The purpose of this study was to determine if social support intervention would improve the support experienced by stroke survivors and if improvement would result in better psychosocial outcome. Subjects were drawn from a community-based sample that had received rehabilitation services in the hospital and at home. The study was a randomized trial (n = 48 experimental group, n = 40 control group), and measures were taken at entry into the study, immediately after intervention (or, at a comparable time for the control group), and again 3 months later. No significant differences were found between groups either on social support measures or psychosocial outcomes. Secondary analyses showed that significant changes in support had been experienced within the sample as a whole in relation to the subjects' gender, living situation, marital status, and employment status. Findings are discussed in terms of methodologic and programmatic concerns, and recommendations are made for further research with this potentially valuable intervention.
本研究的目的是确定社会支持干预是否会改善中风幸存者所获得的支持，以及这种改善是否会带来更好的心理社会结果。研究对象来自一个基于社区的样本，这些样本在医院和家中接受过康复服务。该研究为随机试验（实验组n = 48，对照组n = 40），在研究开始时、干预后立即（或对照组的可比时间）以及3个月后再次进行测量。在社会支持措施或心理社会结果方面，两组之间未发现显著差异。二次分析表明，就样本整体而言，在支持方面，依据研究对象的性别、生活状况、婚姻状况和就业状况有显著变化。从方法学和项目相关问题的角度对研究结果进行了讨论，并针对这一潜在有价值的干预措施提出了进一步研究的建议。
