dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Cataracts, associated with the senescence process, lead to visual changes that condition daily life. A surgical procedure is the standard treatment, which makes nurses a privileged professional group to identify both the potential and difficulties of these patients so as to facilitate their health/illness transition when they return home. Objetive: To explore the information that nurses provide in preparing the return home of elderly patients after cataract surgery. Methods: Qualitative research study, with data collection using the focus group technique, based on an intentional sample composed of six nurses. Data analysis was performed with a posteriori categorization according to Bardin (2015). Results: Three categories of relevant topics were found: “Facilitating/inhibiting factors” (age, cognitive ability, awareness of their clinical and socioeconomic situation); “Management of the post-operative therapeutic regimen” (medication regimen and prior preparation); “Promotion of the potential for autonomy” (empowerment and organizational management).  Conclusion: The recognition of relevant information in preparing for homecoming allows clinical pathways to be defined with a view to better decision making, in favour of guaranteeing the quality and continuity of care.pt_PT
