Introduction: Improving the Quality of Life (QoL) is considered one of the main objectives in the care of cancer patients. Achieving this objective, it is essential to determine the factors affecting QoL in cancer patients. The studies in the literature have determined the effects of various factors on QoL but social support from family has remained to be studied.  Objective: The present study aimed to determine the relationship between perceived social support from family and QoL in cancer patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in an oncology unit of a university hospital in İzmir City, Turkey, from March to October 2019. A convenience sample of 276 cancer patients participated in the study. A patient identification form, the Perceived Social Support from family scale (PSS-Family), and the Quality of Life index-cancer version (QLI-C) were used for data collection. The scores of PSS-Family and QLI-C range from 0 to 20 and from 66 to 396, respectively. Regression analysis was used to estimate the effect of perceived social support from family on QoL. Results: Of the participants, 65.2% were female. The Mean±SD age of the study sample was 47.5±14.4 years. Also, the Mean±SD scores of PSS-Family and QLI-C were 16.43±3.01 and 307.77±27.48, respectively. Regression analysis revealed that perceived social support from family was associated with a relative increase in QoL index (B=3.44, P=0.001, R2=0.141). Conclusion: Perceived social support from family is positively associated with QoL in cancer patients. Nurses should consider this relationship when they plan to improve the QoL of cancer patients.

The Relationship

Social support has been supposed to have a positive impact on the function of the immune system. However, the relationship between perceived social support and immune function has not yet been fully investigated. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the link between perceived social support and lymphocyte subpopulations and cytokines. 232 healthy subjects provided a blood sample and completed the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) questionnaire. Lymphocyte immunophenotypes and cytokines were determined. Significantly increased CD8+CD57+ lymphocytes and TNF-αlevels were found in group with low perceived social support. Multivariate linear regression corrected for possible confounders confirmed a significant role of perceived social support in predicting the number of CD8+CD57+ lymphocyte and TNF-αlevels. This study supports the association between perceived social support and immune function. In particular, poor social support may be related to a state of chronic inflammation sustained by CD8+CD57+ lymphocyte expansion and increased TNF-αlevels.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and is able to spread rapidly in humans. Preventive behavior is important for every individual to maintain their health during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to determine the relationship between social support (family, friends, health workers), perceptions of the response to COVID-19, and exposure to social media for COVID-19 prevention behavior. This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Jabodetabek area in May 2020 with a voluntary sampling technique. The participants were 424 respondents. The proportion of respondents with good COVID-19 prevention behavior was 45.2%. The results of the multivariate analysis showed family support (OR = 2.736; 95% CI = 1.654 - 4.517), peer support (OR = 2.035; 95% CI = 1.205 - 3,436), support from health professionals (OR = 1.729; 95% CI = 1.023 - 2,923); and sources of information regarding COVID-19 (OR = 1,692; 95% CI = 1,036 - 2,764) had a significant relationship with COVID-19 prevention behavior (P <0.05). It can be concluded that family support has dominant influence on COVID-19 prevention behavior in Jabodetabek community. For this reason, social support from the smallest scale (family) and reliable sources of information related to COVID-19 are needed so that community can implement COVID-19 prevention behavior properly in daily life. Abstrak Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) merupakan penyakit menular yang disebabkan oleh virus SARS- CoV-2 dan mampu menyebar dengan cepat pada manusia. Perilaku pencegahan penting dilakukan oleh setiap individu demi menjaga kesehatannya di masa pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan dukungan sosial (keluarga, teman, dan tenaga kesehatan), persepsi penanggulangan COVID-19, dan keterpaparan terhadap media sosial terhadap perilaku pencegahan COVID-19. Penelitian cross-sectional dilakukan pada bulan Mei 2020 di wilayah Jabodetabek dengan teknik voluntary sampling. Responden berjumlah 424 responden. Proporsi responden dengan perilaku pencegahan COVID-19 yang baik sebesar 45,2%. Hasil analisis multivariat menunjukkan dukungan keluarga (OR= 2,736; CI 95%= 1,654 - 4,517), dukungan teman (OR=2,035; CI 95%= 1,205 - 3,436), dukungan tenaga kesehatan (OR=1,729; CI 95%= 1,023 - 2,923); dan sumber informasi mengenai COVID-19 (OR= 1,692; CI 95%= 1,036 - 2,764) memiliki hubungan yang signifikan terhadap perilaku pencegahan COVID-19 (P<0,05). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa dukungan keluarga memiliki pengaruh dominan terhadap perilaku pencegahan COVID-19 pada masyarakat Jabodetabek. Oleh karena itu, dukungan sosial dari skala terkecil (keluarga) dan sumber informasi terpercaya sangat dibutuhkan agar masyarakat mampu menerapkan perilaku pencegahan COVID-19 dengan baik dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.

The Relationship

It has been observed that previous findings in this area of study are inconsistent. While some claimed significant relations others revealed insignificant and negative relations. A situation of this nature warrants a contingency relationship between the independent and dependent variables so as to clearly explain their relationship. Due to this therefore, this particular study investigates the moderating role of religious factor on the relationship between environmental factors and effective entrepreneurial awareness among the final year students of Crawford University, Igbesa. The study adopted a cross-sectional study research design with questionnaire research survey were 187 questionnaires were distributed. A systematic research sampling technique was employed to select 94 final year students who participated in the entrepreneurial awareness programme. The questionnaires data generated were analysed using SmartPLS 3.0 and the overall finding revealed that religious factors do not statistically and significantly moderate the relationship between environmental factors and effective entrepreneurial awareness among the final year students of Crawford University. The study then concludes that religious factors do not have the moderating power to moderate the influence of environmental factors on effective entrepreneurial awareness. The study also provides discussion on the findings as well as the limitation for future research.

Abstract: International students are a significant resource for many host countries because they increase cultural diversity within the community, offer talent and innovation to universities, and make notable economic contributions. Many studies, however, have shown that international students have lower psychological well-being. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the associations between psychological well-being as a dependent variable and perceived social support as an independent variable, and test the mediating roles of resiliency and spirituality in the link between perceived social support and psychological well-being. This is a cross-sectional study with a random sampling method. A total of 300 Chinese international students in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) participated in this study and completed four questionnaires, namely the Perceived Social Support scale, Psychological Well-being scale, the Spiritual Values scale, and Connor-Davidson Resilience scale. The results from PLS-SEM showed that greater levels of social support are associated with greater levels of psychological well-being. Resiliency and spirituality partially mediated the relationship between social support and psychological well-being. The findings of this study not only revealed an association between perceived social support and psychological well-being among Chinese international students in Malaysia but also expanded our knowledge of the mediating roles of resilience and spirituality in the relationship.   Keywords: International students, Perceived social support, Psychological well-being, Resiliency, Spirituality.

Abstract. Conflict avoidance increases across the adult lifespan. This cross-sectional study looks at conflict avoidance as part of a mechanism to regulate belongingness needs ( Sheldon, 2011 ). We assumed that older adults perceive more threats to their belongingness when they contemplate their future, and that they preventively react with avoidance coping. We set up a model predicting conflict avoidance that included perceptions of future nonbelonging, termed anticipated loneliness, and other predictors including sociodemographics, indicators of subjective well-being and perceived social support (N = 331, aged 40–87). Anticipated loneliness predicted conflict avoidance above all other predictors and partially mediated the age-association of conflict avoidance. Results suggest that belongingness regulation accounts may deepen our understanding of conflict avoidance in the second half of life.
