Childhood trauma (CT) – emotional, physical or sexual abuse, or emotional or physical neglect – has been associated with HIV infection and can lead to poor health outcomes and depression in adulthood. Though the impact of CT on depression may be decreased by social support, this may not be true of individuals living with HIV, due to the additive traumatic effects of both CT and acquisition of HIV. This study examined social support, depression, and CT among HIV-infected (n = 134) and HIV-uninfected (n = 306) men and women. Participants (N = 440) were assessed regarding sociodemographic characteristics, CT, depression, and social support. Participants were racially and ethnically diverse, 36 ± 9 years of age on average, and 44% had an income of less than USD$500 a month. Among HIV-uninfected individuals, social support explained the association between depression in persons with CT ( b = 0.082, bCI [0.044, 0.130]). Among HIV-infected individuals, after accounting for sociodemographic characteristics, social support did not explain the association between depression and CT due to lower levels of social support among HIV-infected individuals [95% CI: −0.006, 0.265]. The quality of social support may differ among HIV-infected persons due to decreased social support and smaller social networks among those living with HIV. Depressive symptoms among those living with HIV appear to be less influenced by social support, likely due to the additive effects of HIV infection combined with CT.

This chapter aims at studying the effect of the implicit factors on the intention of establishing an institution for the students of an Algerian university. The structural model of the study was proposed based on the Shapiro and Sokol model and the Ajzen model. The authors tested it on a sample of 163 university students at the University of Algeria 3. The model consists of a set of variables (the intention of establishing an institution as a dependent variable, structural and social educational support as independent variables). The results of the study showed that educational and social support factors affect the entrepreneurial spirit of students more than structural support. Value/authenticity of research enrich knowledge management literature that contributes to the search for how to support investment and support the intention to establish a special institution for young people through various mechanisms and means of support.

Background: University students being energetic, active, and robust engage proactively in their lives. Students’ coping styles are important to deal with daily life issues. The current study investigated the mediating role of coping style between social support and psychological well-being among students of Karachi University, Pakistan. Method: To test the hypotheses, a sample of 105 university students (males 51 & females 55) with the age ranging between 19 to 36 years (mean age= 24.85; SD=.478) belonging to different socioeconomic status were selected from the University of Karachi, Pakistan. After taking permission from HOD of concerned departments, Demographic Information Form, Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale Coping styles scale, and Psychological Well-Being Scale were administered on participants in group settings. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and Hayes’ PROCESS macro and bootstrap analysis were performed.Results: Problem-focused coping contributes 18 % variance in the psychological well-being of university students. Moreover, Social support brings 35 % and 46 % variation in the relationship of problem-focused coping; emotion-focused coping, and psychological well-being.Conclusion: Problem-focused coping was shown as an important mediating factor for social support and psychological wellbeing.

AbstractObjectivesUniversity students with pain face unique physical, psychological, social and academic challenges, but research on this is limited. The main aim of this study was to examine how pain, disability and perceived social support relate to psychological and academic outcomes in students with pain. It also compared students with pain and students without pain on measures of depression, anxiety and perceived social support.MethodsThree hundred and eleven students enrolled in Chinese universities took part in the study, 198 with pain (102 reported acute pain and 96 chronic pain) and 113 without pain. They completed measures of perceived social support, depression, anxiety, pain (intensity, frequency, duration), disability and pain interference with academic functioning.ResultsStudents with chronic pain reported higher levels of anxiety and depression and lower levels of perceived social support than students without pain. There were no significant differences between students with acute and chronic pain, and between students with acute pain and those without pain. In the pain sample (containing both acute and chronic pain group), greater interference with academic functioning was predicted by higher levels of pain and disability, and disability also predicted higher levels of depression. After controlling for effects of pain and disability, lower levels of perceived social support predicted higher levels of both anxiety and depression.ConclusionsThese results highlight the role of pain and disability in academic functioning and the role of perceived social support in psychological functioning of students with pain.
