To evaluate perceived social support (PSS) in ischemic heart disease (IHD) patients who report hopelessness.
Using a cross-sectional design, 156 patients were screened during their hospitalization for moderate to severe state hopelessness. Twenty patients who reported hopelessness during hospitalization and maintained hopelessness one week after hospital discharge were included.
A moderately strong negative correlation was identified between PSS and state hopelessness (r = -0.54, p = .014). PSS was significantly higher in married/partnered patients (26.7 ± 4.85) compared to unmarried/unpartnered patients (18 ± 9.18; t = 2.45, p = .035).
Social support may help reduce hopelessness in vulnerable cardiac patients, especially those who are unpartnered.
评估报告绝望情绪的缺血性心脏病（IHD）患者的感知社会支持（PSS）。
采用横断面设计，在住院期间对 156 名中度至重度状态绝望的患者进行筛查。在住院期间报告绝望并在出院后一周内仍保持绝望的 20 名患者被纳入研究。
PSS 与状态绝望之间存在中度强负相关（r=-0.54，p=.014）。与未婚/无伴侣患者（18±9.18；t=2.45，p=.035）相比，已婚/有伴侣患者的 PSS 显著更高（26.7±4.85）。
社会支持可能有助于减少脆弱性心脏病患者的绝望情绪，特别是那些无伴侣的患者。
