Title: ARHP II: Lupus

Session Type: ARHP Concurrent Abstract Session

Session Time: 2:30PM-4:00PM

Background/Purpose: The purpose
of this study was to assess the influence of socioeconomic status (SES) and measures
of reserve capacity on depression and anxiety in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We examined whether reserve
capacity/psychosocial variables explained the relationship between SES and
levels of depression/anxiety in two separate meditation models. Methods: One
hundred twenty-eight patients from Southern California with SLE completed self-report
measures of demographic factors, disease activity (SLE Disease Activity Index),
depression/anxiety (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Score), self-esteem
(Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale), social support (Social Provisions Scale), life
orientation and optimism (Life Orientation Test – Revised), personal
mastery (Personal Mastery Scale), and helplessness (Arthritis Helplessness
Index). Two multiple meditational analyses were conducted utilizing an SPSS
macro called “Indirect” (Preacher & Hayes, 2008), a program known to reduce
complications with Type I Error and statistical power in multiple mediation
models. Results: Results of confirmatory factors analyses revealed that social
support variables made up an “interpersonal” latent factor; personal mastery,
self-esteem, helplessness, and optimism variables made up an “intrapersonal”
latent factors; and income, education, and perceived income made up an “SES”
latent factor. Multiple mediation results revealed that, after controlling for
disease activity and disease duration, features of reserve capacity including
self-esteem, personal mastery, helplessness, optimism, and life orientation fully
mediated the relationship between SES and depression/anxiety. After controlling
for disease activity and disease duration, SES increased by one point and symptoms
of depression decreased by .281 and .592 points through the mediating effects
of interpersonal and intrapersonal reserve capacity, respectively. Additionally,
as SES increased by one point, symptoms of anxiety decreased by .281 and .574
points through the mediating effects of interpersonal and intrapersonal reserve
capacity, respectively. Conclusion: Results indicate that lower SES is
indirectly associated with higher levels of depression and anxiety through the
effects of lower psychosocial resilience resources. Providing interventions
aimed at modifying reserve capacity variables, such as self-esteem, optimism,
and sense of control may ultimately improve anxiety and depressive
symptomatology in patients with SLE.

All abstracts accepted to ACR Convergence are under media embargo once the ACR has notified presenters of their abstract’s acceptance. They may be presented at other meetings or published as manuscripts after this time but should not be discussed in non-scholarly venues or outlets. The following embargo policies are strictly enforced by the ACR.

Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in advance of the meeting and are published in a special online supplement of our scientific journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology. Information contained in those abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online. In an exception to the media embargo, academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an ACR abstract on the ACR website. However, the ACR continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained in the abstract (e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of editorial news coverage) is under media embargo until 10:00 AM ET on November 14, 2024. Journalists with access to embargoed information cannot release articles or editorial news coverage before this time. Editorial news coverage is considered original articles/videos developed by employed journalists to report facts, commentary, and subject matter expert quotes in a narrative form using a variety of sources (e.g., research, announcements, press releases, events, etc.).

Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Authors are responsible for notifying colleagues, institutions, communications firms, and all other stakeholders related to the development or promotion of the abstract about this policy. If you have questions about the ACR abstract embargo policy, please contact ACR abstracts staff at [email protected].
