BACKGROUND
Life satisfaction and perceived social support been shown to improve the well-being of a person and also affect the outcome of treatment in somatization disorder. The phenomenon of somatization was explored in relation to the perceived social support and life satisfaction.
AIM
This study aimed at investigating perceived social support and life satisfaction in people with somatization disorder.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The study was conducted on persons having somatization disorder attending the outpatient unit of LGB Regional Institute of Mental Health, Tezpur, Assam. Satisfaction with life scale and multidimensional scale of perceived social support were used to assess life satisfaction and perceived social support respectively.
RESULTS
Women reported more somatic symptoms than men. Family perceived social support was high in the patient in comparison to significant others' perceived social support and friends' perceived social support. Perceived social support showed that a significant positive correlation was found with life satisfaction.
CONCLUSION
Poor social support and low life satisfaction might be a stress response with regard to increased distress severity and psychosocial stressors rather than a cultural response to express psychological problems in somatic terms.
背景
生活满意度和感知到的社会支持已被证明可改善人的幸福感，还会影响躯体化障碍的治疗结果。研究了躯体化现象与感知到的社会支持和生活满意度之间的关系。
目的
本研究旨在调查躯体化障碍患者的感知社会支持和生活满意度。
材料与方法
该研究针对在阿萨姆邦特兹布尔市LGB地区心理健康研究所门诊部就诊的躯体化障碍患者进行。分别使用生活满意度量表和感知社会支持多维量表来评估生活满意度和感知社会支持。
结果
女性报告的躯体症状比男性更多。与重要他人和朋友的感知社会支持相比，患者的家庭感知社会支持较高。感知社会支持显示与生活满意度呈显著正相关。
结论
社会支持不足和生活满意度低可能是对痛苦严重程度增加和心理社会压力源的一种应激反应，而不是用躯体症状来表达心理问题的一种文化反应。
