Suicidal tendencies as correlates of disability measures.
Journal of Health Psychology 2016 December
Disabilities and handicaps affect health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) and dysphoria symptoms (helpless, hopeless, worthless, dissatisfied with life, depressed, suicidal). Archived 2009 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) data (N=124,188) replicated 49 positive correlations (p<.001) of seven kinds of disability measured by the Health Utilities Index (HUI) with seven measures of dysphoria. Cognition and pain disabilities appeared most dysphoric. Individuals (N=724) in the 2009 CCHS data with HUI total scores less than 0.00 are defined by HUI protocols as "worse than dead." This HUI categorization has doubtful validity based on 17 measures of disability, suicidality, self-perceived health, and social engagement.
