“Some people go to priests. Others to poetry.I to my friends”. This quotation by Virginia Woolfe would be the perfect way to start this study. “A faithful friend is the medicine of life.” Again a quotation but this time by Apocrypha is apt to define the purpose of this study. Everyone has friends – sometimes only one, while at other times, many. But what is the importance of friendship or friends to a person? How does having a friend help us in our time of need, problems and sorrow? Is it possible that friendship relaxes us or reduces our tensions? Does friendship have effect on our well-being and especially psychological well-being? The aim of the current study was to find out what role does Friendship play in Psychological Well-Being. The study was carried on the sample of 200 individuals all aged from 17 to 35. Dimensions of Friendship Scale (SunandaChandna and N.K. Chadha, 1986) and Psychological Well-Being Scale (Bhogle and Jai Prakesh, 1995) were used for the purpose of measurement. Results indicated that there is a significant positive correlation (r = .723) at 0.01 level of significance between friendship and psychological well-being.

Does communication with terminal cancer patients about their disease influence their psychological well-being? The degree of patient-carer consensus about the disease was compared to psychological well-being related to acceptance of the disease, emotional state, and hope. These were evaluated and scored from 6 (good) to 0 (poor) through a semi-structured interview of 10 open-ended questions. Nineteen palliative care patients were studied, 18 of whom were suffering from advanced cancer. Overall, 57 interviews were conducted with the patients, staff nurses, and medical doctors. The answers of the carers (staff nurses and doctors) were compared to the patients’ answers to determine the degree of consensus in terms of communication about disease, aim of treatment, and ultimate objective of hospitalization. The consensus between patients and carers was scored from 6 (satisfactory) to 0 (unsatisfactory). A significant positive correlation between the scores of consensus and those of psychological well-being ( r=0.90, p<0.001) was found. These results suggest that good and truthful communication may improve patients’ psychological well-being.
