A test of the compensatory hierarchical model of social support sources was conducted in a sample of 80 older women with heart disease. Relationships of support sources to measures of psychological well-being also were investigated. Emotional and tangible support sources fit the model with the exception that unmarried women without children named friends more often than extended family as emotional support sources. Receipt of emotional support from nonfamily members rather than from sources including family members was related to lower positive affect. Similarly, receipt of tangible support from nonfamily members rather than from sources including family members was related to less satisfaction with life. Factors that disrupt the family relationships of older women with illness are worthy of further exploration.
在80名患有心脏病的老年女性样本中，对社会支持来源的补偿性层次模型进行了测试。还研究了支持来源与心理健康指标之间的关系。情感和实际支持来源符合该模型，但无子女的未婚女性将朋友列为情感支持来源的频率高于大家庭成员。从非家庭成员而非包括家庭成员在内的来源获得情感支持与较低的积极情绪有关。同样，从非家庭成员而非包括家庭成员在内的来源获得实际支持与对生活的满意度较低有关。扰乱患病老年女性家庭关系的因素值得进一步探讨。
