Psychological distress, social support and social support seeking: A prospective study among primary mental health care patients

A Structural Equation Modeling Approach to the Study of Stress and Psychological Adjustment in Emerging Adults

“…First, social support may be defined in terms of the quantity of social relationships or the actual structure of individuals' support networks. Second, social support is defined commonly by the quality of social relationships, such as the degree to which individuals perceive their relationships to provide adequate emotional and instrumental support [22]. Finally, social support can be viewed as an interpersonal transaction that involves the actual receipt of support, including emotional concern, instrumental aid (e.g., goods or services), information, and/or appraisal assistance [23].…”

Support‐seeking, perceived support, and anxiety in mothers and fathers after children's cancer treatment

“…At the same time, the seeking of social support as a coping strategy seems to be only modestly, if at all, related to distress among parents of children with cancer (Lindahl Norberg et al, 2005) as well as in other situations (Eurelings-Bontekoe et al, 1995). Hoekstra-Weebers et al (1999) found a decrease in support-seeking to be associated with increased emotional distress in mothers of children with cancer.…”

The relationship among patient contemplation, early alliance, and continuation in psychotherapy.

“…Keywords: therapeutic alliance, contemplation, readiness to change, psychological distress, continuation, ambivalence Psychotherapy research over the last few decades suggests that both a strong therapeutic alliance (Bordin, 1979;Crits-Christoph & Connolly, 2003) and a patient's readiness to change (Prochaska, Norcross, & DiClemente, 1994) influence therapeutic effectiveness and continuation of psychotherapy. Other factors important to treatment success include the level of psychological distress (a common motivation for referral to treatment; Eurelings-Bontekoe, Diekstra, & Verschuur, 1995), and patient retention early in therapy. The main purpose of the present study was to investigate how the patients in the contemplation stage of readiness to change and their psychological distress affect the establishment of the therapeutic alliance and continuation of treatment following the first session of psychotherapy.…”
