Background: To assess factorial and construct validity along with reliability of the Russian version of
the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) in cardiac patients.
Methods: The study included 1018 patients with coronary artery disease. All patients were offered
the opportunity to complete a questionnaire to detect psychosocial risk and protective factors,
including the MSPSS.
Results: Internal consistency of the Russian version of the MSPSS was high: Cronbach’s alpha
coefficient in the group of patients with stable angina was .91 vs. .90 in the group with acute
coronary syndrome. The three-factor structure of the MSPSS was proved with exploratory and
confirmatory factor analyses.
As expected, the Russian version of the MSPSS was negatively
correlated with measures of anxiety and depression, and positively correlated with curiosity.
Conclusions: The Russian version of MSPSS corresponds closely with the English version in
reliability, consistency, and internal structure.
Test–retest reliability was satisfactorally high and
construct validity was supported with the results of the correlation analysis.
Clinical Implications: Our study confirms that MSPSS questionnaire is a high valid tool to
estimate social support and it can be successfully applied to define social support in patients
with cardiac pathology.
ЦЕЛИ: Предварительный анализ выявил степень, в которой алирокумаб уменьшал общие (первые и последующие) нефатальные сердечно-сосудистые события и смертность от всех причин в исходах ODYSSEY.
Цель: После острого коронарного синдрома диабет увеличивает риск развития ишемических сердечно-сосудистых событий.
BACKGROUND:After ACS, alirocumab added to intensive stain therapy favourably impacted on Type l and 2 MIs.
