Objective To explore the application value of preoperative meibomian gland massage therapy based on information - motivation - behavior technique nursing intervention in patients with cataract complicated with meibomian gland dysfunction. Methods A total of 82 patients with cataract complicated with meibomian gland dysfunction who received treatment in our hospital from April 2023 to December 2023 were selected and divided into observation group and reference group with 41 patients in each group by random number table method. The control group was treated with conventional nursing methods, and the observation group was treated with info-motivation-behavioral technique nursing intervention plus meibomian gland massage therapy. The scores of meibomian gland secretions, palpebral margin morphological scores, visual quality satisfaction and quality of life were compared. Results After group intervention, the scores of meibomian gland secretions and palpebral margin morphology in observation group were lower than those in reference group, and the score of visual quality satisfaction was higher than that in reference group (P < 0.05). The quality of life in observation group was higher than that in reference group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The preoperative facial gland massage therapy based on information, motivation and behavior skill nursing intervention for patients with cataract complicated with meibomian gland dysfunction is helpful to improve the symptoms and ocular surface conditions of patients with postoperative meibomian gland dysfunction, improve visual quality satisfaction, and improve the quality of life of patients, which is worthy of clinical application and promotion.
