Correlation and multivariate regression analysis were used to test the relationship between self-management behavior and HRQOL.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Self-management behavior and HRQOL.RESULTS: Totally 107 questionnaires were available. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that management of physical,psychosocial activity was the significant factor of.physical component summary(regression coefficient = 2.709,R2 =0. 150,P<0.01),and management of physical sign,psychosocial behavior was the significant factor of mental component summary(regressioncoefficient=1.126,R2=0.041,P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Improving hemodialysis patients' management of physical,psychosocial activity and management of physical sign could help hemodialysis patients to raise their HRQOL.

Objective To understand the development of psychosocial adaptation and life quality of patients with visual impairment, as well as their relationship. Methods Researches about impact of psychosocial adaptation on life quality of patients with visual impairment underwent document retrieval and the results went through analysis. Results Cataract, glaucoma, retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration caused different degree of visual impairment, furthermore influence physical, psychosocial adaptation and life quality of these patients. Some scales were compiled by some scholars at home and abroad to evaluate the influence degree of these factors, but tools to test psychosocial adaptation lacked. Conclusions Researches on quality of life for a single eye impairment are more than those on the relationship between psychosocial adaptation and quality of life. At the same time, it is necessary to develop a tool to measure psychosocial adaptation of visual function impairment.

Objective:To explore the correlation between positive psychological capital and quality of life in patients with diabetic retinopathy, and to provide a reference for the development of targeted nursing measures to improve the quality of life of patients.Methods:A total of 226 patients with diabetic retinopathy who were hospitalized in the Department of Ophthalmology and Endocrinology of the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University from May to December in 2019 were selected by convenient sampling.

Conclusions:The positive psychological capital of patients with diabetic retinopathy is positively related to the quality of life. Nursing staff should take measures to improve the level of positive psychological capital of patients, promote their mental health, and improve their quality of life.

The definition of visual impairment, the current status of visual impairment in the elderly, influencing factors related with visual impairment and management control modes are reviewed.There are three international standards of visual impairment including the WHO standard in 1972, the United States standard, and the WHO standard in 2003. The domestic standard is consistent with the WHO standard in 1972. Currently, with the global aging, the international and the Chinese situations of visual impairment are severe,and it is urgent to reduce the incidence of visual impairment. The visual impairment of the elderly is affected by various factors. A variety of management and control modes of visual impairment for the elderly have begun to bear fruit. The aim of the review is to provide the basis to screen for high-risk groups of visual impairment and provide timely intervention to reduce the prevalence of visual impairment in the older population.
