Summary: Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the level of coherence among patients treated surgically for senile cataract.
Material and Methods: The study was conducted among 50 patients (33 women and 17 men) hospitalized in the Department of Ophthalmology Medical University of Lodz. The study used the questionnaire constructed for the purpose of this survey and the Life Orientation Questionnaire (SOC-29).
Results: The average value on the Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC) – 116 scores. The level of coherence was the highest for comprehensibility and the lowest for meaningfulness.
Discussion: In the holistic and individualized attitude towards ophthalmological care the sense of coherence should be applied more often as it allows to comprehend health differences in a group of similar patients.
Conclusions: 1. Patients with senile cataract demonstrate a lowered sense of coherence (The motivating component, needed to fight with a disease, has the lowest value). 2. Comprehensive care of senile cataract patients should comprise activities aiming at enhancing the patient’s individual motivation to get involved in the healing process. 3. Engaging a psychologist in the therapy of a patient with senile cataract might shorten the time of the therapy and make it more effective.
