Influence factor of self-management among glaucoma patients undergoing day surgery
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2024, Vol 39, Issue 3
Abstract
[Objective:] To determine self-management and its association with self-efficacy and knowledge among glaucoma patients undergoing day surgery. [Methods:] A total of 223 glaucoma patients were recruited from September 2021 to May 2022and they were investigated with the Glaucoma Self Management Questionnaire (GSMQ), The Self-Efficacy in Chronic Disease Scale (SECD-6), and the glaucoma knowledge questionnaire. [Results:] Of the 223 study participants, the study population had a total GSMQ score of 54.03±6.95 with the lowest score found in the life adjustment dimension. The total SECD-6 score was showing a significantly positive correlation with the total GSMQ score (r=0.368, P<0.001). The total score of disease knowledge was without significant correlation with the total GSMQ score (r=0.077, P=0.252). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that self-efficacy (P<0.001) and education level was independently associated with self-management (P=0.028). [Conclusions] Glaucoma patients undergoing daytime surgery demonstrated good overall self-management, yet further improvement was required in terms of life adjustment. Low self-efficacy and educational level were identified as risk factors for self-management. Therefore, self-management programs should prioritize enhancing patients' self-efficacy and delivering individualized education.
