The quality of life for people with disabilities vision
Summary:
The present dissertation is an attempt to identify the factors that affect the quality of
life of people with visual impairments. In order to perform the empirical analysis, we
collected 206 questionnaires and performed quantitative analysis by descriptive
means, hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and factorial analysis.
The results of the analysis showed that there are factors that influence the participants'
satisfaction and quality of life. These factors relate to both the demographic and
personal characteristics of the respondents, as well as to the individual variables of the
EQ-5D and EQ-15D quality of life tools used for this analysis.
Finally, we used additional qualitative analysis in the form of a semi-structured
interview by the president of the Panhellenic Association of the Blind and an active
member of the disabled community. The purpose of this interview was to combine the
practical conclusions he has drawn from his many years of experience and to propose
solutions and guidelines to be followed to improve the quality of life of people with
disabilities in particular in Greece.
