abstract: 'Background Social relationships are powerful determinants of health and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequalities in social relationships across socioeconomic status (SES)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
groups may contribute to social inequalities in health. This study
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
investigates inequalities in social relationships in an international
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sample of persons with spinal cord injury and explores whether social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gradients in relationships are moderated by the countries'' socioeconomic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
development (SED). Methods Data from 12,330 participants of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
International SCI Community Survey (InSCI) performed in 22 countries
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
were used. We regressed social relationships (belongingness,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relationship satisfaction, social interactions) on individual SES
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(education, income, employment, financial hardship, subjective status)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and countries'' SED (Human Development Index) using multi-level models
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(main effects). To test potential moderation of the SED, interaction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
terms between individual SES and countries'' SED were entered into
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
multi-level models. Results Paid work, absence of financial hardship and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
higher subjective status were related to higher belongingness (OR, 95\%
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CI: 1.50, 1.34-1.67; 1.76, 1.53-2.03; 1.16, 1.12-1.19, respectively),
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
higher relationship satisfaction (OR, 95\% CI: 1.28, 1.15-1.42; 1.97,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.72-2.27; 1.20, 1.17-1.24, respectively) and fewer problems with social
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
interactions (Coeff, 95\% CI: 0.96, 0.82-1.10; 1.93, 1.74-2.12; 0.26,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
0.22-0.29, respectively), whereas associations with education and income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
were less consistent. Main effects for countries'' SED showed that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
persons from lower SED countries reported somewhat higher relationship
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
satisfaction (OR, 95\% CI: 0.97, 0.94-0.99) and less problems with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social interactions (Coeff, 95\% CI: -0.04, -0.09- -0.003). Results from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
moderation analysis revealed that having paid work was more important
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for relationships in lower SED countries, while education and subjective
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
status were more important for relationships in higher SED countries
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(interaction terms p<0.05). Conclusion Social relationships in persons
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with spinal cord injury are patterned according to individual SES and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the countries'' SED and larger socioeconomic structures partly moderate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associations between individual SES and social relationships.'
