Family functioning and coping strategies in families of people with visual impairment

“…Hardships that affect the individuals as subsystems can also affect the family system (e.g., father, mother, siblings). Based on the aforementioned, family may face stressful events to amortize, avoid, or reduce as much as possible the negative impact produced by conflicts and human psychological welfare stressors (Amarís et al, 2013; Giovanazzi et al, 2017; Medellín et al, 2012).
