Relationship between self-concept and depression level in people with retinitis pigmentosa
Abstract
The present study has two main objectives: firstly, to know the relationship between some factors of the self-concept, number of support people in case of need, depression level and age of 51 people who have a degenerative visual pathology (Retinitis Pigmentosa). Secondly, to analyze if depression level could influence some self-concept dimensions. Instruments such as the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale (Fitts, 1965), the Beck Depression Inventory (Beck et al., 1979) and a sociodemographic questionnaire were used. A Pearson's correlation analysis revealed that age is associated with higher scores on depression, associating this to lower scores in physical and personal self-concept, being physical self-concept the best predictor of depression scores. The MANCOVA made confirms that people with higher level of depression were perceived more negatively in physical, personal and moral/ethical self-concept. Final del formularioIt concludes recommending to prevent depression by promoting the improvement of self-concept deficit factors, avoiding or reducing the impact of emotional disorders on the quality of life and visual functioning of this people.Downloads
