Abstract

The disease model and reality of healthcare access of the visually impaired make an important contribution to building a comprehensive healthcare plan, helping to deepen and focus on disease prevention and healthcare quality improvement. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to describe the disease model and the reality of healthcare access for the visually impaired in Hanoi in 2020. 147 visually impaired people were participating in this study. The data was collected by screening, interview questions, and laboratory tests. Research results show that the average age of visually impaired people is 47,7 ± 15,8. The rate of visually impaired people experiencing health problems is relatively high. Regarding physical health, 90,5% of visually impaired people have at least one oral disease, 51,7 % of them are overweight. Through screening using the DASS21 scale, the rates of anxiety, stress and depression at mild or higher levels were 24.5%, 14.3% and 11.6%, respectively. When people with disabilities came to the district hospital for medical examination, the highest rate was 42.9%. The results show the visually impaired people in Hanoi have a relatively high level of health problems, which poses a practical requirement to pay more attention to health care for them.
