Disability: Sociological Aspects
Association of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Depression With All-Cause and Cardiovascular Disease Mortality and Hospitalization Among Hurricane Katrina Survivors With End-Stage Renal Disease
Objectives. We determined the association of psychiatric symptoms in the year after Hurricane Katrina with subsequent hospitalization and mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Methods. A prospective cohort of ESRD patients (n = 391) treated at 9 hemodialysis centers in the New Orleans, Louisiana, area in the weeks before Hurricane Katrina were assessed for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression symptoms via telephone …
Linking Race and Well-being within a Biopsychosocial Framework: Variation in Subjective Sleep Quality in Two Racially Diverse Older Adult Samples
Differential life experiences associated with race may critically affect the balance between physical and psychological well-being. This study investigated an age-related and disease-related symptom, restless sleep, among older African American and white members of two sociodemographically matched cohorts, community-dwelling older adults and older adults with chronic renal failure undergoing maintenance dialysis therapy. Sleep behaviors reflect a…
Race and Restless Sleep Complaint in Older Chronic Dialysis Patients and Nondialysis Community Controls
There is mixed evidence about the relation of race to risk of sleep disturbance. We explored the relation of race to restless sleep complaint in survey data from a cohort of 311 older patients undergoing chronic renal dialysis and a similarly aged cohort of 354 nondialysis controls. Older dialysis patients were significantly more likely to report restless sleep. Restless sleep complaint was related to comorbidity, depressed mood, use of sleep med…
Structure of Lifestyle Disruptions in Chronic Disease: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Illness Intrusiveness Ratings Scale
BACKGROUND: The Illness Intrusiveness Ratings Scale (IIRS) measures the extent to which disease or its treatment or both interfere with activities in important life domains. Before comparing IIRS scores within or across groups it is crucial to determine whether a common underlying factor structure exists across patient populations. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the factor structure underlying the IIRS and evaluate its stability across diagnoses. METH…
Self-Report Benefits of Tai Chi Practice by Older Adults
Older persons who are willing to begin exercise programs are often not willing to continue them. At the Atlanta FICSIT (Frailty and Injuries: Cooperative Studies of Intervention Techniques) site, individuals aged 70+ were randomized to Tai Chi (TC), individualized balance training (BT), and exercise control education (ED) groups for 15 weeks. In a follow-up assessment 4 months post-intervention, 130 subjects responded to exit interview questions …

Cost-Benefit Issues in U. S. National Health Legislation: The Case of the End-Stage Renal Disease Program
Since 1973, the U.S. government has been subsidizing the cost of dialysis treatment and organ transplantation for people suffering from kidney disease. But costs have been rising at an alarming rate. Home dialysis treatment is cheaper than treatment in a hospital or clinic, but only a small number of patients who could use home treatment actually do so. This paper examines factors, including physicians' financial profits, that affect treatment de…

Women and Chronic Renal Failure: Some Neglected Issues
It has been assumed until recently that chronic renal failure is more prevalent among men than among women, but data now indicate that at least half of all renal patients are women. The literature continues to focus on adjustment problems of male patients, especially sexual adjustment and job-loss problems, and to assume that women can adjust more easily because of their ability to maintain the homemaker role. However, women patients whose work s…

The Decision to Enter Medicine: Motivations, Social Support, and Discouragements for Women
Responses from 93% of the women medical students enrolled in two southern medical schools in 1975–1976 indicated that wanting to serve others, desire for independence in one's work, and interest in science were strong motivations for entering medicine. These motivations also characterized men. Women, more often than men, cited the challenge of a medical career, and they showed more interest in high occupational prestige than have women medical sc…

Sources of Sex Discrimination in Educational Systems: A Conceptual Model
A conceptual model is presented which relates numerous variables believed to contribute to sexism in American education. Discrimination is viewed as intervening between two sets of interrelated independent variables and the dependent variable of sex inequalities in educational attainment. The two sets of independent variables are 1) internal psychological-cognitive structures of individuals who participate in the educational system, and 2) the ed…
Low Income, Ethnicity, and Voluntary Association Involvement
Data on voluntary association participation among low-income members of major ethnic groups in the U.S. are reviewed. Low-income blacks are most likely to participate, followed by (2) whites and Mexican Americans and (3) Italian Americans and Puerto Ricans. Reasons for these ethnic differences are considered. More general factors affecting voluntary association patterns of low-income persons are also considered, and a means for increasing their v…

The Poor Vs. the Non-poor: An Ethnic and Metropolitan-Nonmetropolitan Comparison
Indicators of 29 of Oscar Lewis' poverty traits were examined to see if poor and non-poor families differed significantly in frequency of demonstrating the traits. Families representing six ethnic/residence population types were considered: metropolitan white, nonmetropolitan white, metropolitan black, nonmetropolitan black, metropolitan Spanish-speaking, and nonmetropolitan Spanish-speaking. Of the 29 traits investigated, for 24 traits a signifi…
