“…However, it is also possible that the nature of the measure, which recoded narrative data into a dichotomous variable, lost the depth of information coming from the qualitative data and thus was limited in sensitivity. This is a relationship that requires further examination in future research with a more comprehensive measure, especially since research has highlighted the importance of family attitudes in rehabilitation outcomes in general (Kelly & Lambert, 1992;Youngblood & Hines, 1992) and research specific to vision loss has found that the elder's adjustment to vision loss is closely related to the family's perception of the vision disability (Greig et al, 1986;Kleinschmidt, 1996).…”

This study examined the influence of health, social support, disability, and vision rehabilitation services on depression among visually impaired older adults seeking vision rehabilitation services. Participants (n = 95) were interviewed at application and approximately two years later. The first hierarchical regression model focused on concurrent relationships at baseline. The second model used baseline health and social support variables, along with indicators of change in vision and use of rehabilitation services, in order to predict change in depression over time. Findings indicate that being unmarried, in poorer health, having lower quality of relationships with family, and lower stability in friendships were significant independent risk factors for initial depression, explaining 50% of the variance. Decline in depression over time was predicted by younger age, better self-rated health, stability of friendships, and use of rehabilitation services that, along with baseline depression, explained 61% of the variance in depressive symptomatology at the two-year follow-up. Findings highlight the importance of qualitative aspects of social support for older disabled adults, as well as the distinction that needs to be made between factors that predict concurrent mental health status and those predicting change in status over time.

“…Due to long-term needs, the disabled person often depends on his relatives for physical care, social contact, psychological support and financial help. The recovery level may depend on the family's ability to provide support to the disabled person, which frequently becomes a significant burden to the family (3)(4) .…”

“…8 Due to the long-term needs, the disabled person almost always becomes dependent upon family members for physical care, emotional control, social relationships, and finances, and this care frequently becomes a significant overload for the family. 8 Social relationships become hampered, requiring readaptation, which are felt in the domestic economy by the expenses with treatments, the reduced family income, and by the inability of one or more family members to work and help out with paying the bills. 5 Due to the major family, social, and professional disruptions, the disabled subject often winds up breaking up old relationships and losing close friends.…”

A stroke is considered a disease of great social impact that causes major disruptions such as job loss, decreased income, and changes in occupational roles; it can become a serious family problem. Objective: To analyze the changes in work and family caused by hemiparesis in patients who have experienced a stroke. Methods: This is a quantitative study involving 30 patients with hemiparesis due to stroke in the Hospital de Base of São José do Rio Preto. The instruments used were the identification form containing their name, age, gender, and current and previous occupation, among other things, along with a questionnaire adapted by the Occupational Therapy service with ten closed questions where the participant could respond either "yes" or "no." Results: The research showed that before having the stroke, 87% of the participants were working and receiving a salary, and after the stroke none had any paid activity. The family relationships of those impaired for a longer time suffered more than of those who were impaired for a shorter time. Conclusion: This study found that patients with hemiparesis due to stroke may undergo changes in industrial, socioeconomic, and family relationships. This data is relevant so that health professionals can assist the return of these subjects to occupational activities after a stroke.
