Despite the fact that social support has been found to be important to cardiovascular health, there is a paucity of information regarding the relationship between social support and outcomes long-term after heart transplantation (HT). The purposes of this study were to examine demographic and psychosocial characteristics and their relationship to social support after HT, and identify if sociodemographic variables are predictors of satisfaction with social support post HT. Data were collected from 555 HT patients (pts) (78% male, 88% white, mean age=53.8 years at time of transplant) at 4 U.S. medical centers using the following instruments: Social Support Index, QOL Index, HT Stressor Scale, Jalowiec Coping Scale, Sickness Impact Profile, Cardiac Depression Scale, and medical records review Statistical analyses included t-tests, correlations, and linear and multivariable regression. There were no associations between education, and ethnicity and perception of social support at 5 and 10 yrs after HT. Married and older pts reported higher satisfaction with social support after HT. Being married and higher education were predictors of better overall satisfaction with social support at 10 years post heart transplantation. Knowledge of relationships among sociodemographic factors and social support may assist clinicians to address social support needs and resources long-term after HT.
