The mental health of elderly individuals in rural areas is increasingly relevant as populations age and social structures change. While social support satisfaction is a well-established predictor of quality of life, interpersonal sensitivity symptoms may diminish this relation. The current study extends the findings of Scogin et al by investigating the relationship among interpersonal sensitivity, social support satisfaction, and quality of life among rural older adults and exploring the mediating role of social support in the relation between interpersonal sensitivity and quality of life (N = 128). Hierarchical regression revealed that interpersonal sensitivity and social support satisfaction predicted quality of life. In addition, bootstrapping resampling supported the role of social support satisfaction as a mediator between interpersonal sensitivity symptoms and quality of life. These results underscore the importance of nurses and allied health providers in assessing and attending to negative self-perceptions of clients, as well as the perceived quality of their social networks.
随着人口老龄化和社会结构的变化，农村老年人的心理健康问题变得越来越重要。虽然社会支持满意度是生活质量的一个公认预测指标，但人际敏感症状可能会削弱这种关系。本研究通过调查农村老年人的人际敏感性、社会支持满意度和生活质量之间的关系，并探讨社会支持在人际敏感性与生活质量关系中的中介作用（N = 128），扩展了斯科金等人的研究结果。分层回归显示，人际敏感性和社会支持满意度可预测生活质量。此外，自抽样法支持了社会支持满意度在人际敏感症状与生活质量之间的中介作用。这些结果强调了护士和相关健康服务提供者在评估和关注客户的负面自我认知以及他们所感知的社交网络质量方面的重要性。
