Repercusiones de la deficiencia visual de personas mayores en cuidadores familiares

vision impairment in the elderly leads relatives to worry about their safety and outings. Relatives employ active coping strategies in response to these concerns, although these strategies do not seem to be effective since they are associated with lower quality of life. Moreover, the relatives with the highest level of concern show lower quality of life than those with lower levels of concern. Overall, the results of this study reveal the possible utility of interventions aimed at identifying the limitations imposed by vision impairment and at encouraging appropriate compensating strategies.
