| description | Health self-evaluation, as a subjective measure, is related to person’s well-being because it encapsulates physical and
emotional health evaluation. It has been concluded that subjective health is, for most of people, number one trait of
quality of living that is connected to health. Individual is to decide which aspects of objective situation are important
for their satisfaction in life. In other words, way in which a person will perceive and react to an objective situation depends
on their personal traits. Aim of this research was to examine the differences in relation to gender and health state
of visually impaired older persons of that live in institutional accommodation, by self-evaluation. Respondents sample
was comprised of 40 visually impaired older persons, both genders (13 male and 27 female) that live in nursing home
“Dom penzionera” in Tuzla. Research has been conducted by interview, using questionnaire “Quality of life of adult
persons with motoric disabilities in territory of Vojvodina” (Susnjevic, 2015). Because of the structure of questions in
questionnaire, it was possible to apply it on visually impaired persons as well. Data acquired had been processed with
descriptive statistics, hi-squre and t – test, in order to determine if there were differences in relation to gender and selfevaluation
of physical and social functioning. Results of the research have shown that although means have proven that
there are differences in acquired results between respondents of male and female gender, results of t-test have shown
that those differences are not statistically significant. Presence of any kind of damage, and visual impairment as well
can influence person’s psychological and physical integrity. |
