简介:目的:探讨低视力患者的心理健康状况及受到的社会支持。方法:从解放军总医院第一附属医院、同仁医院、中医眼科医院采用方便取样的方式抽取105例低视力患者进行调查。采用一般情况调查表、症状自评量表(SCL-90)、社会支持评定量表(SSRS)施测。结果:(1)低视力患者与社会常模进行比较,两者的SCL-90九个因子(除人际关系外)平均得分均存有显著性差异(P〈0.01或P〈0.05)。(2)不同年龄组被试在人际关系、焦虑、敌对、偏执、精神病五个因子上得分存在显著性差异(P〈0.05)。(3)SCL-90量表与社会支持量表的相关性研究表明社会支持总分与主观支持得分呈负相关,与客观支持与社会支持度上呈部分负相关。结论:低视力患者存在心理健康问题、主观上感受到的社会支持少,应注重低视力患者的心理护理。
简介:目的探讨健康体检中青光眼筛查方法及结果分析。方法采用同顾分析方法对我院健康体检数据库资料进行分析。结果在121697人健康体检中,发现青光眼1381例,患病率为1.14%,原发性闭角型青光眼(PACG)810例,患病率为0.67%,原发性开角型青光眼(POAG)476例,患病率为0.39%,正常眼压性青光眼(NTG)44例,患病率为0.04%,继发性青光眼(SG)51例、患病率为0。04%。正常大陷门者112例,术发现先天性青光眼。结论青光眼筛查方法应简易、快捷、价廉及有效的。对健康体检作青光眼筛查足必要的并且足可行的,而且在健康体检数据中为所有受检建立健康档案,这对青光眼患者诊断、治疗及评估有十分重要意义,特别对可疑青光眼受检者有一个长期跟踪观察及对比机会。
