“…Another study of 1284 community-dwelling older adults found that while emotional support from adult children was beneficial for the wellbeing of aging parents, receiving instrumental support was associated with poorer wellbeing (Zunzunegui et al, 2001). A study of older adults with coronary artery disease showed that reduced depressive symptomatology was related to greater perceived emotional, but not instrumental, support (Bosworth et al, 2000), a finding mirrored in other work (e.g., Lang & Schu¨tze, 2002). In total, such findings underscore the importance of distinguishing among multiple support components and outcomes to increase understanding of how support may affect adaptation in later life.…”

The current study examines the association between family support and wellbeing in the elderly, paying particular attention to the possible moderating role of attachment style. Data from a community-dwelling, ethnically diverse, elderly sample (N = 1118) were analyzed to determine the best linear combination of emotional support, instrumental support, and attachment styles predicting wellbeing. Emotional support generally was associated with higher wellbeing whereas instrumental support was related to decreased wellbeing. As expected, however, these associations were qualified by attachment style. Receiving emotional support had stronger positive and instrumental support less negative effects on the wellbeing of elderly individuals with higher attachment security. Given increased longevity, family networks may become important sources of support for the elderly. Work detailing when, how, and for whom particular types of family support are beneficial is a key agenda within developmental psychology and social gerontology.

“…Being in a supportive relationship is one explanation for why marital partners live longer and enjoy better health than do unmarried individuals (for reviews see Burman & Margolin, 1992;KiecoltGlaser & Newton, 2001). Social support, for example, is particularly important for people with coronary artery disease in terms of managing depression (Bosworth et al, 2000;Shen, McCreary, & Myers, 2003), promoting healthy life choices (Franks, Wendorf, Gonzalez, & Ketterer, 2004; see also Goldsmith, Lindholm, & Bute, 2006), and other health outcomes (for a review see Littik, Jaarsma, Moser, Sanderman, & van Veldhuisen, 2005). Thus, the finding of the present study that relational quality is a strong predictor (r = .64) of perceptions of partner support in disclosure contributes to the body of research on the role of support in managing health conditions.…”

This study is framed in Greene's (2009) health disclosure decision-making model (DD-MM) and explores the role of prognosis and symptom uncertainty in patterns of disclosure in a close relationship. Toward this end, an uncertainty and disclosure model is hypothesized in which prognosis and symptom uncertainty and relational quality are expected to predict perceived partner support, communication efficacy, and the depth, breadth, and frequency of disclosure to a partner about a chronic health condition. Patients with diagnosed heart-related conditions visiting a private medical office were recruited to complete anonymous surveys. Results indicated that (1) the key mechanisms identified in the DD-MM are associated with the depth, breadth, and frequency of disclosure to a partner about a health condition, and (2) uncertainty plays a prominent role in people's communication with their partner about the heart-related condition. The findings and implications of the study are discussed.

“…17 There is evidence that CABG patients with depressive symptoms more often reported poor perceived health, cardiac ischemic symptoms, and poor social support. 5,18,19 The instrumental social support provided by social networks can help in achieving lifestyle changes. 20 A cross-sectional analysis revealed that spouses' emotional support was positively associated with patients' lifestyle and predicted improved patients' mental health.…”
