摘要

To compare the effect of problem-solving therapy against a health-promotion intervention (dietary practices) on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and examine if there is a differential effect on non-Latino white patients and African American patients between the two interventions. This paper also explores participant characteristics (problem-solving style and physical functioning) as potential predictors of HRQOL. Methods: Secondary analysis of data from a randomized depression prevention trial involving 247 older adults (154 non-Latino white, 90 African American, 3 Asian). Participants were randomly assigned to receive either problem solving therapy for primary care (PST-PC) or coaching in healthy dietary practices (DIET). Results: Both PST-PC and DIET improved HRQOL over two years and did not differ significantly from each other. African American patients in both conditions had greater improvements in mental health-related quality of life (MHRQOL) compared with non-Latino white patients. In addition, higher social problem-solving and physical functioning were predictive of improved MHRQOL. Conclusion: PST-PC and DIET have the potential to improve health-related quality of life in a culturally relevant manner. Both hold promise as effective and potentially scalable interventions that could be generalized to highly disadvantaged populations in which little attention to HRQOL has been paid.
