Influence of Dyadic Coping Model on Anxiety and Depression Level and Treatment Compliance in Glaucoma Patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the influence of the dyadic coping model on anxiety and depression levels and treatment compliance in glaucoma patients. Methods: According to the random number table method, 80 glaucoma patients were assigned into an observation group and a control group, with 40 cases in each group are recruited from January 2021 to February 2022. Both groups received routine preoperative glaucoma care; in addition, the observation group received a 10-week dyadic coping model intervention. The dyadic coping model is a therapeutic approach that involves the collaborative efforts of both patients and their close partners or caregivers to cope with stressors and challenges related to the perioperative period. The baseline data questionnaires were collected before the intervention, and the outcome was evaluated 10 weeks later using the Anxiety and Depression Self-Rating Scale and the Treatment Compliance Scale. Results: After intervention, the treatment compliance of glaucoma in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group, and the anxiety and depression level in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < .05). Conclusion: The dyadic coping model intervention for glaucoma patients can successfully increase treatment compliance and lower anxiety and depression levels.
