[Abstract] Objective To explore the relationship between the uncertainty of illness in elderly cataract patients and anxiety, depression and the characteristics of the illness. Methods Seventy-five elderly cataract patients from January 2019 to January 2020 were selected as the study subjects. The disease uncertainty scale (MUIS) were evaluated. The hospital anxiety and depression self-rating scale (HADS) were used to assess anxiety and depression, and investigate the disease characteristics of the affected side, intraocular pressure, vision, etc. Single factor analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis were used to investigate the correlation between the uncertainty of disease in elderly cataract patients and anxiety, depression and the characteristics of the disease. Results The MUIS score of 75 elderly cataract patients was (65.98±6.01) points. Univariate analysis showed that whether it was combined with anxiety, depression, high myopia, and combined high intraocular pressure, the difference in visual acuity of different affected sides and eyes with MUIS scores was statistically significant (P<0.05). Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that combined anxiety, combined depression, combined high myopia, and the affected side are the influencing factors for the uncertainty of disease in elderly cataract patients. Conclusion Elderly cataract patients generally have a moderate sense of disease uncertainty, which is related to anxiety, depression, combined high myopia, side disease, etc. Targeted psychological care or health education should be carried out to reduce the uncertainty of their disease.
