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) after surgery.

Methods: 100 elderly cataract patients combined with PACG treated in the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region between February 2019 and October 2020 were included in the study and equally assigned to a control group and an experimental group by random draw. The control group adopted conventional nursing, and the experimental group intervened with evidence-based nursing. A thorough analysis was conducted based on the comparison of nursing effectiveness, nursing satisfaction, complication rate at 1, 2, and 3 weeks after surgery, QLI (Quality of Life Index), PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), SPEED (Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness), SEEQ (Salisbury Eye Evaluation Questionnaire), eyesight and intraocular pressure between two groups of patients.

Results: The evidence-based nursing was more effective in treating patients with senile cataracts and PACG after surgery compared with routine care (P = .002). The patients in the experimental group were more satisfied with evidence-based nursing than those in the other group (P < .001). The experimental group yielded a more desirable outcome than the control group in terms of the complication rate of patients of the two groups at 1 week, 2 weeks, and 3 weeks after surgery (P = .02, .003, < .001). In contrast to the group with routine care, the evidence-based nursing group obtained significantly higher scores of QLI (P < .001), but intensely lower results of PSQI (P < .001). Lower SPEED and SEEQ results of the experimental group were observed, as compared to the control group (P = .001, < .001). The patients in the experimental group enjoyed better eyesight and intraocular pressure after the evidence-based nursing in comparison with the control group (both P < .001). The group with evidence-based intervention garnered a more desirable result than the group with routine care about the complication rate at 1, 2, and 3 weeks after surgery, PSQI, SPEED, SEEQ and intraocular pressure.

Conclusion: Evidence-based nursing intervention reaped huge fruits in the improvement of the efficiency and quality of nursing work and also in the optimization of the ocular indicators of patients, which is highly applicable in clinical practice.
