“…Researchers conducted a study in which they observed that the mean time to onset of symptoms of postoperative complications was 6 days (when assessed from 1 to 30 days) for cataract surgery (Coelho, Souza, & Tanure, 2015). Other authors stated that the estimated time for postoperative complications after cataract surgery is typically up to 3 days after the surgical procedure (Hayashi, Sasaki, Manabe, & Hirata, 2018; Luz, Cvintal, Silva, & Padoveze, 2018; Nizamani, Bhutto, & Talpur, 2013) and may occur until the 30th day after (Cetinkaya, Cetinkaya, Dadaci, & Acir, 2016; Mattos, Saraiva, Angotti-Neto, & Passos, 2013; Råen, Sandvik, & Drolsum, 2013; Toyama, Ueta, Yoshitani, Sakata, & Numaga, 2018).…”

Study’s purpose: To analyze the effectiveness of telephone intervention for the nursing diagnosis of delayed surgical recovery in older persons who have undergone cataract surgery. Design: Blinded, randomized, and controlled trial. A total of 95 patients of both sexes who were over 60 years old and had undergone cataract surgery were divided into an intervention group (48 patients) and a control group (47 patients), allocated using BioEstat 5.3 Software. Results: The intervention included postoperative follow-up recovery of cataracts and prevention of complications performed on the 1st, 4th, 10th, and 20th postoperative days. After the intervention, the intervention group had a decrease in the length of surgical recovery ( p = .000). The occurrence in the intervention group was 6.3%, while in the control group, it was 36.2% (odds ratio (OR) = 0.118; confidence interval (CI) = 1.02, 10.23). The number of nursing interventions nevertheless decreased during the telephone follow-up. Conclusion: For older persons, the telephone guidelines increase adherence to treatment, promote clinical improvement, promote surgical recovery over time, and improve independence and autonomy.
