The Impact

Social support is an important resource which facilitates coping and raises the quality of life. This study examines how different forms of social support are perceived by the visually impaired individuals living in Turkey (positive or negative), and the impact on these individuals’ psychological well-being. This qualitative phenomenological study is conducted by semi-structured interview techniques and 21 visually impaired and volunteer (11 female, 10 male) adults over 18 years (M = 28, SD = 6,34) who live in Ankara participated in the study. Data were analysed using thematic content analysis. There were 4 main themes: Centrality of the sighted world, negative social support, positive social support, and accessibility. The most frequently repeated sub themes were gathered under the main themes of negative social support and centrality of the sighted world; the majority of the participants mentioned the effect of living independently. Moreover, the lack of information in society and the negative effects of interference under the will to help are frequently mentioned. On the other hand, the sub themes of mutual support, perceiving blindness as a difference, not a deficiency were presented under the main theme of positive social support. Keywords: Visually impaired, perceived social support, psychological well-being

Abstract Diabetes is known to increase the risk of disability, which may be buffered by health behaviors and psychological factors. However, few existing studies examine how these factors affect disability in diabetic patients over time. The present study assessed the extent to which diabetes affected disability with age and how that effects differed by health behaviors and psychological well-being in older Taiwanese. The data of 5131 adults aged 50 and older were drawn from the 1996-2007 Taiwan Longitudinal Study on Aging. A cohort sequential multilevel modeling was employed to explore the effects of sociodemographic, comorbidities, lifestyle, and psychosocial factors in mediating and moderating the link between diabetes and disability. Disability was measured by mobility limitation in 1999, 2003, and 2007, while health behaviors and psychological factors were measured in 1996, 1999, and 2003 to be lagged time-varying covariates in random effect model analyses. Our results showed that adults with diabetes had more mobility limitation (β(diabetes) =3.031, P<.001) and progressed each year with ageing (β(diabetes*age) =0.061, P<.005). Exercising more than four times a week reduced the risk of disability by 51 % in diabetic patients (β(diabetes*exercise≥4 times) =-1.220, P<0.05). Social participation (β(social participation)=-0.631, P<.005), stress (β(stress)=0.651, P<.001) and depression (β(depression)=0.144, P<.001) had independent effects on the risk of disability in adults, but the interaction with diabetes was not significant. To conclude, exercise is the most powerful factor to alleviate the risk of disability in diabetic patients.
