“…Both optimism and social support have previously been found to be related to better coping post-transplant and higher HRQOL following HSCT [9,[13][14][15] and in other patient groups [16][17][18][19][20][21]. Similarly, in an earlier qualitative study exploring the meaning of HRQOL for HSCT patients [22], seven themes were identified that positively influenced HRQOL, including social support, a positive attitude, and having goals, as identified in this study.…”

“…Perceived social support improved regardless of treatment assignment. In a HF observational study by Bennett et al, 53 changes in social support predicted changes in 12-month HRQOL. These findings show that social support can be improved, and improved social support can be related to improvement in HRQOL.…”

Background and Purpose Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is as important as survival to patients with heart failure (HF). Perceptions of loss of control are common in HF and negatively affect HRQOL. Knowledge of modifiable factors associated with perceived control could guide the development of interventions to improve perceived control and thus HRQOL. Accordingly, this study examined factors related to perceived control and the relationship between perceived control and HRQOL. Methods Patients (N = 232, mean age 61 ± 12, 67% male, 78% Caucasian) provided data on HRQOL (Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire), perceived control (Control Attitudes Scale-Revised), and factors possibly associated with perceived control (knowledge and barriers [Heart Failure Knowledge and Barriers to Adherence Scale], attitudes [Dietary Sodium Restriction Questionnaire], and social support [Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support]). Patients also provided data on depressive symptoms, which were a covariate of HRQOL. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the data. Results Fewer barriers to following a low sodium diet, more positive attitudes toward following a low sodium diet, and better social support were related to higher perceived control (F = 7.54, R2 = .17, p < .001). Perceived control was independently associated with HRQOL, controlling for depressive symptoms, New York Heart Association functional class, age, gender, and all variables possibly associated with perceived control (F = 29.67, R2 = .55, p < .001). Conclusions Interventions targeting attitudes and barriers to a low sodium diet and social support may improve perceived control and, in turn, HRQOL.

“…In another study. 17 Changes in social support, but not baseline social support, measured by the MOS-SSS predicted changes in HRQOL measured by another disease-specific instrument. However, in other studies, 22, 44 social support measured by the MOS-SSS was not related to HRQOL measured by a generic instrument.…”

“…In previous studies in which the relationship between social support and HRQOL was examined, 17, 27, 28 several instruments were used to measure social support or HRQOL. Social support including emotional/information support, positive social interactions, affectionate support, and tangible social support were related to the physical subscale score of the LHFQ, but not to the emotional subscale score or the SF-36 score.…”

“…12, 16 The relationship between HRQOL and social support has been examined in some studies, but the findings have been inconsistent. 17–22 The effects of social support on morbidity and mortality have also been examined in some studies, and the findings were inconsistent. 23–28 One reason for the inconsistency may be that the studies used different instruments.…”

Background: Social status may impact health-related quality of life (HRQOL), hospitalization, and mortality in patients with heart failure (HF). Purpose: To determine if social status was associated with HRQOL and event-free survival. Hypotheses: Higher social status (quality of perceived support, emotional support, marital status, and economic status) is related to better HRQOL and event-free survival after controlling covariates (New York Heart Association [NYHA] functional class, comorbidity status, and age). Methods: Patients (N = 147, 61 ± 11 years old, 70% male, 62% NYHA class III/IV) provided data on HRQOL (measured by the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire) and social status. Event-free survival data were collected by medical record reviews and patient or family interviews. Hierarchical regression analysis and survival analysis were used to test the hypothesis. Results: Better quality of perceived support, better economic status, better functional status, older age, and less comorbidity were related to better HRQOL (R2 = .365, p = <.001). Only economic status predicted event-free survival. Conclusion: Attention should be given to those who have lower social support to improve HRQOL and those who have lower economic status to improve event-free survival.
