Effect of continuity nursing on vision-related quality of life, anxiety, and perceived social support in patients with ocular trauma-related low vision: A propensity score-matched cohort study.

Background

Ocular trauma is a leading cause of acquired low vision in working-age adults and often results in long-term functional disability and psychosocial burden.

Methods

Who received structured continuity nursing after discharge were matched 1:1 to controls without such intervention based on 8 baseline covariates.

n = 65 patients
Results

vision-related quality of life score was higher with continuity nursing than without

MD 7.60 (95% CI 4.90 to 10.20)
null = 04.9010.20
CI excludes the null - significant
More results

This retrospective, propensity score-matched cohort study included adult patients with ocular trauma-related low vision treated at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University (the First People's Hospital of Zunyi) between January 2019 and December 2024.

More results

Of these, 65 patients received continuity nursing and 65 matched controls were selected for final analysis following propensity score matching.

Follow-up adherence was significantly higher in the intervention group (95.4% vs 81.5%; P = .028), and nursing satisfaction scores were also superior (mean difference 0.8; P < .001).

“
Conclusion

These findings highlight the potential utility of structured transitional care in optimizing recovery across clinical and patient-reported domains.
