Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of the study was to examine the association between socio-demographic and clinical characteristics and perceived social support among patients with a diagnosis of depression and/or anxiety and co-morbid medical conditions from rural south India.

Methods

The study was conducted in 49 PHCs in Ramanagara district, Karnataka, and included 2481 participants, who were 30 years or older with co-morbid CMD (Common Mental Disorder) and hypertension, diabetes or ischemic heart disease. Socio-demographic characteristics of the participants were collected, and instrumental, emotional and total social support, quality of life, severity of disability, depression and anxiety were measured via face-to-face interviews using structured questionnaires.

Results

The sample predominantly consisted of Hindu (98.5%) females (75%) in their middle to late adulthood. In multivariate models, age showed a significant curvilinear relation with all forms of social support (B = 0.001 and p < 0.05), and emotional social support (B = − 0.056, p = 0.004) was lower in employed than non-working participants. Household size was positively related to all forms of social support (B = 0.029 for instrumental, B = 0.022 for emotional, B = 0.025 for total social support, all p < 0.001). Quality of life was positively associated with all forms of social support (B = 0.019 for instrumental, B = 0.016 for emotional, B = 0.018 for total social support, all p < 0.001).

Conclusions

For this sample of outpatients diagnosed with both CMD and at least one comorbid medical condition in rural south India, greater household size was associated with better social support. The role of family in providing support can be utilized while designing interventions.
