Objective To investigate the mental health status, perceived social support, as well as the relationship between them among middle school students in Wenchuan Earthquake region, so as to provide references for the relevant department to formulate appropriate strategies and intervention measures. Methods A cluster sampling method was adopted to select all 1698 students (excluded the students in Grade 3) as the research subjects from three middle schools in the disaster regions. All students were investigated with self-designed basic information questionnaire, Symptom CheckList 90 (SCL-90) and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) through self-administered questionnaire. Results The overall positive rate on the SCL-90 was 46.3% among 1690 students, of whom 66.6% had mild psychological problems and 26.5% had moderate to severe psychological problems. The positive rate on the SCL-90 and the score for each factor of SCL-90 were statistically higher in the female students than male students (Plt;0.05). Compared with the senior middle school students, the score on the phobic anxiety subscale of the SCL-90 was statistically higher in the junior middle school students (Plt;0.05), while the score on the obsessive-compulsive subscale was otherwise statistically lower (Plt;0.05). With the exception of the hostility subscale, the score on each subscale of the SCL-90 in the urban students was statistically lower than the rural students (Plt;0.05). The median score on the perceived social support subscale was 60.00, with significant differences between the students of different sexes and grades (Plt;0.05). The overall score on the perceived social support subscale was negatively correlated with the SCL-90 score (r= –0.261, Plt;0.05). The score was negatively correlated with the SCL-90 score in the students regarding different sexes, grades and living areas prior to the earthquake (Plt;0.05). Conclusion The middle school students in the disaster regions have prominent psychological problems; perceived social support is helpful to promote the development of their mental health. In conducting psychological intervention, the difference of individuals’ mental health among different student groups should be concerned, so as to carry out targeted counseling and education.

Methods According to “Social Support Assessment Inventory”, the social support conditions of 80 patients with leukemia who were hospitalized between August and November, 2010 were analyzed. Results The total score of social support was 42.34±7.04 in inpatients with leukemia, and 34.56±3.74 in normal controls; the difference was significant (Plt;0.01). The patients who remained single or had no medical insurance obtained less social support. Conclusions Nurses should help patients with leukemia keep in a moderate high level of social support to promote the recovery of patients and improve their quality of life.
Objective To study the relationships among health-related quality of life( HRQL) ,social support, excessive daytime sleepiness ( EDS) and PSG parameters in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome ( OSAHS) . Methods Eighty-five patients were recruited who were diagnosed as OSAHS by overnight polysomnography from August 2007 through November 2007 in West China Hospital.The Calgary sleep apnea quality of life index ( SAQLI) was used for HRQL, social support rating scale ( SSRS) was used for social support, and Epworth sleepiness scale( ESS) was used for EDS. The Pearson linear correlation and stepwise multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the correlation among SAQLI, SSRS, ESS, and PSG. Results The SAQLI was correlated with SSRS score ( r =0. 402, P lt;0. 01) ;ESS score ( r = - 0. 505, P lt;0. 01) ; apnea-hypopnea index ( AHI) ( r = - 0. 269, P lt; 0. 05) and lowest artery oxygen saturation ( LSaO2) ( r = 0. 226, P lt; 0. 05) . Stepwise multiple regression analysis determined two variables, the SSRS and ESS score, as independent factors for predicting the total score of SAQLI which accounted for 37. 3% of the total variance in the total score on SAQLI ( R2 = 0. 373, P lt; 0.001) .Conclusions The HRQL of patients with OSAHS was correlated with the SSRS score, ESS score and PSG parameters. The former two were the more important factors to affect the HRQL of patients with OSAHS.
Objective To reflect the correlation between social support and mental health of the aged through the Pearson correlation coefficient. Methods Databases including PubMed, SpringerLink, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, VIP, WanFang Data and CNKI were searched from inception to October, 2011 to collect literature on the correlation between social support and mental health of the aged. The studies were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After extracting data and assessing the quality of the included studies, meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.0 software. Results Of the 2 396 identified studies, 4 studies were included. The results showed that 4 studies were not high in the overall quality. The total score of social support of the elderly and its three dimensions were related to mental health. Among 9 factors associated with mental health, somatization, depression and anxiety were weakly correlated to the objective support while the others were extremely weakly correlated. Anxiety and phobic anxiety were weakly correlated to the subjective support while the others were extremely weakly correlated. Phobic anxiety was weakly correlated to the utilizing degree while the others were extremely weakly correlated. Somatization, anxiety and phobic anxiety were weakly correlated to the total score of social support while the others were extremely weakly correlated. Conclusion Social support probably improves mental health of the aged to some extent.
Objective To investigate the family burden of depression inpatients, analyze the influencing factors and explore the approach to reduce the family burden. Methods On-the-spot investigation was conducted for the family members of 200 depression inpatients in Mental Health Center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January to December, 2008. Following questionnaires used for investigation were all self-scale and filled out by the family members: “Basic Information Scale of Patients and Family Members”, “Family Burden Scale of Patients with Depression” revised from Pai’s scale of “Burden on the Family of Disease” (scoring 0-48 points and covering 24 items under 6 dimensions, namely, financial burden, disruption of routine family activities, disruption of family leisure, disruption of family interactions, effect on physical health of family members, and effect on mental health of family members; rating each item on a 3-class scale, namely, zero for no burden, one for moderate burden, and two for severe burden) , and Xiao Shuiyuan’s “Social Support Scale” (10 items in total, a higher score indicates a better social support). SPSS 13.0 software was adopted to perform statistical analyses. Results The total score of family burden was 26.3±12.6, the positive answer rate of family burden was 100.0%, and the positive answer rate of the every dimension was above 80%. The score of family burden for parents and spouse was higher than that of children (Plt;0.05). The total score of social support was 40.22±9.06, and the correlation coefficient between family burden and family social support was –0.485 (Plt;0.001). Conclusion It is common for family members of depression patients to get family burden at different levels. The more social support family members get, the less the family burden is.
Objective To compare the social support condition of Three Gorges migrants, that is, latter resettled migrants (in Chongqing) versus outside moving migrants (in Shandong). Methods Migrants were selected in both Chongqing Municipality and Shandong Province by a cluster random sampling method, and the survey was performed by completing the questionnaire of general status and the social support rating scale (SSRS). Results A total of 319 among 330 questionnaires distributed to Chongqing migrants were effective, accounting for 98.3%, and 320 among 340 questionnaires distributed to Shangdong migrants were effective, accounting for 94.1%. The results of the survey on social support showed that, a) The total score of social support of Chongqing migrants was significantly lower than that of Shandong migrants (Plt;0.01); b) The total score of Chongqing migrants in different genders was significantly lower than that of Shandong migrants in the same gender, respectively (Plt;0.05); c) All the scores of Chongqing migrants were significantly lower than those of Shandong migrants at the same age level except the objective score of the migrants at the age below 50 (Plt;0.05); and d) All the scores of Chongqing migrants were significantly lower than those of Shandong migrants at the same education levels except the objective score of the migrants at the education level above junior high school (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Compared to the latter resettled migrants in Chongqing, outside moving migrants in Shandong obtain more social support and fully take advantage of that.
Objective Depression is a common consequence after stroke and has become a significant issue in clinical practice and research. The aim of this study was to explore associated factors of post-stroke depression among first-ever stroke patients in Hong Kong. Methods A longitudinal study was conducted to collect data in face-to-face interviews and by physical assessment at two time points: T1, within 48 hours of admission to a rehabilitation hospital; and T2, 6 months after the first interview. T2 interviews and assessments were conducted in the participant’s current place of residence. Participants were first-ever stroke patients in Hong Kong. Post-stroke depression was measured using the Center of Epidemiological Study-Depression (CES-D) Scale. Backward linear regression analysis was performed to examine factors associated with level of post-stroke depression at T2. Results Our findings showed that 69% of participants exhibited clinically relevant levels of depressive symptoms at T1 and 48% at T2. Regression analysis revealed complex relationships between the level of depressive symptoms, demographic characteristics and variations in perceived levels of social support. Five variables were found to explain 55% of the variance in depressive symptoms at T2. The variables with significant standardized regression coefficients (β) were: companionship (P=0.001), informational support (P=0.025), baseline level of depressive symptoms (Plt;0.001), ADL dependence level (Plt;0.001) and being a homemaker before the stroke (P=0.039). Conclusions We have followed a group of stroke patients over a 6-month period. Our findings suggest that when screening for post-stroke depression, health professionals must take into consideration of the clinical, socio-personal characteristics that might increase a stroke patient’s vulnerability to develop depression after stroke.
