Disease relevance of Social Support

 

Psychiatry related information on Social Support

 

High impact information on Social Support

  • Although smoking, poor sleep quality, alcohol abstinence, low dietary intake of vitamin C, elevated catecholamine levels, and being introverted were all associated with greater susceptibility to colds, they could only partially account for the relation between social network diversity and incidence of colds [11].
  • METHODS: A cohort of 238 consecutively enrolled RA patients from the European Research on Incapacitating Disease and Social Support study (age range 20-70 years, mean disease duration 2.3 years, 68% rheumatoid factor [RF] positive) was followed up longitudinally for 10 years [12].
  • METHODS: Women aged 40-60 years with established RA completed validated questionnaires on health status (Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales 2) and satisfaction with the levels of social support from their primary caregiver (Significant Others Scale A) [13].
  • Current psychiatric disorder was present in 15 patients (20.5%) and was significantly associated with social stress, lack of social support, and impairment on 2 tests of cognitive function (Verbal Fluency Test and Benton Visual Retention Test, Part A, number of errors) [14].
  • The authors predicted risk of major depression in the year before the wave 2 interview from levels of social support assessed at wave 1 [15].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Social Support

  • The present study examined the relationship between history of self-reported drug overdoses and social network characteristics among cocaine and opiate users [16].
  • Each group was asked to complete an instrument that assesses perceived social support (Headache Social Support Questionnaire), medication attitudes (Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire), locus of control (Headache-Specific Locus of Control Scale), and migraine-associated disability (Migraine Disability Assessment Questionnaire) [17].
  • RESULTS: Pyridoxine deficiency was a significant predictor of increased overall psychological distress in this model, controlling for life stressors, social support, coping style, and HIV-1 serostatus [18].
  • Self-esteem, social adjustment, social support and attributional style were assessed in 27 recovered bipolar patients, 24 recovered unipolar patients maintained on lithium or antidepressant prophylaxis and 26 healthy controls [19].
  • These treatments include counseling (mainly individual or social support and behavioral and cognitive therapy) and pharmacological treatment with either nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) or bupropion LP [20].
 

Biological context of Social Support

  • We assessed 50 homosexual or bisexual men who were within 3 months of their AIDS diagnosis with respect to medical status, illness concerns, attitudes towards homosexuality, and social support [21].
  • MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 300 women between 40 and 59 years of age were evaluated using Greene scale for climacteric symptoms, Cooper questionnaire for psychosomatic symptoms of stress, Smilkstein family apgar for family dysfunction, Duke-UNC questionnaire for social support and Israel scale for vital events [22].
  • METHODS: A sample of 129 SLE patients (mean age 42.01 years; SD 11.09) was recruited from 9 immunology/rheumatology clinics across Canada. Patients completed questionnaires assessing psychological distress, social support, coping, stress, and health-related quality of life [23].
  • OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of multiple sclerosis (MS)-related symptoms and both received social support and perceived deficits in social support on emotional distress in mothers with MS at 1, 3, and 6 months postpartum [24].
 

Anatomical context of Social Support

 

Associations of Social Support with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Social Support

  • The results of this study suggest that while most BRCA1/2 mutation carriers are likely to complete an adjunctive psycho-educational program, personal history of cancer, cancer-specific distress, and perceptions of social support are likely to influence participation [33].
  • Vascular endothelial growth factor and social support in patients with ovarian carcinoma [34].
  • RESULTS: Besides reporting more job strain, less social support at work, and higher levels of anxiety, depression, vital exhaustion (VE), and sleep impairments, participants with high burnout manifested higher levels of TNF-alpha and HbA1C, independent of confounders including depression [35].
  • The baseline assessment included the Composite International Diagnostic Interview, the Hamilton Depression (HDRS) and Anxiety (HARS) Rating Scales, the Medical Outcomes Study SF-36 and some forms to collect life events, major difficulties, social support, and ongoing treatments [36].
  • However, group differences in dysphoria and anxiety were accounted for by differences in somatic complaints, whereas differences in interpersonal social support were accounted for by IDDM duration [37].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Social Support

  • Are there more than cross-sectional relationships of social support and support networks with functional limitations and psychological distress in early rheumatoid arthritis? the European Research on Incapacitating Diseases and Social Support Longitudinal Study [38].
  • Influence of social support on cardiac event rate in men with ischaemic type ST segment depression during ambulatory 24-h long-term ECG recording. The prospective population study 'Men born in 1914', Malmö, Sweden [39].
  • The interview consisted of disease-specific questions (RSCL), general questionnaires (NHP I and II, ABS), the Visual Analogue Scale, a specific questionnaire (Anxiety), and evaluative questions about social support and transplantation [40].
  • With regard to social support, the main difference between the groups was that, while 30% of patients with NSCLC received help from specialist palliative care services, none of the patients with COPD had access to a similar system of specialist care [41].
  • Measures of patient health were survival, the Sickness Impact Profile, self-rated health, the Mini-Mental State Exam, Psychological Distress Scale, Social Support Scale, and Problem Behaviors Scale [42].
