Exploring the patient perspective of fatigue in adults with visual impairment: A qualitative study
BMJ Open Aug 16, 2017
Schakel W, et al. – This research encompassed the evaluation of the patients' perspective of fatigue in visually impaired adults with an emphasis on the symptoms of fatigue, causes, consequences and coping strategies. The main cause of low vision–related fatigue was found to be population specific determinants which varied from the fatigue experience described in studies with other patient populations. Fatigue could be central to the way patients react, adapt and compensate to the consequences of vision loss. Hence, the data necessitated additional studies with regard to interventions customized to the unique aspects of fatigue related to vision loss.
