Abstract: (11 Views)
Introduction: Older adult individuals experience stress, anxiety, and depression due to physiological and social changes. One of the key factors in alleviating these issues is social support. This study was designed to examine the relationship between social support and levels of stress, anxiety, and depression in older adult individuals before coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at the Shahid Rajaee Cardiovascular Educational, Research, and Treatment Institute in Tehran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 120 older adults hospitalized in Tehran, selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected via demographic questionnaires, the Phillips Social Support Questionnaire, and the DASS-21 scale through interviews. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS and AMOS software.
Results: More than half of the participants (65.8%) were male, and the majority (82.5%) were married. The mean social support score was 45.49±15.48. The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between social support and depression (r=0.30), anxiety (r=0.81), and stress (r=0.76). The results of the structural equation model indicated that stress and anxiety are directly associated with social support. Additionally, stress, apart from its direct impact through anxiety, also influences social support.
Conclusion: The findings of this study highlight the complex and multidimensional nature of the relationship between social support and depression, anxiety, and stress in cardiovascular patients. Further research is needed to explore these interactions in greater depth.
