Nursing Intervention on Visual Quality after Excimer Laser Refractive Correction Operation / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To explore the impact of nursing intervention on the visual quality of patient after excimer laser refractive correction operation. Methods 400 patients, underwent excimer laser refractive correction operation and regularly followed up more than 6 months, were selected in our hospital from January to December in 2010. The clinical data of 200 patients without nursing intervention were analyzed as control group compared with those of 200 patients receiving nursing intervention as intervention group. Both groups were conducted routine nursing instruction before the operation. The intervention group was given systematic and normative nursing intervention besides routine nursing instructions, including psychological intervention, behavioral intervention, close observation, discovery of adverse reaction in time and giving early disposal. The cooperation reaction of the patients during the operation, and incidence of surgical complications during and post surgery were observed. Results Compared with the control group, the incidence of adverse reactions of visual influence such as incomplete valve during surgery, eccentric cutting after surgery, overcorrection, glare, and refractive regression were significantly lower (P<0.05). Conclusion The implementation of nursing intervention can reduce the adverse reaction of excimer laser refractive correction operation, alleviate the suffering of patients and promote visual quality after surgery.
