But little is known to what extent vision-and health-related QoL impairments are associated with psychological distress. In 24 patients with chronic visual field defects (mean age=56.17\u00b112.36) the National Eye Institute-visual functioning questionnaire (NEI-VFQ) for vision-related QoL, the Short Form Health Survey-36 (SF-36) for generic QoL and the revised Symptom-Checklist (SCL-90-R) were administered. Cases with clinically relevant SCL-90-R symptoms were defined. Demographic, QoL and visual field parameters were correlated with SCL-90-R scales. About 40% of the investigated patients met the criteria for the definition of psychiatric caseness. 8\/12 NEI-VFQ scales correlated significantly with SCL-90-R phobic anxiety (r-range -0.41 to -0.64, P&lt;0.05), 5\/12 NEI-VFQ scales correlated with SCL-90-R interpersonal sensitivity (-0.43 to -0.50), and 3\/12 with SCL-90-R depression (-0.51 to -0.57) and obsessive-compulsiveness (-0.41 to -0.43). In contrast, only 1\/8 SF-36 scales correlated significantly with SCL-90-R depression, phobic anxiety and interpersonal sensitivity (-0.41 to -0.54). No substantial correlations were observed between visual field parameters and SCL-90-R scales. Significant correlations of SCL-90-R with NEI-VFQ but not with SF-36 suggest that self-rated psychological distress is the result of diminished vision-related QoL as a consequence of visual field loss. The extent of visual field loss itself did not influence the rating of psychological distress directly, since SCL-90-R symptoms were only reported when diminished vision-related QoL was present. Patients with reduced vision-related QoL due to persisting visual field defects should therefore be offered additional neuropsychological rehabilitation and supportive psychotherapeutic interventions even years after the lesion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4081\/mi.2012.e12","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,6]],"date-time":"2012-09-06T15:26:42Z","timestamp":1346945202000},"page":"52-58","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Psychological distress is associated with vision-related but not with generic quality of life in patients with visual field defects after cerebral lesions"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Carolin","family":"Gall","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Iris","family":"Mueller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gabriele H.","family":"Franke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bernhard A.","family":"Sabel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"98","container-title":["Mental Illness"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.pagepress.org\/journals\/index.php\/mi\/article\/viewFile\/2656\/3665","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.emerald.com\/insight\/content\/doi\/10.4081\/mi.2012.e12\/full\/xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.emerald.com\/insight\/content\/doi\/10.4081\/mi.2012.e12\/full\/html","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,20]],"date-time":"2022-07-20T14:58:52Z","timestamp":1658329132000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.emerald.com\/insight\/content\/doi\/10.4081\/mi.2012.e12\/full\/html"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,26]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,26]]}},"alternative-id":["10.4081\/mi.2012.e12"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4081\/mi.2012.e12","relation":{},"ISSN":["2036-7465"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2036-7465","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,26]]}}}
