To explore psychological symptoms in emerging adults with spina bifida (SB) and their association with self-management and satisfaction with family functioning.
Longitudinal data were collected at 2 time points, 15 months apart, in 48 individuals with SB. Reliable change indices and paired samples t-tests assessed change in anxiety and depressive symptoms. Hierarchical regression models explored the contributions of SB severity, family satisfaction, and self-management in explaining change in psychological symptoms.
No significant group level differences in psychological symptoms were found across time in participants (Mean age 22 years), but significant individual-level change in anxiety symptoms (n = 13) and depressive symptoms (n = 9) was observed. Improved satisfaction with family functioning was associated with decreased anxiety symptoms (b = -0.30, p = .02), and increased SB self-management was related to reduced depressive symptoms (b = -0.63, p = .01).
Changes in self-management and satisfaction with family functioning may influence the course of psychological symptoms.
探讨新成年脊柱裂(SB)患者的心理症状及其与自我管理和家庭功能满意度的关系。
在 15 个月的 2 个时间点,对 48 名 SB 患者进行了纵向数据收集。可靠变化指数和配对样本 t 检验评估了焦虑和抑郁症状的变化。分层回归模型探讨了 SB 严重程度、家庭满意度和自我管理对解释心理症状变化的贡献。
在参与者(平均年龄 22 岁)中,在时间上没有发现心理症状的显著组间差异,但观察到焦虑症状(n = 13)和抑郁症状(n = 9)的显著个体水平变化。家庭功能满意度的提高与焦虑症状的减少有关(b = -0.30,p =.02),SB 自我管理的增加与抑郁症状的减少有关(b = -0.63,p =.01)。
自我管理和家庭功能满意度的变化可能会影响心理症状的发展。
