Preoperative anxiety is common in surgical patients; high levels of anxiety may affect postoperative pain control and physical and psychological recovery. This program aimed to reduce the preoperative anxiety of patients undergoing intraocular injection and improve patient satisfaction with health education. By analyzing the existing scenario, we found that the preoperative anxiety level of patients undergoing intraocular injection was 8.56 points. The primary reasons were a lack of surgical health education resources, incomplete and inconsistent health education content, anticipatory anxiety, a lack of understanding of the surgical process, a lack of appropriate timely health education intervention, and a lack of in-service education on surgical care. Patients’ preoperative anxiety score decreased from 8.56 to 5.09 points (hospital anxiety and depression scale, HADS; 21 points total), and satisfaction with health education increased from 62.6% to 96.8% through the use of surgical health education leaflets, checklists, and multimedia health education videos, as well as by increasing the frequency of analgesic eye drops application during surgery and playing health education videos in the waiting area of the operating room. The implementation of this program reduced preoperative anxiety, improved patient satisfaction and enhanced the patients’ ability for self-care. |
