Abstract

Introduction: Social capital, as one of the determinants of health, has a significant role on mental health of people especially chronic patients. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between mental health and social capital in HIV patients in North of Iran. Material and methods: In this cross-sectional study, 49 persons with HIV referred to the consultation center of welfare organization in 2017 were included. Social capital of participants was measured by Bullen's social capital scale. Mental health questionnaire (GHQ-28) was used to determine the condition of mental health. Data were analyzed with SPSS 21 software. Pearson’s correlation and regression analysis were applied to investigate the relation between variables. Results: The mean score was 59.2 ± 13.3 for social capital and 31.4 ± 12.2 for mental health. There was a significant relationship between the total score of social capital with better economic condition (p = 0.01, r = 0.33), lower duration of illness (p = 0.001, r = 0.47), and having insurance (p = 0.007, r = 0.38). The correlation between variables showed a negative and significant relationship between dimensions of feeling of trust and safety (r = –0.45, p = 0.002), activity in a social context (r = –0.41, p = 0.004), and value of life (r = –0.81, p = 0.001) with mental health. Conclusions: According to the study results, with increasing attention to health determinants and social capital as one of the international principles of health, mental health of people with AIDS should be promoted.

伊朗北部艾滋病毒感染者社会资本与心理健康的关系
引言:社会资本作为健康的决定因素之一,对人们尤其是慢性病患者的心理健康有着重要的影响。本研究旨在探讨伊朗北部HIV患者心理健康与社会资本的关系。材料与方法:本横断面研究纳入2017年到福利机构咨询中心就诊的49名HIV感染者。采用Bullen社会资本量表测量被试的社会资本。采用心理健康问卷(GHQ-28)调查心理健康状况。采用SPSS 21软件对数据进行分析。采用Pearson相关分析和回归分析探讨变量间的关系。结果:社会资本得分为59.2±13.3分,心理健康得分为31.4±12.2分。社会资本总分与经济状况较好的大学生(p = 0.01, r = 0.33)、病程较短的大学生(p = 0.001, r = 0.47)、有保险的大学生(p = 0.007, r = 0.38)存在显著相关。变量间的相关关系显示,信任和安全感(r = -0.45, p = 0.002)、社会活动(r = -0.41, p = 0.004)和生命价值(r = -0.81, p = 0.001)维度与心理健康呈显著负相关。结论:根据研究结果,随着健康决定因素的日益重视和社会资本作为国际健康原则之一,应促进艾滋病患者的心理健康。HIV / AIDS Rev 2021;DOI: https://doi.org/10.5114/hivar.2021.105110
