本研究的目的是确定老年女性心力衰竭患者的社会支持、症状严重程度和心理健康之间的关系。在家庭访谈进行了80名老年妇女入院后的心力衰竭。受试者被问及他们的情感和有形的支持，症状严重程度和心理健康的看法。更大的情感支持与更大的积极影响和生活满意度有关。更多的有形支持与较少的负面影响有关。无论是情感上的还是有形的支持都不能缓解症状的严重程度。结果表明，情感和有形的支持可能会影响不同方面的心理健康的老年女性心力衰竭。(C)John Wiley & Sons，Inc.
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between social support, symptom severity, and psychological well-being in older women with heart failure. In-home interviews were conducted with 80 older women following a hospital admission for heart failure. Subjects were asked their perceptions of emotional and tangible support received, symptom severity, and psychological well-being. Greater emotional support was related to greater positive affect and satisfaction with life. Greater tangible support was related to less negative affect. Neither emotional nor tangible support buffered symptom severity. The results indicate that emotional and tangible support may each affect different aspects of psychological well-being in older women with heart failure. (C) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
