Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to implement a health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment protocol to measure the consequences of a rehabilitation program for visual impaired people at a leading reference institute in Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 60 visual impaired adults enrolled in a Rehabilitation Program of the Instituto Benjamin Constant. The research protocol consisted of a questionnaire with personal data, social, demographic, and clinical information; the EQ-5D-3L instrument for generic HRQoL measurement; the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) to screen for depression, and the 25-Item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25) to assess specific HRQoL of visual function. The main independent variable analyzed was the exposure time to the rehabilitation. Linear regression models were used to investigate the relationship between rehabilitation time and HRQoL of the NEI VFQ-25 and EQ 5D-3L instruments. Results: Most participants (73%) have acquired visual impairment, 68% are under 60 years old, 53% lost their vision more than 10 years ago, the most common self-reported visual condition (48%
