Vision impairment can affect various areas of life. The aim of this research was to determine the extent to which adults with vision impairment engage in leisure activities and the quality of that engagement.
The research included 78 participants with blindness, and 48 with low vision 19-60 years of age (M = 36.01; SD = 11.81). The subtest Leisure, from the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System II - ABAS II, was used for leisure time assessment.
The mean value of the results on the Leisure subtest fell within the average category. A statistically significant relationship was established between our respondents' achievements and: a) their vision status (p = 0.05); b) how well-informed they considered themselves to be about their vision impairment (p = 0.030); and c) their living arrangement (p = 0.021).
The results indicated the need for more comprehensive analysis of the circumstances which determine how well-informed the vision impaired have about their own condition (motivation, information availability, etc.) and the dynamics of family and other social relations, when designing support programs for people with vision impairment.
视力障碍可能会影响生活的多个方面。本研究旨在确定视力障碍成年人参与休闲活动的程度及其参与质量。
该研究共纳入 78 名盲人和 48 名低视力成年人（年龄 19-60 岁，M=36.01；SD=11.81）。使用《适应行为评估系统 II-ABAS II》中的休闲亚测验来评估休闲时间。
休闲亚测验的平均得分处于中等水平。研究对象的成就与以下因素之间存在显著的统计学关系：a）他们的视力状况（p=0.05）；b）他们对自己视力障碍的了解程度（p=0.030）；c）他们的居住安排（p=0.021）。
研究结果表明，在设计视力障碍人士的支持计划时，需要更全面地分析影响视力障碍人士对自身状况的了解程度（动机、信息可用性等）以及家庭和其他社会关系动态的因素。
