“…This finding is consistent with prior research associating loneliness with poor self-rated health (Cacioppo and Cacioppo, 2014; Stickley et al, 2013; Yang and Victor, 2008), low self-esteem (Heinrich and Gullone, 2006; Vanhalst et al, 2013; Yalçin, 2015), psychological distress (e.g. anxiety, depression; Cacioppo and Cacioppo, 2014; Hawkley and Cacioppo, 2010; McWhirter, 1990; Stickley et al, 2013; Victor and Yang, 2012), life satisfaction (Statistics New Zealand, 2013) and perceived social support (Mahon et al, 2006; Yalçin, 2015). Moreover, individuals in the ‘high-loneliness’ profile were the most introverted and emotionally unstable, in keeping with previous work showing that neuroticism and introversion demonstrate strong positive associations with loneliness (Levin and Stokes, 1986) and negative associations with felt belongingness (Stronge et al, 2015).…”

“…The other 11 variables comprised five wellbeing indicators selected based on their consistent relationship with loneliness (e.g. Cacioppo and Cacioppo, 2014; Hawkley and Cacioppo, 2010; Statistics New Zealand, 2013; Yalçin, 2015), and six personality dimensions included based on research on personality determinants of loneliness (e.g. Levin and Stokes, 1986).…”

“…It refers to the emotional experience and satisfaction that an individual is respected, supported, and understood in the society. Therefore, we should focus on improving the strength of subjective support for patients, as well as encouraging and comforting patients in the treatment process ( 24 ). Although objective support and support utilization are not independent factors affecting COVID-19 patients, they still cannot be ignored.…”

Context: Since December 2019, more than 80,000 patients have been diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in China. Social support status of COVID-19 patients, especially the impact of social support on their psychological status and quality of life, needs to be addressed with increasing concern.Objectives: In this study, we used social support rating scale (SSRS) to investigate the social support in COVID-19 patients and nurses.Methods: The present study included 186 COVID-19 patients at a Wuhan mobile cabin hospital and 234 nurses at a Wuhan COVID-19 control center. Responses to a mobile phone app-based questionnaire about social support, anxiety, depression, and quality of life were recorded and evaluated.Results: COVID-19 patients scored significantly lower than nurses did on the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Among these patients, 33.9% had anxiety symptoms, while 23.7% had depression symptoms. Overall SSRS, subjective social support scores and objective support scores of patients with anxiety were lower than those of patients without anxiety. This result was also found in depression. In addition, all dimensions of social support were positively correlated with quality of life. Interestingly, in all dimensions of social support, subjective support was found to be an independent predictive factor for anxiety, depression, and quality of life, whereas objective support was a predictive factor for quality of life, but not for anxiety and depression via regression analysis.Conclusion: Medical staffs should pay attention to the subjective feelings of patients and make COVID-19 patients feel respected, supported, and understood from the perspective of subjective support, which may greatly benefit patients, alleviate their anxiety and depression, and improve their quality of life.

“…One of the great contributions to the literature of the positive psychology approach focusing on helping an individual to adapt best to life is the concept of well-being [31]. Well-being has been studied by many researchers [32][33][34]. Well-being does not mean an absence of mental discomfort, but is a concept focusing on finding the optimal level of functioning and personal growth by expressed experience [35].…”

Belonging is one of the basic psychological needs dealt with by many conceptualists. In different contexts the need to belong may be met at different levels. In this study the affiliation of 276 university students (178 females 64.5%, 98 males 35.5%) to their university was dealt with. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between the students' belonging to the university and well-being levels. Students in the research group were aged from 18 to 26 years, with mean age of 20.7 and standard deviation of 1.53. The group included 111 (40.2%) first year students, 95 (34.4%) second year students, 46 (16.7%) third year students and 24 (8.7%) fourth year students. Of students, 16 (5.8%) had poor economic status, 157 (56.9%) had moderate, 94 (34.1%) had good and 9 (3.3%) had very good economic status. The data collection tools of the Belonging to the University Scale and PERMA Profiler were used along with a personal information form. Analysis in the research used the multiple regression analysis and correlation techniques. According to the analysis results, the belonging to the university subdimensions of identification, expectation and motivation had a low level and significant correlation with well-being and these three subdimensions explained 15% of well-being. Additionally, there were significant correlations determined between belonging to the university, well-being, identification, meaning and health variables. In conclusion, as the belonging to the university level increases, it is considered university students' well-being levels will increase.
