“…Maintaining relationships despite a disabling condition implies that people maintain their social capital which gives them the opportunity to derive rewards that otherwise could not or only with more difficulty be achieved. Although neuroticism had an independent effect on mental health, network interventions aimed at the prevention of a reduction of people's social relations may contribute to people's mental health and quality of life (Suurmeijer et al, 2001;Fyrand et al, 2003;Ethgen et al, 2004). More generally, we would like to claim that a supportive environment including supportive behaviors and attitudes of health professionals as well are beneficial to the mental health of chronically ill people.…”

The relationships between two personality characteristics (neuroticism, extraversion), three types of supportive transactions (emotional support, social companionship, instrumental support) and satisfaction with these transactions, and two aspects of mental health (feelings of anxiety and depressive mood) were studied among 280 patients with early rheumatoid arthritis. Structural equation modeling of the relevant variables showed that people with a more neurotic personality profile showed more anxiety and depressed feelings. Extraversion had no direct effect on depression or anxiety. Companionship, both transactions and satisfaction, had an independent positive effect on depression but not on anxiety. The effect of emotional support ran via social companionship: more emotional support (both transactions and satisfaction) was expressed in companionship leading to a less depressed mood. Finally, more depressed people received more instrumental supportive transactions while more satisfaction with this type of supportive transactions was related to less anxiety. Apart from the disturbing effect of a neurotic personality profile on mental health, the results once more underscore the importance of social companionship as a multifunctional activity for people's mental health. Maintaining this type of relationships despite a disabling condition gives people the opportunity to derive rewards that otherwise could not or only with more difficulty be achieved.

“…The majority were women, corresponding to the sex distribution of cohorts from other studies (7,(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). The education level of our patients was, on average, higher than that of patients in other studies; the majority of the populations from those studies had completed up to primary school (14,15,17) or were illiterate (17,18).…”

“…The other four domains, vitality, social functioning, emotional role, and mental health, evaluate mental health. As there is no total score, each domain is analysed individually and is scored from 0 to 100, where a lower score correlates with a lower health status (7,11,12).…”

“…Patients also complain about functional impairment in everyday activities, such as walking, stair climbing, car driving, and household and garden working, and they report symptoms of anxiety and depression. These limitations in physical activity and pain are further accompanied with a deterioration in quality of life (4)(5)(6)(7). Hip OA has an unfavourable natural course as the intensity of symptoms and the degree of disability have a tendency to increase over time (8).…”

Objective To determine whether there are racial differences in social support among patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and whether the impact of social support on patient preferences for total knee replacement (TKR) varies by race and gender. Methods 514 white & 285 African-American (AA) patients with knee OA were surveyed. Logistic regression models were performed to determine if the relationship between willingness to undergo TKR and the interaction of patient race and sex were mediated by social support. Results Compared to whites with knee OA, AA patients were less likely to be married (p<0.001), reported less close friends/relatives (p<0.001) and had lower Medical Outcomes Study-Social Support Scale (MOS-SSS) scores (p<0.001). AA patients were also less willing to undergo TKR (62% vs. 80%, p<0.001) than whites. The odds of willingness to undergo TKR was less in white females compared to white males when adjusted for recruitment site, age, income and WOMAC (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.34–0.96). This difference was no longer significant when further adjusted for marital status, number of close friends/relatives and MOS-SSS score, but the effect size remained unchanged (OR 0.60, 95% CI 0.35–1.02). The odds of willingness to undergo TKR remained much less in AA females (OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.19–0.64) and AA males (OR 0.28, 95% CI 0.14–0.54) compared to white males when controlled for sociodemographic, clinical and social support measures. Conclusions AA patients reported less structural and functional social support than whites. Social support is an important determinant of preference for TKR surgery only among whites.

Social support and health-related quality of life in hip and knee osteoarthritis

Abstract: Social support components significantly account for HRQoL. Health interventions in OA, primary dedicated to pain and physical disability, could be supplemented with social support component to enhance health outcomes.
