Objective: To construct, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of the health education model for ophthalmic day surgery. Methods: The health education model for ophthalmic day surgery was constructed relying on information-oriented means and Teach-back method. A total of 177 patients with day surgery in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center from January 2020 to May 2021 were selected as the research subjects and divided into a control group (n=97) and an intervention group (n=80) by historical comparative study. The intervention group was carried out with the health education model based on information-oriented means and Teach-back method, while the control group received the routine health education. The health education knowledge and perioperative nursing satisfaction were compared between the 2 groups. Results: The scores of self-evaluation and nurse evaluation for health education knowledge in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in body position nursing knowledge score and nursing satisfaction score between the 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The health education model based on information oriented means and Teach-back method can improve the health education knowledge level of patients with ophthalmic day care surgery. In the meanwhile, further studies will be needed to explore the effects on patients in body position nursing knowledge and nursing satisfaction.
