The improvement of social support promotes the mental health and improves the health status. The study aimed to examine the influence of the social support on symptoms of anxiety and depression among patients with silicosis and provide the scientific basis to further alleviate anxiety and depression and to monitor their whole quality of life. We investigated 324 inpatients with silicosis between April 2011 and September 2011. The HADS (the Hospital Anxiety-Depression Scale) was the major methodology used to evaluate anxiety and depression, and the MSPSS (the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support) to evaluate the social support level. Among patients with silicosis, 99.1% had anxiety symptoms, and 86.1% had depression symptoms. Meanwhile, the social support significantly influenced symptoms of anxiety and depression. The study suggested that patients with silicosis presented more anxiety and depression symptoms, while the social support levels of the patients were relatively low. The influence of social support on symptoms of anxiety and depression among patients with silicosis implied that improving the level of social support and the effective symptomatic treatment might alleviate anxiety and depression symptoms and improve physical and mental status.
社会支持的改善促进心理健康并提升健康状况。本研究旨在探讨社会支持对矽肺病患者焦虑和抑郁症状的影响，并为进一步缓解焦虑和抑郁以及监测其整体生活质量提供科学依据。我们于2011年4月至2011年9月期间对324例矽肺病住院患者进行了调查。使用医院焦虑抑郁量表（HADS）作为评估焦虑和抑郁的主要方法，并用领悟社会支持量表（MSPSS）评估社会支持水平。在矽肺病患者中，99.1%有焦虑症状，86.1%有抑郁症状。同时，社会支持对焦虑和抑郁症状有显著影响。该研究表明，矽肺病患者表现出更多的焦虑和抑郁症状，而患者的社会支持水平相对较低。社会支持对矽肺病患者焦虑和抑郁症状的影响意味着，提高社会支持水平和进行有效的对症治疗可能会缓解焦虑和抑郁症状并改善身心状况。
