Abstract：Objective:To analyze the correlation between self-perceived burden,social support and disease perception in patients with diabetic retinopathy(DR).Methods:From February 2023 to April 2024,120 patients with DR Admitted to our hospital were selected as the study objects.Self-perceived burden scale(SPB)was used to evaluate the current self-perceived burden of patients,and they were divided into mild group,moderate group and severe group according to the degree of self-perceived burden.The patients in three groups were further compared with the general data,social support degree[social support rating scale(SSRS)]and disease perception[simple disease perception questionnaire(BIPQ)],and the relationship between self-perceived burden,social support and disease perception was analyzed.Results:The SPB score of 120 patients with DR was 23-45 points,with an average of(38.25±3.42)points,of which 37 cases(30.83%)were mild,65 cases(54.17%)were moderate,and 18 cases(15.00%)were severe.Compared with the mild and moderate groups,the SSRS score in the severe group was lower,and the moderate group was lower than the mild group,the difference was statistically significant(F=61.353,P＜0.05).BIPQ scores in mild and moderate groups and severe groups were higher,and moderate group was higher than mild group,the difference was statistically significant(F=102.013,P＜0.05);Kendall tau-b correlation analysis showed that the perceived burden of DR Patients was negatively correlated with social support(r=-0.586,P＜0.05),and positively correlated with disease perception(r=0.670,P＜0.05).Conclusion:The self-perceived burden of DR Patients is at the medium level,which is closely related to social support and disease perception.
