Background: Ophthalmic surgery is invasive, and treatment efficacy is affected by a variety of factors. We aimed to analyze perioperative treatment compliance, anxiety and depression of elderly patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery and the influential factors.
Methods:The study group comprised 119 elderly patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery between March 2018 and March 2020. Clinical and treatment compliance data of all patients were collected. The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were administered to all patients, and logistic regression analysis was used for multivariate analysis.Results: During the perioperative period the 119 elderly patients had a mean SAS score of 65.13±14.36, and SDS score of 61.94±17.39. Treatment compliance was as follows: 76 cases of complete compliance, 25 of incomplete compliance, and 18 of complete non-compliance. Economic status, complications, treatment options and levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 are independent risk factors that affected the compliance of elderly patients undergoing ophthalmology surgery (P<0.05). Education level, marital status, economic status, complications, treatment options and levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 were independent risk factors affecting perioperative anxiety and depression.Conclusions: There are many factors affecting the perioperative treatment compliance, anxiety and depression of elderly patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery. Effective intervention measures should be taken to improve patients' compliance, reduce their negative emotions, and improve the surgical efficacy.
