Social Support and Coronary Heart Disease: Epidemiologic Evidence and Implications for Treatment

Abstract: Although low levels of support are associated with increased risk for CHD events, it is not clear what types of support are most associated with clinical outcomes in healthy persons and CHD patients. The development of a consensus in the conceptualization and measurement of social support is needed to examine which types of support are most likely to be associated with adverse CHD outcomes. There also is little evidence that improving low social support reduces CHD events.

“…[23][24][25] More generally, patients with an active and involved informal caregiver often have better self-management practices and health outcomes than patients who manage their chronic disease in isolation. [26][27][28][29] An observational study including Spanish-speaking patients from three countries suggests that caregiver feedback may increase patients' likelihood of completing IVR calls in LMICs. 18 …”

“…Malgré l'importance de ces découvertes en matière de soutien de la part des médecins, plusieurs études (Beckman & Frankel, 1984;Kaplan, Greenfield, & Ware, 1989;Marvel, Epstein, Flowers, & Beckman, 1999) De plus, les relations sociales peuvent encourager ou au contraire décourager une variété de comportements, lesquels affectent directement la santé (Campbell, 2003;Heitman, 2004;Ziegelstein, 2003 (Lett et al, 2005). Selon ces auteurs, le manque de consensus conceptuel constaté entre les études dans la définition du support social ne permet toutefois pas de préciser davantage les éléments responsables de ce risque.…”
