Age-related resilience in critical periods of life of patients with visual deficits and injuries
Background: Visual impairment and injuries in patients are common in older groups and their prevalence will increase as they age. At the same time, visual deficits and injuries can contribute to a decrease in age-related resilience, but the latter is rarely studied among the above categories of elderly patients. The aim of the study:To study age-related resilience in critical periods of life of patients with visual deficits and injuries. Materials and methods: Two clinical groups were formed: the main group of 215 people and the control group of 208 people. Age-related resilience was studied in both groups according to the A.V. Makhnach test. In assessing the impact of visual deficits and trauma on age-related resilience, the relative risk method was used according to a generally accepted methodology. Results: Among patients in the main group, compared with the control group, a decrease in the following resilience scales was found: internal locus of control to 31.8±2.2 points versus 55.2±2.5 points (p=0.0023), perseverance to 35.6±1.9 versus 69.7±2.8 points (p=0.0018), self–efficacy to 49.8±2.0 points versus 80.6±3.1 points (p=0.0009), copulation and adaptation – up to 29.4±1.7 versus 50.7±2.2 points (p=0.0024), respectively. The integral resilience index in the main group was 274.1±3.9 points, while in the control group it was 396.8±4.4 points (p<0.001). The relative risk was highest (2,769) for the persistence scale with a reliable confidence interval (p=0.00021). The relative risk value is slightly lower for the coping and adaptation scales – 2.457, the internal locus of control – 2.395 and self-efficacy – 2.214 with significant significance in all cases. Conclusion: It is proposed to determine age-related resilience in patients with visual impairment and injuries in order to carry out measures to improve resilience among them
