Social support mediates social frailty with anxiety and depression
The findings suggest that while social frailty may not directly impact anxiety or depression in patients with AECOPD, social support plays a crucial mediating role. Enhancing social support can indirectly alleviate anxiety and depression among these patients. Enhancing social support networks should thus be prioritized by healthcare providers and family members to improve mental health outcomes in this patient population.
