The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between self-reported hopelessness and risk factors for premature mortality in people with serious mental illness (SMI). Data were extracted from the 2014 Health Center Patient Survey ( = 5,592). Having a diagnosis of SMI was significantly associated with self-reported hopelessness. Hypertension or high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder were significantly associated with self-reported hopelessness. Higher levels of hopelessness were found to be significantly associated with increased alcohol consumption. Hopelessness may be an important dimension of health in people with SMI.
本研究的目的是探讨严重精神疾病(SMI)患者自我报告的绝望感与过早死亡风险因素之间的关系。数据取自2014年健康中心患者调查(n = 5592)。被诊断为SMI与自我报告的绝望感显著相关。高血压、充血性心力衰竭和慢性阻塞性肺疾病与自我报告的绝望感显著相关。较高水平的绝望感与饮酒量增加显著相关。绝望感可能是SMI患者健康状况的一个重要维度。
