目的：为了确定人格对视力特异性健康相关的生活质量（HRQoL）的影响：基于功率计算，148人诊断为青光眼或高眼压症，无眼部合并症，选择使用的标准，包括年龄超过30岁，没有最近或即将进行的手术，没有诊断为临床抑郁症或任何其他精神疾病。合格的参与者完成了25项国家眼科研究所的视觉功能问卷（VFQ），神经质，外向性和开放性人格量表修订版（NEO PI-R）和15项老年抑郁量表（GDS-15），并提供了有关其人口统计学特征和既往病史的信息。每例患者还接受了眼部检查。进行数据分析以确定NEO PI-R人格特征与VFQ评分之间的关系，同时控制一系列人口统计学、精神病学、既往医学和临床眼科变量的影响。多变量分析表明，在控制了一系列协变量后，NEO PI-R人格维度中的三个维度与VFQ总分和分量表得分具有显著的相关性。人格特征的正常变化影响患者如何报告其视觉特异性HRQoL。
Aim: To determine the effect of personality on vision-specific health-related quality of life (HRQoL).Methods: Based on power calculations, 148 individuals diagnosed as having glaucoma or ocular hypertension, without ocular comorbidity, were selected using criteria that included age over 30, no recent or upcoming surgery, the absence of a diagnosis of clinical depression or any other psychiatric illness. Qualifying participants completed the 25-Item National Eye Institute's Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ), the Neuroticism, Extraversion and Openness Personality Inventory Revised (NEO PI-R) and the 15-Item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), and provided information regarding their demographic characteristics and past medical history. Each patient also underwent an ocular examination. Data analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between NEO PI-R personality profiles and VFQ scoring, while controlling for the effects of a range of demographic, psychiatric, past medical and clinical ophthalmic variables.Results: Multivariate analysis indicated that after controlling for a range of covariates, three out of five NEO PI-R personality domains shared statistically significant associations with a variety of VFQ total and subscale score measurements.Conclusion: Normal variations in personality characteristics influence how patients report their vision-specific HRQoL.
