Note. In step 1, we controlled the sociodemographic characteristics of samples such as marital status, education level, monthly income, living place, and ophthalmology history which can affect social support; in step 2, we controlled the sociodemographic characteristics of samples such as gender, education level, monthly income, and living place which can affect readiness for hospital discharge; in step 3, we controlled the sociodemographic characteristics as in step 2.
