Background: Quality of life (QOL) is commonly used in clinical care and research to evaluate a patient's overall health and the effectiveness of their therapy. The aim of this study is to examine the influence of vocational training on the quality of life of individuals with visual impairments. Approach: We utilized the WHOQOL-BREFTW, a concise version of the World Health Organization QOL Questionnaire, to evaluate four areas: physical, psychological, social, and environmental. We applied a non-equivalent pretest-post-test control group design. The experimental group had a 6-month vocational training program, which encompassed both life and career rehabilitation. Upon finishing the vocational training, the experimental group had an average quality of life (QOL) score of 3.34 ± 0.18, whereas the control group had a score of 3.10 ± 0.85. The findings of the generalized estimating equation (GEE) analysis showed a significant increase of 10.81 (1.10) in the overall quality of life (QOL) ratings after the intervention, compared to the scores before the intervention, in the control group. Conclusion: Vocational training has a substantial positive impact on the overall quality of life for those with visual impairments. The dimensions of psychological, social connection, and physical health in WHOQOL-BREF TW showed the most significant improvements. The following is emphasized: 1. Acquiring professional knowledge and technical skills can improve the capabilities of individuals with visual impairments. 2. The enhancement in quality of life largely manifests in the domains of physical, psychological, and social well-being. These levels encompass the preservation of physical well-being, diminishing reliance on medical assistance, and improving self-care skills for the purpose of rebuilding one's life. Integrating electronics with directed action can reduce the risks associated with outdoor activities.
