[Continuing Nursing Care of Patients with Senile and Diabetic Cataract]
Purpose:
To explore the treatment and continuing nursing of patients diagnosed with senile and diabetic cataract.
Methods:
In total, 142 patients diagnosed with senile and diabetic cataract admitted to Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center from January to December 2014 were randomly assigned into groups A and B. In group A, patients received conventional instruction after discharge, and those in group B additionally received continuing nursing care after discharge including ocular nursing, use of anti-diabetic drugs, psychological nursing, diet nursing, self-monitoring guidance, re-examination and regular follow-up according to the patients' conditions.
Results:
After one year of continuing nursing care, visual acuity of patients in group B was increased without complications. Body mass index, the fasting and 2h postprandial plasma glucose, and the systolic and diastolic blood pressure were decreased significantly compared with those in group A (all P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Continuing nursing care, including knowledge education related to ocular use and diabetes mellitus, targeted psychological nursing, medication nursing and daily life guidance, play a pivotal role in enhancing the compliance rate of the patients, reducing the influence upon work and life and enhancing the quality of life to varying extent.
