Abstract

Evidence supports the contribution of depression, anxiety, and poor social support to mortality of hospitalized myocardial infarction (MI) patients. The contribution of depression to survival is independent of disease severity. Pet ownership, a non-human form of social support, has also been associated with one year survival of post-MI patients. The current study addresses whether pet ownership contributes independently to long term survival beyond the contributions of depression, anxiety, or low social support in post-MI patients who have already survived at least 6 months. Data from patients (N = 460) enrolled in the "Psychosocial Responses in the Home Automated External Defibrillator Trial (PR-HAT)"were used. Seventeen patients died during a median follow-up of 2.8 years. In Cox proportional hazards regression model that included depression, lack of pet ownership, and the interaction between depression and lack of pet ownership, not owning a pet was the only significant independent predictor of mortality (p = 0.036). The interaction between pet ownership and depression tended to be significant indicating that the effect of pet ownership on survival in this group of people who have supportive spouses/companions living with them may relate to depression.

宠物、抑郁与社区生活患者心肌梗死后的长期生存。
证据支持抑郁、焦虑和不良社会支持对住院心肌梗死(MI)患者死亡率的影响。抑郁症对生存的影响与疾病的严重程度无关。宠物是一种非人类形式的社会支持,也与心肌梗死后患者一年的生存率有关。目前的研究探讨了在已经存活至少6个月的心肌梗死后患者中,除了抑郁、焦虑或低社会支持的影响外,宠物是否对长期生存有独立的影响。数据来自460名参加“家庭自动体外除颤器试验(PR-HAT)中的社会心理反应”的患者。17名患者在平均2.8年的随访期间死亡。在包含抑郁、不养宠物以及抑郁与不养宠物之间的相互作用的Cox比例风险回归模型中,不养宠物是死亡率的唯一显著独立预测因子(p = 0.036)。养宠物和抑郁之间的相互作用往往是显著的,这表明养宠物对有配偶/伴侣与他们生活在一起的人的生存的影响可能与抑郁有关。

期刊介绍: A vital forum for academic dialogue on human-animal relations, Anthrozoös is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that has enjoyed a distinguished history as a pioneer in the field since its launch in 1987. The key premise of Anthrozoös is to address the characteristics and consequences of interactions and relationships between people and non-human animals across areas as varied as anthropology, ethology, medicine, psychology, veterinary medicine and zoology. Articles therefore cover the full range of human–animal relations, from their treatment in the arts and humanities, through to behavioral, biological, social and health sciences.
