Abstract


Introduction: Eyes help us to appreciate the beauty of this world, experience the joy of learning new things & 80% of whatever we perceive comes from our vision. A cataract refers to the clouding or opacity of the typically transparent lens in the eyes. This condition can occur in one or both eyes and is a primary cause of global blindness. Material and Methods: The research approach was quantitative and design was quasi experimental pretest-posttest design. The sample size was 70 cataract patients. The sample technique was non-probability and divided into 2 phases purposive sampling technique was used to select 70 cataract surgery patients and Convenience sampling technique was used to divided the sample into experimental and control group. The tools used were Socio-Demographic Performa, Health History Performa, Structured Pre-Operative Anxiety Scale, Opinionnaire. Result: This study revealed that majority of the experimental group patients (60%) moved from moderate anxiety score to mild anxiety score. The experimental group exhibited a notable decrease in preoperative anxiety levels, with a mean pretest score of 29.85±1.33 and a reduced mean posttest score of 24.8±1.75. In contrast, the control group showed a slight decrease in pretest scores from 29.57±1.27 to a mean posttest score of 28.64±2.07. This suggests a significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups at a significance level of p<0.05. Conclusion: The study concluded that the Hand Massage on preoperative anxiety in patients posted for cataract surgery was effective because there was reduction in the preoperative anxiety after administering Hand Massage and taking opinion from interventional group.
