“…Similarly, according to the HAMD, 88 patients exhibited signs of depression, but only 17 were treated. This is consistent with other PD patient populations (24) in which the psychiatric symptoms are often regarded as secondary to the motor symptoms. The average age at PD onset in the 45 patients with anxiety and 88 patients with depression was 55.54±7.68 years, significantly younger than the overall mean PD age at onset (65.16±9.60 years).…”

OBJECTIVE:We examined the demographic and clinical profiles of Parkinson's disease in Shanghai, China, to assist in disease management and provide comparative data on Parkinson's disease prevalence, phenotype, and progression among different regions and ethnic groups.METHODS:A door-to-door survey and follow-up clinical examinations identified 180 community-dwelling Han-Chinese Parkinson's disease patients (104 males, 76 females).RESULTS:The average age at onset was 65.16±9.60 years. The most common initial symptom was tremor (112 patients, 62.22%), followed by rigidity (38, 21.11%), bradykinesia (28, 15.56%) and tremor plus rigidity (2, 1.11%). Tremor as the initial symptom usually began in a single limb (83.04% of patients). The average duration from onset to mild Parkinson's disease (Hoehn-Yahr phase 1–2) was 52.74±45.64 months. Progression from mild to moderate/severe Parkinson's disease (phase≥3) was significantly slower (87.07±58.72 months; p<0.001), except for patients presenting initially with bradykinesia (53.83±24.49 months). Most patients (149/180, 82.78%) took levodopa with or without other drugs. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale revealed symptoms of clinical anxiety in 35 patients, and the Hamilton Depression Scale revealed depressive symptoms in 88 patients. The depressed or anxious subgroup (123 patients) demonstrated a significantly younger age at onset (55.54±7.68 years) compared with the overall mean (p<0.05).CONCLUSION:Unilateral limb tremor was the most common initial symptom, and motor function deteriorated slowly over ≈4−9 years. Earlier-onset patients experience greater psychiatric dysfunction.

“…We measured SS with the 10-item Chinese Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS; Xiao, 1999), which has been widely used in China (Cheng et al, 2008). The SSRS measures three types of SS: subjective social support (SSS, three items, Cronbach's = .75); objective social support (OSS, three items, Cronbach's = .70); and availability of social support (ASS, three items, Cronbach's = .69), with a total social support score (TSS) for the three types summed (TSS, Cronbach's = .81).…”

A growing body of empirical evidence has shown that although social support (SS) can predict subjective well-being (SWB), the relationship between SS and SWB is still unclear. In this study we investigated the role that positive psychological capital (PPC) plays in the relationship between SS and SWB. The results showed that PPC, SS, and SWB were positively related. The more important result, however, was that PPC mediated the relationship between SS and SWB. The findings are discussed in the context of the importance of PPC for SWB. Limitations in this study and implications for future research are identified.

“…Caregiving burden, unemployment, financial concerns and being the spouse of the patient were significant predictors of depression. The level of depression is often related to providing direct care, performing complex medical/nursing procedures, coping with disruptions in daily routines and negotiating the need to provide emotional support to the patient and to other family members . Caregiving stress and lack of social support were significant predictors of depressive symptoms among family caregivers of colorectal cancer patients during the first year of diagnosis …”

The aim of this study is to examine the burden of family caregivers of patients with retinoblastoma in China and the relationships between depression, caregiver burden and social support. A descriptive and correlational survey was conducted with 117 Chinese family caregivers of outpatient patients with retinoblastoma from the Department of Ophthalmology of a tertiary hospital in Shanghai, China. Family caregivers of outpatient patients with retinoblastoma were asked to respond to four questionnaires including sociodemographic questionnaire, Becker Depression Inventory, Caregiver Burden Inventory and Social Support Rating Scale. The incidence of depression in this study was 51.3%; the average score for social support indicated moderate social support available to the caregivers, although their level of caregiver burden was heavy. Depression scores were significantly positively correlated with caregiver burden scores and significantly negatively correlated with the social support scores. Heavy caregiver burden was associated with lower monthly income, low subjective social support and less use of social support.
