Forced Displacement, Social Support, and Resilience: Meta-analytic Evidence.

A descriptive study to determine the effect of social support and resilience of nurses on the job performance of nurses. This is a descriptive survey research to identify the correlations of nurse job performance with social support and resilience among nurses, and to identify the factors affecting nurse job performance. The survey subjects were 183 nurses. The collected data were analyzed with the SPSS/WIN 23.0 program, using the descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient and Stepwise multiple regression analysis. Social support was scored as 3.62±.50, resilience was scored as 3.38±.49, nurse job performance was scored as 3.63±.52. Nurse job performance had a significant positive correlation with social support (r=.383, p<.001) and resilience (r=.545, p<.001). In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between social support and resilience (r=.484, p<.001). The variable that has the greatest effect on the nurse job performance of the subjects was resilience (β=.44, p<.001), followed by position higher than head nurse (β=.13, p<.033), social support (β=.16, p=.007), fixed working hours or other working patterns (β=.13, p=.042). In addition, resilience, positions, social support and working patterns explained about 37 percent of the nurse job performance (F=34.71, p<.001, R2=.37, Adj-R2=.35). All these results of this study suggest that higher resilience and social support levels, positions higher than head nurse in comparison with staff nurses and fixed working hours or other working patterns rather than shift work lead to a higher nurse job performance level. It is necessary to change the hospital environment that can enhance the resilience and social support of nurses. There is a need for an effective nursing staff management that can help improve nurse job performance.

Associations between COVID-19 related stigma and sleep quality among COVID-19 survivors six months after hospital discharge

Lifetime exposures to violence and related psychosocial stressors can increase the risk of suicidal ideation among immigrant women. This study examined the impact of cumulative childhood and adulthood victimization, along with key psychosocial stressors, on suicidal ideation among 1265 immigrant women who experienced intimate partner violence (IPV). It also explored the mediating role of coping resources, specifically resilience and social support, in the relationship between lifetime violence exposure and suicidal ideation. Secondary data drawn from an intervention study involving immigrant survivors of IPV were analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis procedures. The findings revealed that women who experienced multiple forms of violence in childhood and adulthood were 157% more likely to report suicidal ideation, highlighting the profound, long-lasting psychological impact of such experiences. Additionally, those who faced financial stress were 74% more likely to experience suicidal ideation, underscoring the connection between financial hardship and suicidal ideation. Mediation analysis showed that resilience and social support partially mediated the relationship between violence and suicidal ideation. Higher levels of social support and resilience were associated with 3% and 40% lower likelihood of suicidal ideation, respectively. These results suggest that emotional and social resources and abilities to cope with adversity play a crucial role in mitigating the risks of suicidal ideation, even in the face of significant life stressors. These findings highlight the need for comprehensive, trauma-informed interventions that address psychosocial stressors, strengthen social support, and promote resilience to reduce the risk of suicidal ideation in immigrant women affected by lifetime violence exposures.

This study aims to understand the relationship between psychological resilience and social support in family resilience and demoralization syndrome (DS) in decompensated cirrhotic patients and verify whether there is a parallel mediation effect. A cross-sectional design was adopted, and a questionnaire was administered to 260 patients with decompensated cirrhosis in Jinan, Shandong Province, China. The Mandarin Version of the Demoralization Scale (DS-MV) was used to assess DS. Spearman's correlation was used to analyze the relationship between family resilience, DS, psychological resilience, and social support, and predictors of DS were explored using multiple linear regression. Parallel mediation effect analysis was performed using a bootstrap test. The proportion of patients with severe DS was 18.46% of those with decompensated cirrhosis. Spearman correlation analysis demonstrated that DS was negatively correlated with psychological resilience, family resilience, and social support (r = -0.738, p < 0.01; r = -0.668, p < 0.01; r = -0.405, p < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that psychological resilience (β = -0.477, p < 0.001), family resilience (β = -0.364, p < 0.001), and social support (β = -0.108, p = 0.01) could influence DS of decompensated cirrhotic patients. Bootstrap analysis confirmed a significant parallel mediation effect of psychological resilience and social support (95% CI: -0.999 to -0.499), accounting for 51.93% of the total effect. Family resilience had a significant direct effect (95% CI: -0.995 to -0.356), accounting for 48.07% of the total effect. Therefore, attention should be paid to DS in decompensated cirrhotic patients. Family resilience, psychological resilience, and social support can be used to decrease the level of DS.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the Path modeling effect among depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD), resilience, and social support on the quality of life (QoL) of natural disaster victims. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with 1,979 disaster victims’ cases by using the 4th Disaster victims panel survey in Korea. Data were collected from october 2018 to december 2018 and analyzed using regression analysis and path�way analysis. Results: Perceived health, depression, social support, PTSD, resilience, and QoL showed significant correlations. PTSD was directly affected by depression and QoL was affected by PTSD. Social support was directly affected by depression and resilience was also directly affected by depression. QoL was affected by social support and resilience. Conclusion: This analysis highlighted that the relation between lower depression and QoL was mediated by greater social support and resilience and lower degree of PTSD. These results suggest that community health interventions and education that incorporate social support and resilience may improve the quality of life of natural disaster victims.

Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a potentially fatal condition, leading to high psychological distress and possibly resulting in the development of depressive symptoms and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). The aim of this study was to investigate the association of clusters of positive psychosocial factors (resilience, task-oriented coping, positive affect and social support) with both MI-induced depressive symptoms and PTSS, independent of demographic factors. We investigated 154 consecutive patients with MI, 3 and 12 months after hospital discharge. All patients completed the short version of the German Resilience Scale, the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS), the Enriched Social Support Inventory (ESSI) and the Global Mood Scale (GMS). The level of interviewer-rated MI-induced posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms at 3- and 12-months follow-up was evaluated through the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS). Depressive symptoms were assessed at 3- and 12-month follow-up with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II). Three different clusters were revealed: (1) lonely cluster: lowest social support, resilience and average task-oriented coping and positive affect; (2) low risk cluster: highest resilience, task-oriented coping, positive affect and social support; (3) avoidant cluster: lowest task-oriented coping, positive affect, average resilience and social support. The clusters differed in depressive symptoms at 3 months (F = 5.10; p < 0.01) and 12 months follow-up (F = 7.56; p < 0.01). Cluster differences in PTSS were significant at 3 months (F = 4.78, p < 0.05) and 12 months (F = 5.57, p < 0.01) follow-up. Differences in PTSS subscales were found for avoidance (F = 4.8, p < 0.05) and hyperarousal (F = 5.63, p < 0.05), but not re-experiencing, at 3 months follow-up. At 12 months follow-up, cluster differences were significant for re-experiencing (F = 6.44, p < 0.01) and avoidance (F = 4.02, p < 0.05) but not hyperarousal. The present study contributes to a better understanding of the relationships among different positive psychosocial factors, depressive symptoms and PTSS following acute MI. Future interventions may benefit from taking into account positive psychosocial factors to potentially reduce patients' depressive symptoms and PTSS after MI.

Young adults' resilience and social support are critical factors influencing their ability to cope with inter-parental conflict. This study investigates the relationships among inter-parental conflict, social support, and resilience in young adults. While previous research has explored the impact of family dynamics on individual well-being, there is a scarcity of studies specifically examining how inter-parental conflict correlates with social support and resilience in this demographic. To address this gap, we employed a quantitative research design, utilizing the Children's Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale (CPIC), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Resilience Scale for data collection. A sample of 206 young adults aged 18 to 25 was selected through purposive sampling. The results reveal significant relationships among inter-parental conflict, social support, and resilience in young adults. Additionally, significant differences were observed in these variables based on education level and gender. These findings suggest that enhancing social support and resilience may mitigate the adverse effects of inter-parental conflict. Future research should focus on developing intervention strategies to bolster the mental health and well-being of young adults facing such familial challenges.

The stress response to the stressors associated with acculturation is called acculturative stress, which is associated with negative outcomes such as symptoms of depression and anxiety. This thesis examined the extent to which acculturative stress is related to social anxiety, Taijin Kyofusho, resilience, social support, and types of social support in Asian international students studying in Canada. In this online cross-sectional study, a sample (n=75) of Asian international students, currently enrolled in postsecondary programs in Canada, completed self-report measures of acculturative stress, social anxiety, Taijin Kyofusho, resilience, social support, and sources of social support. The results indicated that social anxiety, Taijin Kyofusho, and resilience are related to acculturative stress, but that social anxiety is more strongly related to acculturative stress compared to Taijin Kyofusho. Social support did not predict acculturative stress, but living with family members was positively related to acculturative stress. Limitations, implications, and future directions are discussed.

Relationship of social support and health-related quality of life among migrant older adults: The mediating role of psychological resilience

&lt;b&gt;Background&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The aim of the study was to investigate whether in a group of adolescents – wards of children’s homes – the process of resilience occurs and to determine the role of resiliency (understood as a personality trait) and social support in this process. At least an average level of sense of quality of life was an indicator of resilience.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Participants and procedure&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Results of 60 adolescents were analyzed, among them 29 boys and 31 girls, aged 11-17 years (M = 14.80, SD = 2.00). The Subjective Quality of Life Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents, the Resiliency Assessment Scale, and the Social Support Questionnaire were used in the study.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Results&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Fifty-one and sixty one-hundredths percent of participants revealed at least an average level of sense of quality of life. Higher levels of resiliency and social support were found in subjects with a higher level of sense of quality of life. Resiliency and social support were found to be predictors of sense of quality of life in the examined group of adolescents, but resiliency has greater predictive power. Among resiliency factors, optimistic attitude and energy play the essential role in predicting sense of quality of life, and among the types of social support, information support is most important.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Conclusions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The results indicate that personal resources play a more important role in occurrence of the process of resilience than social resources.

Correlation Between Resilience and Social Support in Elderly Ischemic Stroke Patients

Internet gaming disorder (IGD) is a global public health concern for adolescents due to its potential severe negative consequences. Professional help-seeking is important for early screening, diagnosis, and treatment of IGD. However, research on the factors associated with professional help-seeking for IGD as well as relevant mediation mechanisms among adolescents is limited. Based on the stress coping theory, the conservation of resource theory, and behavioral change theories, this study investigated the prevalence and factors influencing the behavioral intention of professional help-seeking for internet gaming disorder (BI-PHSIGD). The research also explored the underlying mechanisms, including psychosocial resources like resilience and social support, perceived resource loss due to reduced gaming time, and self-efficacy, in professional help-seeking among adolescent internet gamers. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among secondary school students who were internet gamers in 2 Chinese cities from October 2019 to January 2020. Data from the full sample (N=1526) and a subsample of 256 IGD cases (according to the 9-item DSM-5 [Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition] IGD Checklist) were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the factors of BI-PHSIGD, while structural equation modeling was performed to test the proposed mediation mechanisms. The prevalence of BI-PHSIGD was 54.3% (829/1526) in the full sample and 40.6% (104/256) in the IGD subsample (vs 708/1239, 57.1% among non-IGD cases). In the full sample, psychosocial resources of resilience (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.03, 95% CI 1.02-1.05) and social support (aOR 1.03, 95% CI 1.02-1.04) as well as self-efficacy in professional help-seeking (aOR 1.64, 95% CI 1.49-1.81) were positively associated with BI-PHSIGD, while perceived resource loss due to reduced gaming time was negatively associated with BI-PHSIGD (aOR 0.97, 95% CI 0.96-0.98); the positive association between psychosocial resources and BI-PHSIGD was fully mediated via 2 single-mediator indirect paths (via self-efficacy in professional help-seeking alone: effect size=53.4%; indirect effect/total effect=0.10/0.19 and via perceived resource loss due to reduced gaming time alone: effect size=17.8%; indirect effect/total effect=0.03/0.19) and one 2-mediator serial indirect path (first via perceived resource loss due to reduced gaming time then via self-efficacy in professional help-seeking: effect size=4.7%; indirect effect/total effect=0.009/0.19). In the IGD subgroup, a full mediation via self-efficacy in professional help-seeking alone but not the other 2 indirect paths was statistically significant. Many adolescent internet gamers, especially those with IGD, were unwilling to seek professional help; as a result, early treatment is often difficult to achieve. To increase BI-PHSIGD, enhancing psychosocial resources such as resilience and social support, perceived resource loss due to reduced gaming time, and self-efficacy in professional help-seeking may be effective. Future longitudinal and intervention studies are needed to confirm and extend the findings.

The COVID-19 global pandemic caused the cancellation of all sports and disrupted the lives, workout regimens, academic assistance, team social support systems, athletic identity, and mental health of athletes. International student-athletes (ISAs) were a particular population affected and understudied. This study explored the psychological distress level experienced by ISAs during the early stage of the pandemic and examined the effects of self-compassion, resilience, and social support on their distress. Data were collected in April and May 2020 from a larger parent study which included 514 ISAs from all three NCAA Divisions, 74 countries, and 22 different sports. Results suggested ISAs were experiencing similar levels of distress as domestic student-athletes, non-athletes, and other international populations but there was a significant gender difference where ISA women reported significantly higher psychological distress than ISA men. Findings also indicated that self-compassion, resilience, and social support negatively predict psychological distress of ISAs. Although resilience and social support did not moderate the relation between self-compassion and psychological distress when examined separately, a significant interaction effect between resilience and self-compassion on psychological distress (p = .0497) was found when exploring the double moderator model. Specifically, ISAs high in resilience and low in self-compassion were the most distressed. Counseling and preventive interventions to enhance self-compassion, resilience, and social support of ISAs are discussed. Limitations, DEI implications, and future research directions of this study are outlined.

BackgroundQuality of life has become an important indicator for assessing the health care of adolescents. This study aimed to explore the relationship between negative life events and quality of life in adolescents and the potential mediating roles of resilience and social support.MethodsA stratified cluster sampling technique was used to select 3,860 adolescents as study participants. The Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Checklist, the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents, the Social Support Rating Scale, and the Adolescent Quality of Life Scale were used by participants to rate their negative life events, resilience, social support, quality of life, respectively. The correlations between study variables were analyzed by the Pearson correlation analyses. The AMOS 26.0 software was used to explore the mediating roles of resilience and social support in negative life events and quality of life.ResultsThere was a negative correlation between negative life events and quality of life (β=-0.745, P < 0.05); resilience and social support played an important mediating role in the relationship between negative life events and quality of life (βResilience = −0.287, P < 0.05; βSocial support = −0.124, P < 0.05). The emotional adjustment dimension of resilience (β = −0.285, P < 0.05) and the subjective support dimension of social support (β = −0.100, P < 0.05) played the largest mediating roles, respectively.ConclusionNegative life events were negatively correlated with adolescents' quality of life. Strengthening resilience and social support is expected to weaken and reduce the adverse effects of negative life events on adolescents and further maintain and improve their quality of life.
