Relationships among psychological well-being, pain, and disability were investigated in 77 osteoarthritis patients who were followed up for 12 weeks by a multidisciplinary assessment and management team. The General Well-Being Schedule and six subscales were used to measure overall psychological well-being in this group of elderly patients (mean age, 69 years). Individuals with high levels of pain and disability at the initial and final visits had less psychological well-being, less control over emotions and behaviors, more concern about their health, and more depressive symptoms. Patients who were more disabled reported lower energy levels and more anxiety. Overall, the subset of osteoarthritis patients aged 65 to 74 years was similar in psychological well-being to the same age group in the general population.
一个多学科评估与管理团队对77名骨关节炎患者进行了为期12周的随访，调查了他们心理健康、疼痛和残疾之间的关系。使用总体幸福感量表和六个子量表来测量这组老年患者（平均年龄69岁）的总体心理健康状况。在初次和末次就诊时疼痛和残疾程度较高的个体，其心理健康水平较低，对情绪和行为的控制能力较差，对自身健康更为担忧，且抑郁症状更多。残疾程度更高的患者报告精力水平较低且焦虑情绪更多。总体而言，65至74岁的骨关节炎患者亚组在心理健康方面与一般人群中的同年龄组相似。
