Effectiveness of a preoperative teaching programme for cataract patients

M Allen et al. J Adv Nurs. 1992 Mar.

Abstract

Shortened hospital stays have necessitated examination of alternative approaches for pre and postoperative teaching. An investigation of one alternative became a study in which a home care preoperative teaching programme for older adults undergoing cataract extractions with lens implants was implemented and evaluated. The findings indicated that the teaching programme was effective and resulted in positive benefits.
