我们测试的假设,在妇女谁是慢性病,重新排序的生活价值观保持心理健康。进行了一项以社区为基础的前瞻性纵向研究,其中数据来自1986年的601名妇女,当时妇女的平均年龄为42岁,2003年再次获得,当时妇女的平均年龄为58岁。随着年龄的增长,女性的生活价值观发生了显着变化,其中慢性疾病女性(n= 476)的变化比无慢性疾病女性(n= 125)的变化更大。对内在生活价值(健康和爱)的评估增加和外在生活价值(权力,名誉和吸引力)的评估减少与慢性疾病女性随后更好的心理健康相关,但对那些没有慢性疾病的女性则没有。
We tested the hypothesis that among women who are chronically ill, a re-ordering of life values maintains mental health. A community-based prospective longitudinal study was conducted in which data were obtained from 601 women in 1986, when the women were with mean age 42 and again in 2003, when the women were with mean age 58. There was a significant change in life values as women aged with more change among women with chronic disease (n= 476) than those without chronic disease (n= 125). Increased valuation of intrinsic life values (health and love) and decreased valuation of extrinsic life values (power, fame and attractiveness) were associated with subsequent better mental health for women with chronic disease, but not for those without chronic disease.
