Abstract:
Objective:To explore the chain mediating role of perceived social support and coping modes between perceived risk of recurrence and depression in elderly patients with first-episode ischemic stroke.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 310 elderly patients with first-episode ischemic stroke in the Department of Neurology of Jiangsu Wutaishan Hospital and Northern Jiangsu People 's Hospital from December 2022 to February 2024 for the study. General Information Questionnaire, Recurrence Risk Perception Scale for Patients with Stroke, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, and Patient Health Questionnaire were used to investigate the patients and to construct and validate the chain mediating model. Results:A total of 310 questionnaires were distributed and 306 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 98.7%. The total scores of perceived risk of recurrence, perceived social support, medical coping modes, and depression in elderly patients with first-episode ischemic stroke were 35.00 (29.00, 39.00), 59.00 (51.00, 67.00), 43.00 (39.00, 47.00), and 3.50 (2.00, 7.00), respectively. Perceived risk of recurrence was positively correlated with perceived social support and confrontation coping mode ( r=0.418, 0.463; P<0.001), and negatively correlated with depression ( r=-0.450, P<0.001). Perceived social support was positively correlated with confrontation coping mode ( r=0.416, P<0.001), and negatively correlated with depression ( r=-0.408, P<0.001). Confrontation coping mode was negatively correlated with depression ( r=-0.472, P<0.001). The mediating test showed that perceived risk of recurrence negatively predicted depression, with a direct effect of -0.245, accounting for 48.70% of the total effect. The mediating effect of perceived social support on perceived risk of recurrence and depression was significant, with an indirect effect of -0.146, accounting for 29.03% of the total effect. The mediating effect of confrontation coping mode on perceived risk of recurrence and depression was significant, with an indirect effect of -0.085, accounting for 16.90% of the total effect. In addition, perceived social support and confrontation coping modes had a significant chain mediating effect in perceived risk of recurrence and depression, with an indirect effect of -0.027, accounting for 5.37% of the total effect. Conclusions:Perceived social support and confrontation coping mode have chain mediating effects between perceived risk of recurrence and depression. Healthcare professionals can reduce the incidence of depression by increasing the patient 's perceived risk of recurrence, giving a great deal of social support, and enhancing positive modes of coping with the disease.
