Background: Pre-operative patients are not only suffering from physical and physiological symptoms but they might have psychological issues which may lead to mental health issues. However, different psychosocial factors may help in managing the mental health problems in pre-operative patients. Purpose: This study was aimed to investigate the mediating role of perceived social support on mental health problems in pre-operative patients. Methodology: The sample of the study consisted of 180 participants who were going to get their major surgery done in a week including 51% men and 49% women between the ages of 18-35 years. The participants were presented with a questionnaire including a demographics sheet and three Urdu translated scales as Self -Compassion Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale. Results: The results indicated that there was a significant negative correlation between self-compassion/perceived social support and mental health problems in pre-operative patients. The Pearson Product-Moment Correlation indicated a significant relationship among self-compassion, perceived social support, and mental health problems. Conclusion: The current study spotlighted the importance of the pre-operative time in young adults and the dire need for counseling services to be provided to the patients in this crucial time to enhance the chances of post-operative recovery and wellbeing of the patients.

In line with the current psychological approach to health in general, mental health is perceived not only as the absence of psychopathological disorders, but also the presence of well-being. The study contributes to the identification of possible sources affecting mental health in adolescence. This cross-sectional study focuses on the role of personality traits, dispositional optimism, and perceived social support in predicting mental health in adolescence. Mental health was assessed using Mental Health Continuum, personality traits using Big Five Inventory, dispositional optimism using Life Orientation Test—Revised and social support by Close Relationships and Social Support Scale. The research sample consisted of 1,239 respondents aged 12 to 19 years (mean age 15.56 years), 54.3% females and 45.7 % males. Sequential regression analysis revealed that demographic variables and personality characteristics together explained 33.5% of mental health variance, the strongest predictors being extraversion and neuroticism. Including dispositional optimism and perceived social support resulted in a significant increase of the explained variance. All predictors together explained 46.0% of the mental health variance.
