背景：以前的研究表明，社会支持-心理健康的联系在不同的社交网络中是不同的。然而，需要进一步的研究来确定在更广泛的社交网络中用于相互支持互动的这些特定于网络的关联是否包括桥接关系成员。方法：我们在日本大阪进行了自填式问卷调查。研究对象包括659名老年前期参与者(年龄65-74岁)和888名老年参与者(年龄75-)。采用SF-36V2量表进行心理健康测评。我们测量了三种类型的社交网络成员(亲戚、朋友或邻居)，并将他们分为情感或工具性社会支持的接受者或来源。我们进行了多重回归，以调查在社会支持对心理健康的影响方面，哪个网络成员是有益的。结果：只有邻里社会支持与心理健康呈正相关。亲属或朋友的社会支持亚型之间的关联性不一致。只有在之前的老年组中才发现了积极的联系。结论：对于老年前期的人来说，只有邻居，而不是亲戚或朋友，在社会支持互动中的存在与心理健康有一致的有益关联，无论角色或功能如何。社区心理健康促进干预应考虑到邻里社会支持的可及性，并在以后的生活中进行社会网络改造。
Background: Previous studies have shown the social support-mental health associations varied in different bonding social networks. However, a further study is needed to determine these network-specific associations for mutually supportive interaction in a wider social network include bridging relationship members. Method: We conducted a self-reported questionnaire in Osaka, Japan. The study included 659 pre-old age participants (age 65-74 years) and 888 old age participants (age 75-89 years). SF-36v2 was used to measure mental health. We measured three types of social network members (kin, friends, or neighbours) and divided them into recipients or sources of emotional or instrumental social support. We performed multiple regressions to investigate which network member is beneficial in terms of the impact of social support on mental health. Results: Only the neighbour social support was positively related with mental health in all subtypes. Associations were inconsistent amongst kin or friend social support subtypes. Positive associations were only found within the pre-old group. Conclusion: For pre-old people, only the presence of neighbours, not kin members, or friends, in social supportive interactions has consistently beneficial associations with mental health, regardless of the roles or functions. Accessibility of neighbour social support should be considered into community-based mental health promotion interventions along with the social network transformation in later life.
