Abstract:
Objective To study family typology of stroke survivors′spouse and its relationship with perceived social support and offer a basic reference for family intervention. Methods A total of 327 qualified spouses of stroke survivors were investigated in the Family Cohesion and Adaptability Questionnaire (FACESII-CV) and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) for their family typology proportion and relationship with PSSS. Results Compared with normal group, the ratios of extremity type family and middle family type were increased in this study: 23.9%(78/327)vs. 16.4%(20/122), 45.0%(147/327) vs. 29.5%(36/122), while the equilibrium family type were decreased:31.1% (102/327) vs. 54.1%(66/122), and there were significant differences (χ2=23.089, P<0.01). PSSS scores of spouses were (61.99±11.90) points, which included family support (21.71±4.27) points and social support (40.28±8.31) points. The scores were all in high level. Inter-comparison of three types of family showed the scores of PSSS were higher in extremity type families than those in middle and equilibrium type families: (68.27±11.27) points vs. (61.04±12.18), (59.56±10.34) points, and there were significant differences (F=5.636, P=0.005), but no significant difference between the last two (P > 0.05). Family typology was the most important factor to PSSS (β=0.212, P<0.05) in spouses of stroke survivors, followed by education degree of spouses (β=-0.190, P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the patients' spouses the baseline indicators in three types of families (P> 0.05). Conclusions Among the spouses of stroke survivors, the ratios of extremity and middle family type are increased but equilibrium family type are decreased. Family typology is the most important factor to PSSS of survivors′spouse. The PSSS of survivors′spouse in extremity type families is higher than that in middle and equilibrium type families. Intervention should be offered to the families, guiding the conversion of family typology from other types to extremity.
