Psychosocial Effects of Physical and Verbal Abuse in Postmenopausal Women

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the psychological effects of physical and verbal abuse in a cohort of older women.METHODS This observational cohort study was conducted at 40 clinical sites nationwide that are part of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) Observational Study. We surveyed 93,676 women aged 50 to 79 years using the mental health subscales and the combined mental component summary (MCS) score of the RAND Medical Outcomes Study 36-item instrument.RESULTS At baseline, women reporting exposure to physical abuse only, verbal abuse only, or both physical and verbal abuse had a greater number of depressive symptoms (1.6,1.6, and 3 more symptoms, respectively) and lower MCS scores (4.6, 5.4, and 8.1 lower scores, respectively) than women not reporting abuse. Compared with women who had no exposure to abuse, women had a greater increase in the number of depressive symptoms when they reported a 3-year incident exposure to physical abuse only (0.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], −0.21 to 0.60), verbal abuse only (0.18; 95% CI, 0.11 to 0.24), or both physical and verbal abuse (0.15; 95% CI, −0.05 to 0.36); and they had a decrease in MCS scores when they reported a 3-year incident exposure to physical abuse only (−1.12; 95% CI, −2.45 to 0.12), verbal abuse only (−0.55; 95% CI, −0.75 to −0.34), and both physical and verbal abuse (−0.44; 95% CI, −1.11 to −0.22) even after adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics.CONCLUSION Exposure to abuse in older, functionally independent women is associated with poorer mental health. The persistence of these findings suggests that clinicians need to consider abuse exposure in their older female patients who have depressive symptoms. Clinicians caring for older women should identify women at risk for physical and verbal abuse and intervene appropriately.

Three Year Health Outcomes Among Older Women at Risk of Elder Abuse: Women's Health Australia

BACKGROUND: Older women are at increasing risk of various forms of familial violence, yet detection is poor and very little is known of the long-term health effects of this psychosocial problem. The effectiveness of the 'Vulnerability to Abuse' Screening Scale (VASS) in predicting three year health outcomes was investigated among women enrolled in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health, now known as Women's Health Australia. METHODS: The sample comprised a cohort of 10,421 women aged 73-78 who completed the 1996 and 1999 postal surveys (attrition rate 19.5%). The Time 2 sample had a small bias towards lower risk for elder abuse at Time 1 and better health on SF-36 and self-rated health. The VASS is a 12-item self-report measure with 4 factors: vulnerability, coercion, dependence and dejection. RESULTS: Overall, physical health (PCS) declined while mental health (MCS) increased over the three year period. Decline in physical health was predicted by only the dejection factor, but not by factors which seem to more directly measure abuse. The predictive validity of the VASS for three year mental health outcomes was given partial support. Three of the four VASS factors (dejection, vulnerability, and coercion) predicted decline in mental health at the univariate level, however, after adjusting for confounders, only one VASS factor (dejection) independently predicted decline in mental health. CONCLUSIONS: While the VASS shows some promise as a marker of health risk in older women, only the dejection factor proved consistently predictive of declining health status. Further research is needed to determine longer term predictive validity of the scale and to gain a clearer picture of how abusive experiences impact on older women's health.     

老年高血压患者血压昼夜节律对左室肥厚的影响

【摘要】 目的 研究老年高血压患者的血压昼夜节律变化对左室肥厚的影响。方法 选取我院126例高血压患者,根据心脏彩超提示左室肥厚情况分为肥厚组（n=52例）和非肥厚组（n=74例）。比较两组动态血压指标及血压变异性,进行多因素分析探讨血压变异性对左室肥厚的影响。 结果 高血压肥厚组24h平均收缩压（24hSBP）、白天平均收缩压（dSBP）、夜间平均收缩压（nSBP）、24h收缩压标准差（24hSSD）、24h舒张压标准差（24hDSD）、白天收缩压标准差（dSSD）、夜间收缩压标准差（nSSD）均高于非肥厚组,差异有统计学意义（P＜005）。Logistic回归分析显示,24h SBP 与dSSD、nSSD为左室肥厚的独立危险因素（P＜005）。结论 老年高血压患者的24h SBP 与dSSD、nSSD是影响左室肥厚的独立危险因素,平稳控制血压对防止左室肥厚的发生有一定影响。     

老年2型糖尿病患者自我管理行为与睡眠质量现状及相关性研究

【摘要】 目的 调查老年2型糖尿病患者自我管理行为与睡眠质量现状及相关性。方法 选取2017年6月~10月成都市某三级甲等医院200例门诊老年2型糖尿病患者为调查对象,采用基本资料问卷、2型糖尿病自我管理行为量表、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数量表（PSQI）分别进行调查,并对结果进行分析。结果 老年2型糖尿病患者自我管理标准得分为（6018±1456）分,睡眠质量指数量表总分＞7分者124例（62%）。相关性分析显示,睡眠质量与自我管理水平呈正相关（P＜005）。结论 老年2型糖尿病患者睡眠质量指数得分越高,睡眠质量越差,自我管理行为越差。医务人员应针对老年2型糖尿病患者自我管理薄弱环节进行个体化健康教育时应注重其睡眠状态的评估,改善其睡眠质量,进而提高其自我管理行为。
