The Relationship of Self-Efficacy with Adherence in Restricting Fluid Intake in Middle Adult Hemodialysis Patients

Abstract

This research was based on the prevalence of visual impairment in Indonesia which are diabetic retinopathy 42.6% and glaucoma 0.46 %. This condition causes low vision and even blindness so that impact to achieve daily activities. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between low vision with ADL (Activity Daily Living) in diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma patients in the National Eye Center of Cicendo Eye Hospital in Bandung. This quantitative study uses a cross-sectional design, involving 58 diabetic retinopathy patients and 28 glaucoma patients selected by probability random sampling techniques. ADL was measured using the Barthel Index and Lawton IADL. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, Spearman Rank, and Pearson correlation. Results showed the characteristics of respondents mostly severe low vision, aged 41-60 years, gender is female, are housewives, history of diabetic >10 years, and history of illness for 1-5 years. The ADL and IADL figures are primarily independent. Result of the Pearson correlation test and the Spearman Rank hypothesis show that there is no relationship between a low vision and ADL in diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma patients, neither a low vision with the patient, however, there is a significant relationship between low vision and IADL in diabetic retinopathy patient (p= 0,000). As a suggestion, in addition to ADL, it is important to use IADL as an assessment in patients with low vision.
