The relationship between illness perception and vision-related quality of life among Chinese patients with diabetic retinopathy: the mediating role of resignation coping style
The study revealed that the resignation coping style partially mediated the relationship between illness perception and VRQOL among DR patients. Specifically, DR patients may accept their worsening circumstances without attempting to change them due to their perception that their illness is threatening and beyond control. This resignation coping strategy could, in turn, lead to poorer VRQOL. These findings suggest that interventions targeting the improvement of illness perception and coping strategies could enhance the VRQOL of DR patients.
