“…In a study on middle-aged and old Australian women (Paxton & Phythian, 1999) positive body image predicted better SRH status. Psychological distress was found to be correlated with poorer SRH (Cano, Scaturo, Sprafkin, Lantinga, Fiese, & Brand, 2003). Low scores in the external locus of control, and high depressive symptomatology, were strongly associated with negative ratings of SRH (Zunzunegui et al, 2003).…”

Self-rated health (SRH) is widely used to assess global health. This study evaluated the SRH of two groups of women aged 40 to 59 and 60+ years. In a sample ( n = 306), from a random telephone survey, variables reflecting sociodemographic status, subjective well-being, and health were examined to explain SRH. The results showed that the two groups differed significantly on measures of subjective well-being, as well as in number of comorbidities and level of disability. Two hierarchical regression analyses showed that whereas the sociodemographic characteristics-in particular education, immigrant status, and economic difficulties-explained 24% in the variance in SRH in the middle-aged group, in the older group only economic difficulties was significantly connected with SRH and explained only 8%. Comorbidity was much more salient in the middle-aged group than in the older group, whereas disability was more dominant in the older than in the middle-aged group. This suggests that SRH reflects psychosocial as well as medical and functional aspects of health.

“…This is commonly measured with a single question with several optional responses ranging from very good to very poor (Cano et al, 2003;Froom et al, 2004). In this study SRH was assessed by one question: "In general, how would you rate your general health?"…”

“…According to the literature, the intensity of PTSD is associated with the length and degree of combat exposure (6)(7)(8), which is mostly accompanied by such disorders as depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and substance abuse (9). As the previous studies indicated, the PTSD is related to the impaired mental and physical health, enhanced drastic behavior, familial and marital adjustment disorders, as well as weak educational and professional performance (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). A large number of the PTSD patients have impairments in their executive functions (19), which weaken the their capability to keep interpersonal relationships, perform self-care behaviors, and fulfill their duties independently (20).…”

Background and Purpose: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is identified as the risk factor for functional difficulties in most of the survivors. The aim of this study was to investigate the current evidence-based literature on the area of self-care and ADL status in the veterans with combat-related PTSD. Methods:This review was conducted on the studies published within 2005-2015. The search was performed using such databases as SID, Iran Medex, Magiran, Science Direct, ProQuest, and PubMed. The searches were initially carried out using single keywords, and then continued with using OR/AND for combining words such as "self-care activity, instrumental activities of daily living, physical functioning, post-traumatic stress disorder in war veterans, etc". Finally, a total of 783 papers were retrieved, out of which only 15 publications were considered relevant to the subject under discussion and investigated in-depth.Results: According to the findings of the reviewed articles, there is a relationship between the self-care status and PTSD severity; as a result, greater PTSD symptoms are accompanied by poorer self-care practices and ADLs. Furthermore, in all the studies, the physical functioning (self-care or ADLs) was lower in the PTSD population in comparison to the non-PTSD population. Conclusion:As the findings of the retrieved articles indicated, it can be conclude that the self-care practices and ADLs were poor among the veterans suffering from PTSD. Therefore, it is necessary that nurses develop a comprehensive care planning for this population to facilitate their achievement of independence in ADLs.
