“…Este constructo se ha asociado con diversos indicadores de salud mental. De este modo, un soporte eficiente se asocia con menores riesgos de contraer enfermedades físicas o problemas de salud mental (Tsouna-Hadjis et al, 2000;Barrón & Sán-chez, 2001;McInnis & White 2001;Martínez, García & Maya, 2001), así como con el bienestar subjetivo (Siedlecki et al, 2013;Thomas, 2010;Hombrados-Mendieta et al, 2012;Gallegos-Carillo et al, 2009) y otros indicadores de salud (Reid, Stajduhar & Chappell, 2010). De modo que la percepción de disponibilidad del apoyo social jugará un rol fundamental en el mantenimiento de la integridad física y psíquica de los individuos.…”

ResumenEl objetivo de este artículo es adaptar y validar la Escala de Apoyo Social Subjetivo (EASS, de Vaux et al., 1986), a la vez que describir su estructura factorial. Esta escala está compuesta por 10 ítems distribuidos en dos dimensiones: apoyo familiar y apoyo de los amigos. Se examinan las propiedades psicométricas de la escala y la dimensionalidad de la misma en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios chilenos (N = 681). Los resultados indican que el EASS constituye un instrumento fiable (α = .86) y válido para la medición del apoyo social subjetivo. Las dimensiones de la EASS obtienen entre sí una correlación significativa y moderada (r = .41; p < .001). Las cargas factoriales para los ítems en el análisis factorial confirmatorio fluctuaron entre .40 y .93, mostrando buenos índices de ajuste para el modelo de dos factores de primer orden correlacionados (CFI = .97, TLI = .93, RFI = .97, IFI = .97, NFI = .96 y RSMEA = .08). Palabras clave: Apoyo social subjetivo, apoyo familiar, apoyo de amistades, propiedades psicométricas FACTOR STRUCTURE OF THE SUBJECTIVE SOCIAL SUPPORT SCALE: VALIDATION WITH A SAMPLE OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN CHILE AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to adapt and validate the Subjective Social Support Scale (Vaux et al, 1986) and to describe its factor structure. The scale consists of 10 items distributed in two dimensions measured in the original instrument: family support and support from friends. The psychometric properties and dimensionality of the scale are examined in a sample of Chilean college students (N = 681). Results show that the scale is a reliable instrument (α = .86) and valid for measuring subjective social support. Its two dimensions show a moderate and significant correlation (r = .41; p < .001). The factor loadings of the items in the confirmatory factor analysis varied between .40 and .93, showing good fit indices for the correlated first order two factor model (CFI = .97, TLI = .93, RFI = .97, IFI = .97, NFI = .96 and RSMEA = .08).

“…For example, it has been shown that the use of assistive devices has a strong impact on stroke survivors' daily activities [7,8]. Another example is the widely accepted but less studied impact of social support, which facilitates stroke outcome [9,10]. The best documented environmental factor in the context of stroke is possibly stroke unit care as a type of health care service [11].…”

Purpose. To identify facilitators and barriers among persons with first-ever stroke discharged to the home in the first 3 months post-stroke by means of ICF categories. Method. Stroke survivors were interviewed using semi-structured questions based on the ICF categories of Environmental factors of the Comprehensive ICF Core Set for Stroke (extended version) at 6 weeks and at 3 months post-stroke.Results. The study sample exists of 67 stroke survivors with an average age of 71 years (51% women). Eleven environmental factors from the ICF chapters 'support and relationship', 'products and technology' and 'services, systems and policies' were experienced to be facilitators and only 'physical geography' was experienced as a barrier by 50% or more of the participants in the study. Conclusions. It was possible to document facilitators and barriers among stroke survivors in a structured way using ICF categories. The high number of experienced facilitators gives an idea of how well stroke care functions in Sweden. There is a great need for further studies examining environmental factors in the post-stroke phase.

“…In a A. Matsuyama Open Journal of Nursing previous study that measured social support by the frequency of family visits, frequency of family visits was reported to be associated with mortality in patients with large burns [17]. In addition, a high level of social support from family members has been reported to improve the functional status and mental health conditions of patients with stroke [5]. Therefore, we used the frequency of family visits as a measure of social support in this research [17].…”

“…Therefore, social support indirectly influences walking ability. It has been reported that a high level of social support from family members improves the functional status and mental health of patients with stroke [5]. A study may be necessary to investigate the association between spirituality and social support in the future.…”

Factors Associated with the Walking Ability of Hemiplegic Stroke Patients

Gait disturbance due to motor paralysis affects activities of daily living and quality of life in patients with stroke. Thus, commencing walking training from the acute phase of recovery is essential. This study aimed to clarify the factors affecting the walking ability of hemiplegic stroke patients. Eighty hospitalized patients with a first chemic or hemorrhagic stroke within 1 year but not less than 1 month after stroke onset were included in this study. The dependent variable was walking ability (Functional Independence Measure [FIM] locomotion score), and the independent variables were spirituality (Spirituality Rating Scale-A [SRS-A]), amount of social support (Japanese version of the Abbreviated Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, frequency of family visit), stroke severity (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS]), degree of motor paralysis (lower extremity Brunnstrom stage), the lower limb loading force of the affected and unaffected side, and age. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were performed. Multiple regression analysis showed that FIM locomotion score was associated with NIHSS (standard partial regression coefficient = −0.362, P < 0.001), the unaffected lower limb loading force (standard partial regression coefficient = 0.264, P < 0.001), lower extremity Brunnstrom stage (standard partial regression coefficient = 0.352, P < 0.001), and SRS-A (standard partial regression coefficient = 0.184, P < 0.011). From our findings, walking ability was affected by stroke severity and the degree of paralysis, the unaffected lower limb loading force, and the spirituality level in patients with stroke. Promoting walking ability in patients with stroke includes training the unaffected lower limb and heightening spirituality. Training of the unaffected lower limb should be performed at the bedside or on the bed by the patient or a bedside nurse. To heighten spirituality, nurses who care for patients with stroke are encouraged to practice active listening and to show sympathy as part of emotional support and spiritual care.
