Unveiling the Link between Perceived Social Support and Psychological Well-being: A Study on Satisfaction with Life among Cardiovascular Patients
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels are the primary global cause of mortality (McNamara et al., 2019). The current investigation explored the relationships between perceived social support, psychological well-being, and life satisfaction in individuals diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. In a recent study conducted in Sialkot, Pakistan, 100 individuals diagnosed with cardiovascular disease (CVD) were purposively sampled. The evaluation utilized custom demographic questionnaires and standardized tools, including the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Ryff 42-item Psychological Well-being Scale, and Satisfaction with Life Scale. Data analysis employed descriptive and inferential statistics, encompassing normality tests, correlation coefficients, T-tests, and regression analysis to examine the relationships among variables. The study uncovered a compelling association, indicating a notably strong positive correlation (r = .51, p < 0.01) between perceived social support and psychological well-being, suggesting that increased social support may contribute to improved mental wellness. Additionally, the investigation revealed another significant finding, highlighting a robust positive correlation (r = .60, p < 0.01) between perceived social support and life satisfaction, emphasizing the positive impact of social support on overall life contentment. Individuals diagnosed with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and strong perceived social support generally exhibit positive psychological well-being and increased life satisfaction.
