Influence of social support on psychosocial dysfunction was studied in fifty newly diagnosed patients with major depression, using Social Support Scale (SSS) and Dysfunctional Analysis Questionnaire (DAQ) to measure social support and psychosocial dysfunction respectively. Total score on SSS did not affect the dysfunction. A positive relationship was observed between items of SSS relating to care, concern and expectations from others and negative relationship observed between SSS items referring to socialization and dysfunction in social and familial areas. The relationship of social support and psychosocial dysfunction appears quite complex with certain elements of social support having a healthy and others having an unhealthy relationship. Since measurement of social support itself is accompanied by a number of methodological problems such as distorted perceptions of psychiatric patients about social support, this makes the relationship more complex.
本研究采用社会支持量表（SSS）和心理社会功能障碍分析问卷（DAQ）分别评估社会支持和心理社会功能障碍，对 50 例首发抑郁症患者的社会支持与心理社会功能障碍的关系进行研究。SSS 总分与心理社会功能障碍无相关性，SSS 中与他人关心、照顾和期望有关的条目与心理社会功能障碍呈正相关，而与社会交往和社会家庭领域功能障碍有关的条目呈负相关。社会支持与心理社会功能障碍的关系非常复杂，某些社会支持因素与健康相关，而某些则与健康负相关。由于社会支持的测量本身存在许多方法学问题，如精神病患者对社会支持的感知扭曲，这使得这种关系更加复杂。
