The probability of usage of more extensive counselling is significantly greater when the patient is the spouse (Factor 2) or when the subjective and objective burden of care is elevated (Factor 1).
Items were from the PHQ and included being bothered by difficulties with a spouse or partner (factor loading of 0.58), stress of taking care of family members (0.52), having no one to turn to (0.46), little or no sexual desire or pleasure (0.44), and financial problems or worries (0.43).
For example, self-reliance in making treatment choices and the acceptability of separation or divorce from their spouse were factors that varied between cultures [ 39].
Other spouse-related factors in the multivariate model included not discussing pregnancy with the spouse and, independently, IPV in the last year.
Other spouse-related factors in the multivariate model included not discussing pregnancy primarily with the spouse and, independently, IPV in the last year.
Despite this reporting difference, spouse-related factors (IPV in the last year, IPV in pregnancy, did not discuss pregnancy primarily with husband) were prominent in both states.
Some spouse-related factors not specific to the pregnancy (IPV in the last year) might be causally related to maternal outcomes or they might result from the maternal outcome or something else shared with the maternal outcome that we neglected to study.
Results: Higher age, personal history of depression, death of spouse, health related factors and comorbid organic or anxiety syndrome showed significant bivariate associations with depression incidence.
To sum up, social conditions such as living together with a spouse are protective factors regarding (post-stroke) care dependency risk.
The factors "spouse" (p =.001) and "degree of care" (p =.005) were identified as significant predictors for acceptance of extensive counselling.
