Objective: To explore the main nursing problems and demands of patients with severe visual impairment or blindness, so as to provide the basis for health staff to formulate home care support plans of high quality. Methods: By using a descriptive qualitative method, face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted among 20 patients with severe visual impairment or blindness who were hospitalized in the top-grade ophthalmic hospital in Guangzhou from April to September 2020. The inductive content analysis method was used to analyze the data. Results: The main nursing problems of these patients were the lack of self-care ability, limited social activities, and difficulty in adapting to changes in family roles. Nursing needs include the hope that hospitals can provide multidimensional disease-related knowledge and multi-channel medical consulting services. Conclusion: Patients with severe visual impairment or blindness have many problems and needs in home care. They would like to obtain multi-dimensional knowledge and receive multi-channel medical consultation. Health staff from hospitals and communities should attach great importance to these patients, as well as provide appropriate guidance and assistance, so as to improve their activities of daily living.
