Usher syndrome study.sav

The aim of this study was to determine
if psychosocial wellbeing predicts the health-related quality of life (HRQOL)
of people with Usher syndrome. 

Ninety
UK-resident adults with Usher syndrome were recruited through deafblind-related
charities, support groups and social groups. All participants took part in a
survey that measured their physical and mental HRQOL, depressive symptoms, loneliness
and social support. Measured
confounders included age, sex and health-related characteristics. Hierarchical
multiple linear regression analyses examined the association of each
psychosocial wellbeing indicator with both physical and mental HRQOL while
controlling for confounders in a stepwise manner.
