Background For better treatment outcome, exploring the knowledge of glaucoma and practices among glaucomatous patients is much more important. Objective The aimed of this study was to determine the knowledge and self-care practice and their associated factors towards glaucoma and its medications among glaucoma patients. Methods Cross section design study was conducted between May and July, 2017. The data was collected from glaucoma patients. Descriptive statistics was done to summarize socio demography data and associated factors with good knowledge and good practice were determined using binary logistic regression. Statistically significant variables were generated by considering p-value < 0.05. Results A total of 360 glaucoma patients were participated in this survey. The median age of the participant was 65 years. About 177 (49.25%) (95%CI: 43.9, 54.4) had good knowledge and a total of 197 or 54.7% (95%CI: 49.4, 59.7) had good practice about glaucoma and its medical treatments. The factors such as residence, marital status, educational status and stages of glaucoma of study participants were independently associated with having good knowledge. With respect to practice, educational status, duration of glaucoma, laterality and frequency of follow up were significantly associated with practice status of study participants. Conclusion In this study among glaucoma patients in a tertiary hospital, only half of patients have good knowledge about the disease and good practice pattern. Those with urban residence, higher education status and advanced stage of glaucoma were more likely to have good knowledge.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the level of awareness and knowledge about glaucoma among Jordanians and determine the relationship between glaucoma knowledge and selected variables. METHODS: This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study conducted at a central hospital. Face-to-face interviews were performed to obtain sociodemographic data and information about glaucoma from Jordanian participants attending different outpatient clinics of Jordan University Hospital (JUH). A convenient sample of 488 participants aged 16 years and above were recruited. Consent form was signed by each participant before starting the interview. RESULTS: The mean age of the study population was 45.71 ± 15.44 years, ranging 16 to 89 years. There were 163 (33.4%) females and 325 (66.6%) males. 81.6% of participants had heard of glaucoma. Only 34.2% of participants defined glaucoma correctly. 52.4% of participants had a low level of knowledge about glaucoma. The main source of information was from family members, relatives, and friends (66.6%); however, this source inversely influenced the level of knowledge. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study indicate a high level of awareness of glaucoma among Jordanians but low-to-average knowledge about it. Health education programs should be activated at all levels of health- and eye-care services to increase knowledge about glaucoma and prevent the irreversible loss of vision due to the second main cause of blindness worldwide.

“…Regarding to sex, the present study revealed that, approximately two third of control group (64.0%) was males while the study group was equal (50% male and 50% female) this agreed with Abdelazeem, (2021) who reported that more than half of control group were males. Moreover Jullia & Kelly, (2019) who reported that two thirds of control group were males and that was harmonized with Mansour et al, (2019) who found that the majority of control group were males. Also El-Mowafi, (2019) who showed that most control subjects were males while about half of study group were female.…”
