Пропаганда здорового образа жизни и просвещение играют решающую роль в снижении числа случаев предотвратимой слепоты и нарушений зрения в развивающихся странах. Целью данного исследования является оценка понимания и отношения к катаракте взрослых жителей района Тлоговару, сельской местности Маланга.</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. Проведено поперечное исследование с участием взрослых в возрасте от 18 лет, проживающих в Тлоговару, используя анкету закрытого типа, заимствованную из оригинальной статьи, переведенную на индонезийский язык и валидированную с альфа Кронбаха &gt; 0,6. Уровень знаний оценивался как низкий (&lt; 6) или хороший (≥ 6) на основе общего балла равного 9. В исследовании приняли участие 270 респондентов.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. В то время как 68,5 % участников продемонстрировали хорошие знания о катаракте, 59,6 % выразили противоречивое негативное отношение к этому заболеванию. Анализ показывает, что формированию негативного отношения в значительной степени способствуют боязнь боли (59,2 %) и опасения по поводу исхода операции (56,6 %). Были обнаружены статистически значимые зависимости между уровнем знаний и такими факторами, как возраст (p = 0,003), гендерная принадлежность (p = 0,021), уровни образования (p = 0,000) и дохода (p = 0,000).</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Полученные результаты выявили несоответствие между достаточным уровнем знаний и негативным отношением к катаракте, что подчеркивает необходимость целенаправленных инициатив по повышению осведомленности для улучшения восприятия и поощрения проактивного поведения в отношении здоровья.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Introduction</title><p>Introduction: Health promotion and education play a crucial role in reducing preventable blindness and visual impairment in underdeveloped countries. This study aims to evaluate understanding and perspectives of adults regarding cataracts in Tlogowaru (rural area of Malang).</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving adults aged ≥ 18 years in Tlogowaru rural area using a closed-ended questionnaire adapted from an original article, translated into Indonesian, and validated with a Cronbach’s alpha of &gt; 0.6. Knowledge levels were categorized as poor (&lt; 6) or good (≥ 6) based on the total score of 9. A total of 270 respondents participated in this study.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results: While 68.5 % of the respondents exhibited good knowledge about cataracts, 59.6 % expressed a contradictory negative attitude towards the condition. Our analysis indicates that fear of pain (59.2 %) and concerns about surgical outcomes (56.6 %) significantly contribute to this negative attitude. Significant associations were found between knowledge and factors such as age (p = 0.003), gender (p = 0.021), education (p = 0.000), and income (p = 0.000).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion: Our findings highlight the disparity between adequate knowledge and negative attitudes towards cataracts, thus underscoring the need for targeted awareness initiatives to improve perceptions and encourage proactive health behavior.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>катаракта</kwd><kwd>осведомленность</kwd><kwd>знание</kwd><kwd>отношение</kwd><kwd>сопутствующие факторы</kwd><kwd>вопросник</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>cataract</kwd><kwd>awareness</kwd><kwd>knowledge</kwd><kwd>attitude</kwd><kwd>associated factors</kwd><kwd>questionnaire</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Nizami AA, Gurnani B, Gulani AC.
