The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between social support, symptom severity, and psychological well-being in older women with heart failure. In-home interviews were conducted with 80 older women following a hospital admission for heart failure. Subjects were asked their perceptions of emotional and tangible support received, symptom severity, and psychological well-being. Greater emotional support was related to greater positive affect and satisfaction with life. Greater tangible support was related to less negative affect. Neither emotional nor tangible support buffered symptom severity. The results indicate that emotional and tangible support may each affect different aspects of psychological well-being in older women with heart failure.
本研究的目的是确定老年心力衰竭女性患者的社会支持、症状严重程度与心理健康之间的关系。对80名因心力衰竭入院的老年女性进行了家访。研究人员询问了受试者对所获得的情感支持和实际支持的看法、症状严重程度以及心理健康状况。更多的情感支持与更积极的情绪和更高的生活满意度相关。更多的实际支持与更少的消极情绪相关。情感支持和实际支持均未缓解症状严重程度。结果表明，情感支持和实际支持可能分别影响老年心力衰竭女性患者心理健康的不同方面。
