We compared patient ratings of the desirability of anxiety health states with measures of psychological distress and functional status and investigated how these ratings predicted treatment by primary care and mental health clinicians. As expected, associations between desirability ratings and psychological and physical health status were low to moderate. Persons who rated their current anxiety health state as more desirable received fewer mental health referrals and were statistically more likely to receive a prescription for psychotropic medication. Simple ratings of health state desirability may help clinicians evaluate patients' views of their health status and discuss potential treatment options.
我们将患者对焦虑健康状态的期望评分与心理困扰和功能状态指标进行了比较，并调查了这些评分如何预测初级保健和心理健康临床医生的治疗情况。正如预期的那样，期望评分与心理和身体健康状况之间的关联为低到中度。那些将自己当前的焦虑健康状态评为更理想的人获得的心理健康转诊较少，并且在统计学上更有可能获得精神药物处方。健康状态期望的简单评分可能有助于临床医生评估患者对其健康状况的看法，并讨论潜在的治疗方案。
