生活压力源和社会资源被认为是精神疾病发展的贡献者，但它们在治疗后这种疾病的过程中所起的作用尚不清楚。本文对424名患有单相抑郁症的成年人进行了为期12个月的随访，研究了治疗前后生活压力源和社会资源的变化及其与治疗结果的关系。正如预期的那样，患者在随访中报告了显著的、多方面的功能改善。患者的社会资源有适度的增加，但令人惊讶的是，压力源没有整体减少。生活压力和资源因素与患者随访时的功能显著相关，即使考虑了患者治疗时功能障碍的严重程度和治疗时间。这些结果中的性别差异很小。这些发现对建立一个关于行为障碍的恢复和复发过程的一般知识体系具有启示意义。
Life stressors and social resources have been implicated as contributors to the development of psychiatric disorders, but their role in the course of such disorders after treatment is less clear. This article examines pre-to posttreatment changes in life stressors and social resources, and their association with treatment outcomes, in a 12-month follow-up of 424 adults with unipolar depression. As expected, patients reported significant, multidimensional improvements in their functioning at follow-up. There were modest increases in patients' social resources but, surprisingly, no overall decrease in stressors. Life stress and resource factors were significantly related to patients' functioning at follow-up, even after considering the severity of their dysfunction at treatment intake and their length of treatment. Gender differences in these results were small. The findings have implications for developing a general body of knowledge about the process of recovery and relapse in behavioral disorders.
