Functional disability and psychological well-being in later life: Does source of support matter?

Abstract: The results emphasize the importance of encouraging a partnership between natural helpers and health care professionals. A good integration between formal and informal networks could more effectively meet the needs of the frail older adults and their families. This study also calls for more attention to the cultural competence of health care policy and service delivery.

“…Results also showed that total social support from family and nonfamily members has a significant effect on depression because lower levels of social support predicted higher levels of depression. This result is consistent with the findings of Chao (2012) and Bozo, Toksabay, and Kurum (2009), which state that higher satisfaction with social support, will lead to fewer depressive symptoms. Satisfaction with social support emerged as a strong predictor of elderly depression (Bozo et al, 2009;Grav et al, 2012).…”

“…It is also associated with the occurrence of depression (Potts, 1997;Cheng & Boey, 2000;Horowitz, Reinhardt, Boerner, & Travis, 2003;Cummings & Cockerham, 2004;Tiedt, 2010;Chao, 2012;Zhang & Li, 2011;Grav et al, 2012;Fauth et al, 2012). For example, in a study conducted by Chao (2012), greater network size, broader networks, more frequency of contact and higher satisfaction with support were all associated with less occurrence of depressive symptoms among the elders in Taiwan. In the same way, Fauth et al, (2012) observe in their longitudinal study that greater social support was associated with fewer depressive symptoms at the onset of disability and post disability of elder residents in Sweden.…”

“…The analysis results confirm the protective effect of social support against the manifestation of depressive symptoms in old age (Chao, 2011(Chao, , 2012. However, the analytic results further revealed that disabled elders were less likely to receive social support from families and friends compared to nondisabled elders.…”

“…Some disabled older people tend to express fewer depressive symptoms compared to their functionally impaired counterparts. Previous studies have suggested that internal (i.e., perceived stress) and external (i.e., social support) resources may moderate or mediate the impact of stress on disabled elders' emotional well-being (Chao, 2012;Hsu & Tung, 2010;Nemeroff, Midlarsky, & Meyer, 2010). However, relatively little information is available on how these internal and external factors are connected to exert longitudinal effects on older individuals' psychological adjustments in response to declining physical status.…”

“…With just a brief scan of PsychInfo for research in 2012, 144 articles came up with social support and well-being as search terms. Belonging to a valued social group predicted positive outcomes such as lower stress or higher psychological well-being in adolescents (Tisdale & Pitt-Catsuphes, 2012), college students (Chao, 2011), caregivers of people with disabilities or emotional disturbances (Ownsworth, Henderson, & Chambers, 2010;Palamaro, Kilmer, Cook, & Reeve, 2012), men living in remote areas (Kutek, Turnbull, & Fairweather-Schmidt, 2011), elders (Chao, 2012;Fauth, Gerstorf, Ram, & Malmberg, 2012), and post-disaster survivors (Kaniasty, 2012), to name a few.…”
