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.</div> 2016-07-14 12:08:35 Usher syndrome quality of life research depressive symptom levels Social Support Rating Scale loneliness scale Health, Clinical and Counselling Psychology
