Abstract
BACKGROUND

Cataracts are a common ophthalmic disease and postoperative vision recovery is crucial to patient quality of life. Rational and efficient care models play an important role in promoting vision recovery.

AIM

To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of procedural nursing care combined with communication intervention in vision recovery after cataract ultrasound emulsification.

METHODS

A randomized controlled study was conducted on 100 patients with cataracts who underwent ultrasound emulsification surgery. They were randomly assigned to an experimental group or a control group. The experimental group received procedural nursing combined with Connect, Introduce, Communicate, Ask, Respond, Exit (CICARE) communication intervention, whereas the control group received conventional nursing. The effectiveness of the nursing model was assessed by comparing differences in vision recovery, pain scores, and mental health status between the two groups.

RESULTS

It was found that over time the visual acuity of patients in both groups gradually recovered and patients in the experimental group had lower pain scores and superior mental health status than the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Procedural nursing combined with CICARE communication intervention has positive effects on vision recovery in patients after cataract ultrasound emulsification.

Core Tip: Sequential nursing care combined with Connect, Introduce, Communicate, Ask, Respond, Exit communication intervention effectively promoted visual recovery and reduced pain after cataract ultrasonoemulsification surgery.
