BACKGROUND
Mood disorders are highly prevalent in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). MS causes changes to a person's sense of self. The Social Identity Model of Identity Change posits that group membership can have a positive effect on mood during identity change. The family is a social group implicated in adjustment to MS. The objectives of this study were to investigate whether family identity can predict mood in people with MS and to test whether this prediction was mediated by social support and connectedness to others.
METHODS
This cross-sectional survey of 195 participants comprised measures of family identity, family social support, connectedness to others, and mood.
RESULTS
Family identity predicted mood both directly and indirectly through parallel mediators of family social support and connectedness to others.
CONCLUSIONS
Family identity predicted mood as posited by the Social Identity Model of Identity Change. Involving the family in adjustment to MS could reduce low mood.
背景
情绪障碍在多发性硬化症（MS）患者中非常普遍。MS会改变一个人的自我认知。身份改变的社会认同模型认为，在身份改变过程中，群体成员身份对情绪可能产生积极影响。家庭是一个与适应MS相关的社会群体。本研究的目的是调查家庭身份是否能预测MS患者的情绪，并检验这种预测是否通过社会支持和与他人的联系来介导。
方法
这项对195名参与者的横断面调查包括家庭身份、家庭社会支持、与他人的联系和情绪的测量。
结果
家庭身份通过家庭社会支持和与他人的联系这两个平行中介直接和间接地预测了情绪。
结论
如身份改变的社会认同模型所假设的那样，家庭身份预测了情绪。让家庭参与到对MS的适应过程中可能会减轻低落情绪。
