Abstract
Nursing audit is used to evaluate the nursing care given to achieve deserved and feasible quality of nursing care. The aim of this study was to assess nursing care offered for patients undergoing cataract surgery at Assiut Ophthalmic Hospital. Research design: Descriptive research design was used. Setting: The study was conducted at Assiut Ophthalmic Hospital, Assiut, Egypt. Subjects: The sample consisted of all available nurses (65 nurses) who gave direct care for cataract surgery patients. Tools: Tool (I): Nursing assessment questionnaire (include 3 parts; Nurses' demographic information, Nurses' level of knowledge, Nurses' practice observation checklist). Tool (II): Nursing care standards for patients undergoing cataract surgery (Developed). Results: 63.1% of nurses have fair knowledge and 6.6% have adequate level of practice. Also, a statistically significant difference was found between routine care &nursing care standards. Conclusion: Nurses had fair level of knowledge about cataract and adequate level of practice regarding routine care for patients undergoing cataract surgery. A gap was found between usual nursing care and nursing care standards for those patients. Recommendations: Guidelines should be followed when dealing with cataract patient and developing a system that connects nurses' knowledge acquired by lectures on cataract service with the nursing care practice.
