Perceived Stress Levels and Associated Factors in Adult Patients with Primary Open-angle Glaucoma: A Prospective Survey Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate adult primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients' perceived stress levels and to examine the associations with their clinical characteristics.

Methods

Sixty-seven POAG patients, excluding those meeting the exclusion criteria (retinal or neurological disease diagnoses) comprised the study population. A validated questionnaire, namely Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10), was used to assess stress level. Additional data on glaucoma surgery history, medical benefit receipt, comorbidities, and daily antiglaucoma medication number were collected. The clinical characteristics of high (PSS-10 ≥15) and low stress (PSS-10 <15) patients and the risk factors associated with high stress level were subjected to a multivariable logistic regression analysis.
