ABSTRACT
This study aims to analyze variables related to patient activation in 78 individuals with visual impairment. The Patient Activation Measure (PAM) scores of participants showed no differences between males and females. It was found that the individuals living in urban areas, and participants with higher income and education levels had higher PAM scores. Still, the difference between the groups was statistically insignificant (p > 0.05). The PAM scores of the visually impaired individuals reflect taking action level of activation (66.51 ± 18.14-PAM level 3). There was a moderately significant relationship between PAM scores and visually impaired individuals' self-management, self-efficacy, healthy life awareness, social relations, and environment (p < 0.001). We found that the variables included in the regression model (marital status, self-management, self-efficacy, healthy life awareness, social relations, and environment) explained 72.2% of the PAM score. Individuals with visual impairment can be given training on self-management, self-efficacy, healthy life awareness, and quality of life associated with social relations and environment to develop positive health behaviors.
