Preprint

This study analyzed the mediating effects of shoulder pain, shoulder disability, and depression on the relationship between stress and health-related quality of life among middle-aged women using a serial mediation model. Data on stress, health-related quality of life, shoulder pain, shoulder disability, and depression were collected from women aged 35–64 years living in Seoul, South Korea, from May 13 to 23, 2021, using a self-reported, structured survey. SPSS PROCESS macro (Model 6) and serial mediation analysis were then used to analyze the relationship between stress and health-related quality of life among participants, with shoulder pain, shoulder disability, and depression as mediators. The results indicate that stress had a statistically direct impact on health-related quality of life. In the serial mediation analysis, shoulder pain, shoulder disability, and depression were found to be statistically significant, thus affecting the relationship between stress and health-related quality of life, with an explanatory power of 33%. Therefore, the relationship between stress and health-related quality of life was partially mediated by these variables. Thus, this study suggests the need for healthcare workers to develop methods, such as exercise intervention programs based on various degrees and types of physical activity, to improve health-related quality of life and reduce stress caused by shoulder pain, shoulder disability, and depression among middle-aged women.

Shoulder Pain, Shoulder Disability, and Depression as Serial Mediators Between Stress and Health-related Quality of Life Among Middle-aged Women

2022

Preprint

“…This study showed that stress has direct and indirect effects on HRQoL, mediated by shoulder pain, disability, and depression. These results are consistent with those of previous studies [ 65 , 68 ], indicating that the higher the depression, the lower the HRQoL, and the higher the pain, the higher the depression and lower the HRQoL [ 69 ]. The results of this study suggest that stress directly affects HRQoL and causes shoulder pain, shoulder disability, and depression, all of which have direct and indirect effects on HRQoL.…”

Background This study analyzed the mediating effects of shoulder pain, disability, and depression on the relationship between stress and health-related quality of life among middle-aged women using a serial mediation model. Methods. Data on stress, health-related quality of life, shoulder pain, shoulder disability, and depression were collected from 565 women aged 35–64 years living in Seoul, South Korea, from May 13 to 23, 2021, using a self-reported, structured survey. SPSS PROCESS macro (Model 6) and serial mediation analysis were used to analyze the relationship between stress and health-related quality of life among participants, with shoulder pain, shoulder disability, and depression as mediators. Results. The results indicate that stress had a statistically direct impact on health-related quality of life. In the serial mediation analysis, shoulder pain, disability, and depression were found to be statistically significant, thus affecting the relationship between stress and health-related quality of life, with an explanatory power of 33%. Therefore, the relationship between stress and health-related quality of life was partially mediated by these variables. Conclusions. Thus, this study suggests the need for healthcare workers to develop methods, such as exercise intervention programs based on various degrees and types of physical activity, to improve health-related quality of life and reduce stress caused by shoulder pain, shoulder disability, and depression among middle-aged women.

“…In this study, it was shown that stress has a direct as well as indirect effect on the health-related quality of life through shoulder pain, shoulder disorder, and depression. The results are consistent with previous studies [47,43], showing that the higher the depression level, the lower the health-related quality of life and the higher the pain, the higher the depression level and the lower the health-related quality of life [48].…”

The Relationship between Stress and Health-related Quality of Life is Mediated by Shoulder Pain, Shoulder Disorder, and Depression

2021

Preprint

The purpose of this study is to analyze the mediating effect of shoulder pain, shoulder disorder, and depression in the relationship between stress and health-related quality of life in middle-aged women using a serial mediation model. For this study, data was collected from middle-aged women aged between 35 and 64 living in Seoul, South Korea, from May 13, 2021 to May 23, 2021. Data regarding stress, health-related quality of life, shoulder pain, shoulder disorder, and depression were collected using a self-reported, structured survey. SPSS macro process (Model 6) was used, and the relationship between stress and health-related quality of life of participants were analyzed using serial mediation analysis using shoulder pain, shoulder disorder, and depression as variables. From the results of the study, it was observed that stress has a statistically direct impact on health-related quality of life. On performing serial mediation analysis, shoulder pain, shoulder disorder, and depression were found to be statistically significant, which predicts the relationship between stress and health-related quality of life; the variables showed an explanatory power of 33% for influencing the quality of life. Therefore, the relationship between stress and health-related quality of life was found to be partially mediated by shoulder pain, shoulder disorder, and depression. This study suggests the need for healthcare workers to develop a method, such as exercise intervention programs based on various degrees and types of physical activity, for improving the health-related quality of life and reducing stress caused by shoulder pain, shoulder disorder, and depression in middle-aged women.
