Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the psychological distress of patients with retinal detachment and analyze its causes and related factors. Method We adopted a general information questionnaire and psychological distress thermometer (DT) to do a cross-sectional survey among patients undergoing retinal detachment reduction surgery between February 2016 and May 2017 in West China Hospital in Sichuan Province. Results The average score of psychological pain in the patients with retinal detachment was 4.3 ±2.0. Significant psychological distress was observed in 83 cases, which accounted for 67.5% (DT score was greater than 4). The top 5 factors for the psychological distress caused by the retinal detachment were edema, physical activity restricted, worry, bathing/dressing, and sleep problem. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that age, sports, time of retinal detachment and combination of chronic diseases had an effect on psychological pain score (all P＜0.05). Conclusions The psychological distress of patients treated in retinal detachment reduction surgery is severe, and the physical problems are the main causes of psychological distress. In order to effectively prevent the emergence of psychological problems, psychological intervention measures should be taken in patients at young age, long time of retinal detachment, doing sports, and combination with other chronic diseases.
