Mediation role of perceived social support between recurrence risk perception and health behaviour among patients with stroke in China: a cross-sectional study. BMJ Open 2024; 14:e079812. [PMID: 38355172 PMCID: PMC10868314 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-079812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine whether patients who had a stroke with high recurrence risk perception would have healthier behaviour and to explore whether perceived social support would function as a mediator. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING The study was conducted in a public tertiary hospital in China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 254 patients with stroke were invited to participate, and 250 patients with stroke completed questionnaires validly. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Questionnaires were administered offline to collect data, consisting of four parts: general demographics and scales related to recurrence risk perception, perceived social support, and health behaviour. A path analysis and correlation analysis were used to analyse the data. RESULTS Out of 250 patients with stroke, 78.4% had moderately low health behaviour. The majority (70.8%) of these patients were elderly. High recurrence risk perception and high perceived social support were significantly associated with better health behaviour (all p<0.001). Perceived social support mediated the relationship between recurrence risk perception and health behaviour after controlling for age, gender, education and monthly income in the regression model (95% CI 0.263 to 0.460) and the effect value was 0.360. It was also confirmed that perceived social support had the highest mediation effect with a proportion of mediation up to 59.31%. CONCLUSIONS Recurrence risk perception and perceived social support were influential factors in promoting health behaviour. Moreover, the impact of recurrence risk perception on health behaviour was partially mediated by perceived social support. Therefore, to enhance the sustainability of health behaviour, it is crucial to inform patients with stroke about the risk of recurrence. Patients with more perception of recurrence risk can improve their recovery confidence and thus perceive more social support.

Wu Y, Yan Z, Fornah L, Zhao J, Wu S. The mediation effect of social support between stigma and social alienation in patients with stroke. Front Public Health 2023; 11:1290177. [PMID: 38094234 PMCID: PMC10716442 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1290177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Social alienation is prevalent and causes adverse outcomes in stroke. Previous studies have linked stigma with social alienation. However, little is known about the mechanisms behind this relationship. This study explored the mediation effects of social support between stigma and social alienation. Methods A cross-sectional design was used to study 248 patients with stroke admitted to a tertiary rehabilitation hospital in Beijing, China, from December 2022 to July 2023. Patients were assessed using a general information questionnaire, the Stroke Stigma Scale, the Social Support Rating Scale, and the Generalized Social Alienation Scale. The PROCESS macro in SPSS was used to examine the mediation model. Results The results showed that stigma has a negative effect on social support (β = -0.503, p<0.001); stigma has a positive effect on social alienation (β = 0.768, p<0.001). Social support mediated the relationship between stigma and social alienation, with a mediation effect of 0.131 (95%CI: 0.060, 0.214), and indirect effects accounted for 17.06% of the total effect. Conclusion Social support mediated the relationship between stigma and social alienation. These findings suggest that intervention targeting the enhancement of social support may prevent or reduce social alienation among patients with stroke.

[PMID: 37932995 PMCID: PMC10627652 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000035872] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Kinesiophobia is an excessive, irrational, debilitating fear of physical movement and activity caused by a sense of vulnerability to pain or re-injury, which can have a direct impact on physical functioning and mental well-being of patients. This paper aims to provide reliable support for future in-depth research on kinesiophobia through scientometrics and historical review. Studies on kinesiophobia published from 2002 to 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to conduct bibliometric analysis of the included studies and map knowledge domains. Keywords were manually clustered, and the results were analyzed and summarized in combination with a literature review. A total of 4157 original research articles and reviews were included. Research on kinesiophobia is developing steadily and has received more attention from scholars in recent years. There are regional differences in the distribution of research. Chronic pain is the focus of research in this field. A multidisciplinary model of pain neuroscience education combined with physical therapy based on cognitive-behavioral therapy and the introduction and development of virtual reality may be the frontier of research. There is a large space for the study of kinesiophobia. In the future, to improve regional academic exchanges and cooperation, more attention should be given to the clinical applicability and translation of scientific work, which will be conducive to improving the quality of life and physical and mental health outcomes of kinesiophobia patients.

Shao S, Mitsutake T, Maruyama H. Effects of Diamond Steps Exercises on Balance Improvement in Healthy Young and Older Adults: A Protocol Proposal. Healthcare (Basel) 2023; 11:1834. [PMID: 37444668 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare11131834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2023] [Revised: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Diamond step (DS) exercises are associated with multiple components of postural control and, thus, have the potential to efficiently improve balance ability. This study aimed to verify whether DS exercises contribute to improving balance ability. This study included 35 healthy young people and 29 older adults. DS exercises were performed continuously for 3 min, four times a week, for 1 month. Balance ability was assessed at baseline and after 1 and 2 months; eight items in total were examined: 30 s chair stand test, functional reach test, standing on one leg with eyes closed, time required for five rounds of DS, left-right DS, Y balance test, open-close stepping test, and finger-to-floor distance. The difficulty, achievement, and lightness/enjoyment of DS exercises were measured after the first practice and 1 month after beginning the exercises as subjective evaluations. Older adults showed improvement in seven of the eight items, with the exception being the one-legged stance with closed eyes. The subjective evaluation showed a decrease in the level of difficulty of DS exercises for older adults. DS exercises may improve balance by effectively utilizing various postural control strategies. These exercises can be effective and easy to implement, given their moderate difficulty level and self-efficacy.
