Funded Activity Summary

Vision impairment and quality of life: The development of a new education and self-management program. Vision impairment affects participation in daily living and quality of life. To encourage health aging and meet the needs of an increasing number of older people requiring vision-related services, a self-management program is proposed. It aims to educate participants about low vision, self-management strategies (problem-solving skills, ways of coping emotionally), and self-care. The program is a bio-psychosocial approach designed to empower individuals to manage low vision effectively, increase self-efficacy, maintain good health and improve life quality. The results will be used to develop an improved model of care for people with impaired vision.
