Resumen

Cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation requires comprehensive post-operative self-care during home recovery, yet the multivariate relationships between patient factors and self-care behaviors remain inadequately understood. This cross-sectional study examined factors influencing self-care among 111 post-cataract surgery patients at Nakhon Phanom Hospital, Thailand, from May 2023 to January 2024. Data were collected using validated questionnaires that measured demographic characteristics, postoperative symptoms, self-care behaviors, and anxiety levels. Multiple linear regression analysis identified six significant predictors explaining 98.8% of the variance in self-care behaviors: education level (the most potent positive predictor), anxiety levels (the strongest negative predictor), age, healthcare entitlement, post-operative symptoms, and operated eye. Self-care behaviors in post-cataract surgery patients are multifactorially determined, with education level and anxiety being the most influential factors. These findings support the development of comprehensive, individualized care models that address both clinical and psychosocial factors during home recovery, enabling healthcare providers to implement systematic assessment protocols and tailor interventions for optimal patient outcomes.
