“…In contrast, results showed that there is almost a threefold increase in the hazard of being non‐adherent with high received instrumental support , a finding contradictory with previous studies. Literature have shown the protective effect of positive received instrumental support on the treatment management of different health conditions such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus (Gasiorowski & Rudowicz, ; Marquez et al, ). However, current findings may be attributed to the reliance of patients to their nurses.…”

Objective:To determine the influence of community health nurses' social support on non-adherence with the maintenance phase of directly observed therapy (DOTS) among patients with tuberculosis (TB).Design: Prospective-cohort. Sample:One hundred purposively selected patients with TB starting with DOTS maintenance phase. Measurements:Participants answered the robotfoto and Berlin Social Support Scale (BSSS) to assess demographics and social support provided by nurses. Non-adherence was measured using the attendance record and documented in an abstraction form.Cox proportion-hazards regression determined the influence of social support provided by nurses to non-adherence. Results:With a median adherence of 3 weeks, 15% of the sample was non-adherent. The hazard of non-adherence was lower with high perceived emotional support (HR = 0.25, p = .046), perceived instrumental support (HR = 0.20, p = .044), perceived support seeking (HR = 0.27, p = .045), and received emotional support (HR = 0.45, p = .045).High received emotional support increased non-adherence (HR = 2.65, p = .039). Conclusion: Social support from nurses influenced DOTS non-adherence among patients with TB, a critical issue in the development of drug-resistance. Perceived emotional, instrumental, support seeking and received emotional support decreased the hazard of non-adherence, while received emotional support increased non-adherence. This study highlights the need to promote positive perception of instrumental support needs. Appropriate interventions should be provided to promote supportseeking skills.

Background Previous studies indicated that poor quantity and quality of instrumental support are one of the main barriers in the application of transitional care. Instrumental support, as one common function of social support, is the provision of financial assistance, material goods, or services. The purpose of our study is to develop an Instrumental Support in Transitional Care Questionnaire (ISTCQ) and use this questionnaire to make an assessment among older adults with chronic diseases. Methods The draft questionnaire was examined by 18 experts from different professional fields performing three rounds of content validity testing with the Delphi method. Afterward, we conducted a pilot test recruiting 174 participants as a convenience sample in Nantong, China. The construct validity was confirmed via exploratory factor analysis and reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Results The authority coefficient of experts was 0.74–0.99 and Kendall harmony coefficient W was 0.381. The exploratory factor analysis indicated that the questionnaire can be interpreted by three factors: namely, anticipated support (items 1, 2, 3, 4), received support (items 5, 6, 7, 8) and support satisfaction (items 9, 10, 11, 12). These three factors (eigenvalues > 1 and factor loading > 0.4) explained 69.128% of the total variance. Furthermore, the calculation of Cronbach's alpha and test–retest reliability have shown good reliability among each dimension of the 12-item questionnaire (Cronbach's alpha 0.711–0.827, test–retest reliability 0.704–0.818). Conclusion Results from the pilot test demonstrated excellent reliability and validity of ISTCQ through each dimension and as an entire.
