McGrath/Barone 9309267 It is generally accepted that psycho social stress is causally related to health but the precise nature of this relationship is not clear. The purpose of the present study is to examine the importance of social factors, particularly social support and culturally determined differences in health-related behaviors, as intervening variables linking psycho social stress and health outcome. In particular, the interrelationships between psycho social stress, social support, and the frequency, duration, and severity of morbid Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) episodes will be examined in Asian and British residents of two cities in Great Britain. IBD is a category of chronic gastrointestinal tract diseases, of unknown etiology, that produces episodes of nausea, pain and bloody diarrhea. Europe in general and Great Britain in particular are known to have the highest worldwide prevalences of IBD, suggesting a genetic predisposition for people of European ancestry. However, Asians living in Great Britain exhibit prevalences of IBD similar to native Britons. The fact that both Asians and native Britons exhibit high prevalences of IBD suggests that non genetic factors play an important role in the etiology of IBD and that these factors impact equally on British and Asian residents of Great Britain. Psycho social stress is associated with disease onset and recurrence by physicians and patients. Pilot research in Leicester, England suggests cultural differences in perceived stress and health behavior affect the frequency, duration, and severity of IBD episodes, differences masked in prevalence rat es. It is the hypothesis of the present study that British and Asian populations have different cultural patterns for identifying and responding through behavior to stressful situations, resulting in different patterns of health and stress-related chronic disease, in this case IBD. *** McGrath/Barone It is generally accepted that psycholsocial stress is causally related to health but the precise nature of thi % ' ! ! !

麦格拉思/巴隆9309267 人们普遍认为心理社会压力与健康有因果关系，但这种关系的确切性质尚不清楚。 本研究的目的是探讨社会因素的重要性，特别是社会支持和文化决定的差异，在健康相关的行为，作为干预变量连接心理社会压力和健康结果。 特别是，心理社会压力，社会支持，发病率，持续时间和严重程度的炎症性肠病（IBD）发作之间的相互关系将在英国的两个城市的亚洲和英国居民进行检查。 IBD是一种病因不明的慢性胃肠道疾病，可引起恶心、疼痛和血性腹泻。 欧洲，特别是英国，是世界上IBD患病率最高的国家，这表明欧洲血统的人具有遗传易感性。 然而，生活在英国的亚洲人表现出与英国本土人相似的IBD患病率。 事实上，亚洲人和英国本地人表现出IBD的高患病率表明，非遗传因素在IBD的病因学中起着重要作用，这些因素同样影响英国和亚洲居民。 心理社会压力与医生和患者的疾病发作和复发有关。 在英国莱斯特进行的初步研究表明，感知压力和健康行为的文化差异影响IBD发作的频率、持续时间和严重程度，患病率的差异被掩盖。 本研究的假设是，英国人和亚洲人在识别和应对压力情况的行为方面具有不同的文化模式，从而导致不同的健康模式和与压力相关的慢性疾病，在这种情况下是IBD。 *** 麦格拉思/巴隆 人们普遍认为，心理社会压力与健康有因果关系，但这种压力的确切性质是不确定的。 % ' ! ! !
