Abstract

Background: Cataract surgery is one of the most common and effective interventions in ophthalmology, significantly improving patients’ vision and quality of life. However, non-adherence to post-operative treatment is a common issue, affecting treatment outcomes and increasing the risk of complications. Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the results of an intervention designed to change knowledge and practices among non-compliant patients after cataract surgery at Ca Mau Eye-Dermatology Hospital in 2023-2024. Materials and Methods: A pre-post-intervention study without a control group was conducted on 153 patients who did not adhere to post-operative treatment after cataract surgery. Results: The majority of patients were 60 years old or older (85.6%), with a nearly equal male-female ratio. Before the intervention, the rate of correct knowledge about adherence to eye drop treatment was 58.2%, and correct practice was only 16.3%. After the intervention, these rates significantly increased to 90.2% and 71.2%, respectively. This difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: After the intervention, the rates of correct knowledge and practice of eye drop treatment adherence significantly increased compared to before the intervention. Therefore, the intervention to change knowledge and practices among non-adherent patients after cataract surgery is effective. Therefore, interventions such as enhancing educational programs and similar ones should be implemented to help improve treatment adherence in patients after cataract surgery.
