Abstract

Objective To explore the factors affecting self-care ability, social support, and visual related quality of life in elderly cataract patients.
Methods This study selected 350 elderly cataract patients from our hospital as research samples and conducted a questionnaire survey on them. The questionnaire content included general population knowledge, self-care ability scale, perceived social support scale, and visual related quality of life scale.
Results The factors that affect the self-care ability of elderly cataract patients include education level, history of cataract disease, and the number of coexisting chronic diseases, and the differences are statistically significant (P<0.05). There is a significant positive correlation (P<0.01) between the self-care ability of elderly cataract patients and their perceived social support and visual related quality of life.
Conclusion   Improving social support and visual related quality of life have a positive promoting effect on enhancing the self-care ability of elderly cataract patients. Nursing staff can improve patients' quality of life and promote their self-care abilities by enhancing the support they receive from society and others.
