Effects of telemonitoring of the post-operative period of cataract surgery on the part of elderly patients: a randomized clinical trial

Abstract

Problem: Cataract extraction surgery has become increasingly frequent and, therefore, there is a need for strategies to assist surgical recovery and the post-operative follow-up of patients. Aims: To test the effect of phonecall follow-up intervention compared with conventional treatment of elderly patients in the post-operative period of cataract surgery; to analyze the impact of nursing diagnosis on delayed surgical recovery over four weeks in a group monitored by phone and in a control group. Method: a blind randomized clinical trial that is currently being conducted in a university hospital in the city of Niterói/RJ. The sample, obtained by sample calculation using the statistical analysis suggested by Pocock (1983), will be 48 individuals, equally and randomly divided into experimental and control groups.
