dc.description.abstractBackground: There is a growing challenge of eye health problems despite availability of treatments in communities. Purpose: Aimed to examine the effect of nurse-led education intervention on knowledge about determinants of health seeking-behaviours and willingness to prevent eye problems in Ilorin-East. Methods: A multi-stage sampling technique was adopted which included convenient sampling, systematic sampling and purposive sampling methods to select 220 respondents among residents of Ilorin East Local Government Area. A researcher designed questionnaire based on research objectives was used for data collection with a reliability index of 0.70. The questionnaire was administered before and after interventional sessions and the research questions analyzed using percentage means and standard deviations, while the three research hypotheses were tested using paired-sample t-test at 0.05 significance level. Results: Findings showed enhanced post-intervention percentage mean scores on knowledge about eye problems (86.37%), determinants of risk factors to eye problem (71.14%) and health-seeking behaviours on willingness to prevent eye problems (82.18%) as against pre-intervention percentage mean scores; 62.16%, 58.20%, and 53.29% respectively. Conclusion: The three hypotheses tested were rejected at α = 0.05. The study concluded that nurse-led eye health education intervention has a significant impact on knowledge level, determinants of risk factors to eye problems and health seeking behviours on willingness to practice preventive measures on eye health problems among residents. It is however recommended, among others, that there should be an integration of eye health education into primary health care services to ensure consistent and sustainable health message dissemination to communities. Implications for Nursing: This study provides an opportunity for nurses to have base-line knowledge of residents ‘about eye problems, health seeking behviours towards preventing eye problems. Its findings will guide nurses in planning eye care outreach program implementation using nursing health education interventions on various eye health conditions in communities.
